## Reviews

### "Easy and Useful but a lot of bugs" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *June 14, 2024* | Warehousing | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is convenient to use, pretty decent user interface. I love the dialer as it is similar to phones and no feature is hidden.
> 
> **Cons**: I faced a lot of connectivity issues using VPN and also bluetooth connectivity issues with headphones.

-----

### "Very good and cost effective" — 4.0/5

> **Dennis** | *April 4, 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: 3CX is very easy to set up and get going. The soft phone, web interface, and admin software are all well designed and easy to use.
> 
> **Cons**: Unlike other VoIP / SIP based systems, to connect physical phones to 3CX you need to either have one of their phones that acts as an SBC or you need to set up an SBC in a small Linux VM. Other systems do not require this.
> 
> Overall 3CX is very good and you can start out for foree.

### "great phone system for remote team" — 4.0/5

> **Anna** | *November 23, 2023* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: works great to ensure we can stay away from call center features and have remote agents log in and control call flows. Covers most of our needs in digital phone service management for our clients
> 
> **Cons**: some agents would see occasional status change, need to address connectivity issues sometimes, but overall works great. Would love to have an option to add to the same call more than 2 numbers.

-----

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

> **Rena** | *March 28, 2026* | Accounting Software | 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** | *November 24, 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.
