AI could be great for call management. ----- ### "Very good and cost effective" — 4.0/5 > **Dennis** | *4 April 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. ----- ### "Best in Class" — 5.0/5 > **Lyle** | *1 May 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The PC Softphone App and Mobile App work awesome. I can seamlessly pick up calls on either the computer or on my cell phone > > **Cons**: Both the PC and Cell phone APP could use interface update as it is a bit clunky and hard to find certain functions like how to transfer a call unless you read up on it. > > I work fully remote and am using Cellular internet and it works great; I make calls and receive calls all day and rarely run into a issue. ----- ### "Tremendous 3cx" — 5.0/5 > **Mohammed** | *30 June 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love 3CX for not missing any work calls when I’m away from my office. It’s tremendous app keeps me connected every time. > > **Cons**: The only drawback I noticed the phone calls quality on the app is not up to mark and sometimes drops. > > Overall it’s very reliable and gives you all in one connection and helps you in executing the communication smoothly. ----- ### "Great first impressions" — 5.0/5 > **Richard** | *22 April 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's very flexible and easy to configure different options.
