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 & Cons from Real Users Pros I use for my business Zoiper since 7 years. I've try many others and i always back to Zoiper. Easy to config, easy to use with multi different VoIP provider. Exist for all OS. And the most important, one lifetime price. I use it anywhere in the world and it never failed. It registers to the PBX and I can assign different ringtones to each registration. That's about it. Sadly, this app is a prefect example of inexperienced amateurs or a company that simply couldn't care less about what they put out. I used it with handset then move it to mobile works well. Their customer service support is good but takes long through email but price much reasonable I used Free trial and upgraded its affordable. Cons Zoiper hasn't changed much since 2019 and integrating it into certain phone models is sometimes difficult. 1. Zoiper will not ring priority callers when the phone is in Do Not Disturb mode. This is an expected behavior - one which every native dialer properly does. 2. Huge waste of screen real-estate that could be used to provide easily touchable function buttons instead of the tiny ones at the top of the screen. 3. No floating icon for active calls!! Seriously!! Do you know how next to impossible it is to get back to a call once I've moved on to the home screen or worse - the phone decides to sleep?? While I'm driving!! It is utterly RIDICULOUS that you don't have a floating icon on the screen in order to get back to an active call like every other modern, well thought out communications app does??? 4. The tiny hold button on the top of the screen changes to an add call button after it is pressed!! WTF?!?! If I want to put a call on hold and then take it back off hold WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE SCREEN I can't!!! Do you people actually use your app?!? Have you ever tried to deal with it when DRIVING?!?! Damn - this is amateur hour!! You have this HUGE EXPANSE OF UNUSED SCREEN during a call and you place little tiny buttons at the top THAT MOVE AROUND?!?!? You really are masochists!! 4. During a call, my cell phone rings - the native dialer now takes up the screen. When I answer the cell phone - my Zoiper call should have been put on hold - AUTOMATICALLY!!! But NO that didn't happen! Instead the damn thing hid itself making it IMPOSSIBLE for me to put my Zoiper call on hold, while driving in order that the other person didn't hear my private cellphone call!! Yes, they did hear my side of the cellphone call which I would REALLY preferred that they hadn't!!! Once the cell phone call was over, Zoiper decided to transition from my bluetooth system to the handset earpiece!! ARGH!! Are you kidding me?!?! Now, while driving I had to figure out how to get back to my Zoiper call without killing myself or someone else. I finally figured it out and what do I see? Zoiper thinks it is still on bluetooth! So - I selected speaker mode and then back to bluetooth and my still active call with a very patient person listening to me cussing the heck out of your software waited until I could hear them - but wait - there's more - when Zoiper transitioned back to my bluetooth system it cut the volume in half so I could barely hear the caller. Now, I need to adjust the volume now on my bluetooth system. Finally after jacking the bluetooth volume almost to the max I could hear my caller again!! 5. During a Zoiper call I have to jack the volume on my bluetooth system almost to the max - double what is needed for a native cell phone call. If I happen to touch the volume key on the phone (up or down) Zoiper cuts the volume in HALF instantly and I again have to jack the volume on the bluetooth system practically to the maximum. 6. If my phone is playing music to the in car bluetooth system and Zoiper rings - the music gets paused as it should - something that actually works. But of course - not properly. If I transition the Zoiper call from Bluetooth to earpiece or speaker and then back to bluetooth - the music keeps playing in the background and I have to find and pause it manually. 7. Think I'm done?? Nope - today I also discovered that Zoiper cannot deal with a VPN connection on the phone!! DAMN!! If I activate a VPN connection to my office I cannot make or receive any Zoiper calls. Well actually it seems I can place calls - just that nobody can hear me and I cannot hear them so obviously you're getting the media path all wrong!! Not easy to apply the features, limited customer support I need 24/7 support not to wait for email respond after 24hours. They still have lots to improve.
