### "3CX is not excellent" — 3.0/5

> **Kristan** | *9 December 2024* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to route calls from a central switchboard to individual desktops make this software very useful in our remote working office set up.
> 
> **Cons**: The 3CX app is a chrome app that can run from the desktop. I set it to auto start and auto sign in. However there are still issues with this system. I have missed calls before and the answer machine sends to email instead of the app itself. It doesn't tell me which number is calling either.
> 
> Overall I have had more joy with Microsoft Teams telephony than 3CX. There's a ton of potential with 3CX but it has largely been quite disappointing to use and not as user friendly as I would have hoped.

> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use system, great functionally in software
>

> 
> Very good system, easy to navigate . simple
