Pros from Real Users Pros Easy to use and great features. The value for money is great. Support Linux and Windows. And great support team. 3CX is very easy to use, for both the end user and the admin. Loaded with great features. The pricing structure is very affordable and more than competitive with other solutions out there. They are constantly adding updates and new features or improving on the ones they already had. Easy to use. Reliable. Fast. Features are unreal. Set it and forget it. Chat features through a website. Texting to land lines is awesome. It goes on and on. Flexible platform, user friendly, excellent support, moderate pricing, versions just keep getting better. Incredibly user friendly with standard features normally hidden behind paywalls or add-on modules. Ability to allow users to manage their own extension settings and desk phone(s) to their liking along with time of day rules and routing allow admins to focus on the running of the system instead of the headaches of user management. Small offices can get started with NO licensing costs! But, even so, the cost of licensing for larger systems is very reasonable when you break it down 'per phone'. 3CX incorporates every feature you'd need to provide to businesses a way to facilitate a fantastic customer experience. We love the call queues so that customers don't have to endlessly hunt for an employee. The advanced database integration is mostly unheard of these days. Easy phone and trunk configuration make it a breeze to rollout. Easy to manage. Lot's of administrative tasks are automated like renewing SSL certs. Flexible for most businesses. Never pay per extension. Most innovative IP-PBX around. Scales up & down - easy to install & maintain. Answer calls from anywhere. Audio/video calls from you mobile. All these feature for a meagre annual license price. Easy to configure and manage. Stability is key and 3CX doesn't fall short. SBC management and configuration is a breeze, people without knowledge can build their PBX easy.		Pros from Real Users Pros Intermedia has a very stable and reliable product. There are a number of features that have been added over the years that make the product continue to grow and improve. Ease of use and customer service. Intermedia seems to be very thorough and detailed. We appreciate the attention to detail. Seemless transition from desktop (hard) phone to the app. Emails are sent as soon as messages are received. Customer service is excellent when needed. Everything! Easy to use. Can use same system in two different offices. The technical support is amazing. The Administrative support is very professional and nice.
