"Super simple to use"
3.5/5
What do you like best about 3CX?

What I like most about 3CX is its ease of use and versatility. The tool brings together all the functions needed for effective communication: calls, video conferences, internal chat, voicemail... everything is centralized in a single clear and smooth interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 3CX?

What I like a little less is the interface design, which seems a bit dated compared to other tools of the same type. The ergonomics remain good, but a more modern visual and a more dynamic layout would make the user experience even more pleasant and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Monika R of 3CX

Hello! Thanks for your review. We're glad to hear 3CX has helped centralize your communication tools and improved day-to-day collaboration, especially for remote work. We appreciate your feedback on the interface design - while function remains the priority, visual improvements are an area we continue to review.

"Adaptable, Configurable, Dependable"
5/5
What do you like best about 3CX?

3CX has been installed for about 5 years at my company - it was easy to install, it was easy to set up, and it has been easy to customise for our requirements. I've never once been unable to solve a problem using 3CX. We have specific requirements for out of hours contact, and have implemented a rota system for out-of-hours support using just 3CX and a bit of logic.

Despite the system being 5 years old, it has been regularly upgraded to the latest release - a process that is easy and dependable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 3CX?

3CX can sometimes be a bit picky about how certain SIP devices connect, but their support channels and the 3CX community have been very helpful in remediating these issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Monika R of 3CX

Hello Spencer! Thanks for your review. We're glad to hear that 3CX has been a reliable and adaptable solution for your business over the years, and that it's supported your custom requirements, including out-of-hours routing and secure deployments. We appreciate your feedback on SIP device compatibility - glad to hear our support resources and community have been helpful. Thanks again for sharing your experience.

"Feature-Rich, Robust, and Hard to Beat"
5/5
What do you like best about 3CX?

No product is more feature rich and robust as 3cx. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 3CX?

Cost. Aside from that—which honestly isn’t too bad—I don’t see any real downsides, other than the occasional security flaw or incident. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Monika R of 3CX

Hi Zac. Thanks for the great feedback.

We’re glad to hear you value the feature set and reliability of 3CX. As for cost, we aim to remain one of the most affordable full-featured PBX solutions in the market, especially compared to traditional systems or all-in-one SaaS tools.

Regarding security, we take it seriously. Following the 2023 incident, we’ve implemented strict internal processes. Appreciate your continued trust in 3CX.

"Transformed Our Telephony Across 20 Schools – Reliable, Cost-Effective, and Cloud-Ready"
5/5
What do you like best about 3CX?

3CX has completely transformed the way we handle communication across our Multi Academy Trust. We're running our own self-hosted version using a cloud based datacentre host, linking 20 school locations—three secondaries and 17 primaries—all under one centralised system.

Every staff member has their own extension, which has been a game-changer for staying connected, whether it's during field trips or on days when adverse weather keeps people working from home.

It really came into its own during lockdown. While many were scrambling to patch together remote communication, we were able to switch to remote operations seamlessly. The flexibility it provides is outstanding.

From a financial perspective, it’s been a massive win. Our entire setup—including all SIP lines—costs us less than £10k a year. To put that into context, each of our secondary schools used to pay that much *individually* per year. Now, we have a unified, internal system that’s saving our Multi Academy Trust a significant amount annually while giving us more control and consistency.

Teachers and support staff genuinely love the platform. Features like click-to-call have been an unexpected highlight—especially when it comes to reaching out to parents through our MIS. It’s intuitive, efficient, and fits perfectly into our cloud-first approach.

I’m a huge fan of 3CX and can't see us moving away from it anytime soon. It’s not just a telephony solution; it’s part of our digital backbone now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 3CX?

If I had one wish for future development, it would be deeper integration with Microsoft 365. For example, being able to automatically assign extension numbers based on group membership—like giving everyone in a specific M365 group an extension starting with "32XX"—would streamline onboarding and user management even further. It’s a small ask, but it would take an already brilliant system to the next level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Monika R of 3CX

Hello Christopher! Thanks for the detailed review. We're glad to hear that 3CX has been able to deliver flexibility, cost savings, and a unified communication system across your Multi Academy Trust. It’s great to know features like click-to-call and remote access have made a real difference for your staff and operations. We appreciate the feedback on Microsoft 365 integration - it's noted. Thanks again for choosing 3CX as part of your digital strategy.

"Absolutely Love 3CX as a Reseller! A Game-Changer."
5/5
What do you like best about 3CX?

3CX stands out for its intuitive design and comprehensive feature set. The web client and mobile apps are incredibly user-friendly, empowering our clients to stay connected seamlessly from anywhere. Features like the visual call flow designer and straightforward user management make both initial setup and ongoing administration remarkably simple for businesses of all sizes, leading to high client satisfaction and fewer support requests for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 3CX?

Okay, in general terms, one area for improvement in 3CX, particularly relevant for resellers managing multiple clients or larger organizations, lies in enhancing the flexibility and granularity of the multi-tenant system. While it offers a solid foundation, further development could focus on providing more advanced customization options and resource management at the individual tenant level.

Specifically, a key area for improvement could be finding more streamlined solutions for scenarios where multiple departments or tenants within the same physical location need to utilize the same SIP trunk or VoIP provider using the same public IP address. Current configurations for such scenarios can sometimes be complex or require workarounds. Simplifying this would significantly benefit resellers managing diverse client needs and improve deployment efficiency in various network environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're glad to hear that 3CX has been a solid solution for you as a reseller and that the features, ease of use, and client satisfaction are meeting expectations. We appreciate the detailed input regarding multi-tenant setups and SIP trunk scenarios, your insights are valuable and noted. Thanks again for your continued support.
