## Reviews

### "User friendly versatile communication" — 4.0/5

> **Rena** | *28 March 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the user friendly set up. They are also there with step by step instructions to help. I like the ability to forward calls to another office with ease. All there user manuals are available on the website. 2 factor authentication for the online platform is important, extra safety is always a good thing.
> 
> **Cons**: The online platform should have more user settings. Also, maybe more detailed instructions from the very beginning would be great, because the initial set up instructions are vague and can be frustrating.
> 
> Awesome. I had help setting up when I needed it. It works very well for our company which has 2 offices about an hour apart from each other.

### "Great PBX software\!" — 5.0/5

> **Juan** | *24 November 2025* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Simultaneous calls licensing, customization, mobile apps. Esay of use and great integrations are the things I like the most.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes 3CX is a little slow reacting to market requirements, necessary to stay on top. Just have to be patient.
> 
> Best PBX software I have found (since 2017, every year). Great focus on security and value for money, and of course great deal of customization.

### "Overall good but could be better" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *30 October 2025* | Renewables & Environment | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: User friendly admin portal to track calls and recordings, view statistics of users, and pull reports. Allows for multiple numbers, open hours and schedules, notifications of missed calls, etc. Pay per minute rather than a flat monthly fee.
> 
> **Cons**: Inability to easily choose which number you will call from. Difficult to understand which phone line is ringing when you are receiving a call. Contacts does not always save changes you make on contacts.
> 
> It is a solid VOIP system but is not perfect. You can manage your employees easily, but there are some limitations.

-----

### "Seamless and efficient PBX software" — 5.0/5

> **Josh** | *15 December 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Extremely easy to setup and deploy with a huge range of handset options. Just can't be it for all your pbx needs.
> 
> **Cons**: Not that much at all. If I had to say something I would say the licencing should maybe have more options for smaller business deployments.
> 
> Seamless and efficient. Massive time saver for admin and users alike. Gives anyone the enterprise business phone system approach without the huge costs.

### "Easy and cost effective VoIP system with easy onboarding and administration" — 5.0/5

> **David** | *25 November 2025* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy VoIP onboarding, easy admin panel, cost is very competitive, supports multiple sites, supports mobile app ringing, supports DID.
> 
> **Cons**: Holiday and closure messages could be easier to schedule, hold music and internal extension navigation could be better to setup and manage.
> 
> Transition to 3CX from standard copper lines. We used a local MSP to assist with the rollout and training. Initial setup was On-Prem only, but we have since added cloud service as a backup. &#10;&#10;We have 2 locations across USA and Mexico and we were able to connect both sites into one system. We can dial our compatriots via extension regardless of their international location.&#10;&#10;Systems have an impeccable uptime and recover easily from power and internet outages.
