### "Effective Communication Solution for Growing Businesses" — 5.0/5

> **Saqib** | *14 January 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We like the 3CX affordability, flexibility and ease of use. Especially its integration of voice, voice and chat into one platform makes It more reliable and user-friendly.
> 
> **Cons**: One con which I can personally feel it the instal setup system which is quite complex for a non-technical user and you have to go through with tone of documents in multiple support sessions. I think they can make it easier in terms of setup.
> 
> Overall experience is very good, I recommend it to large-scale businesses who want flexibility and ease of use of all features like voice, chat, and video call features in one place. Even though the setup process may require some technical knowledge, the user interface is intuitive, and the system performs well once it's up and running.

### "Superb feature rich phone system" — 5.0/5

> **Wasek** | *28 July 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Brilliant Voip service. The best feature is the rich flexibility it offers from ring groups, digital receptionist, reports. The telephony experience is brilliant via handset/app and managing the system via admin console.
> 
> **Cons**: The latest update - version 20 has removed some features such as granular reports. The user interface has been redesigned which is not as polished as the previous version.
> 
> The experience has been fantastic. I use 3CX via the desktop app, ios app and a voip handset. I have never had a issue making or receiving calls and the customisation setting up the phone system is very deep. Lots of control within the service.
