## Reviews

### "Seamless and efficient PBX software" — 5.0/5

> **Josh** | *15 December 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Extremely easy to setup and deploy with a huge range of handset options. Just can't be it for all your pbx needs.
> 
> **Cons**: Not that much at all. If I had to say something I would say the licencing should maybe have more options for smaller business deployments.
> 
> Seamless and efficient. Massive time saver for admin and users alike. Gives anyone the enterprise business phone system approach without the huge costs.

### "3cx admin experience" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *25 September 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Fairly straightforward Gui and administration, has good reporting functionality, and having the app access for multi-device calling.
> 
> **Cons**: The admin permissions options aren't amazing, and isn't convenient to assign access to other ICT staff.&#10;Since we have multiple sites and don't want to appear in each team, I need to use my supervisors account which has owner level access.&#10;Also the Voicemail pin breaks and has issues, we have needed to disable the pin entirely as there is too much IT requests relating to their pin no longer working.
> 
> Its been good, it gets the job done in an easily administrative way. only real suggestions would be make the Privileged access a bit better.&#10;Also it would be good to be able to export/import peoples contact sheets, we have local-site admin staff whom make their own contact sheets, but we are unable to share or implement them.

-----

### "Great Communication Tool" — 5.0/5

> **Linze** | *20 November 2024* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use navigation and user-friendly interface. Finding contacts from company team is simple.
> 
> **Cons**: Not many cons, sometimes when connected to mobile data instead of work wifi the connection is unstable. Other than that very satisfied.

-----

### "3CX Review" — 5.0/5

### "Flexible and efficient tool" — 5.0/5

> **Justine** | *17 June 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Extremely efficient and user-friendly. Quite easy to set up, self-hosted or with their cloud services.
