3CX o ers four versions, and within each version there are many options and packaged choices. But in each case, the pound for pound, 3CX’s comparative price is very competitive and indeed typically less than many other lateral alternatives. 3CX o ers a cloud deployment option as well, plus 3CX has migration paths that allow its customers to easily move from model to model as their business needs evolve.
I have always maintained that no one knows their network better than our reader knows their own. Every company our readers work for is di erent and unique, from the incumbent
network, to the industry and people that
the network serves, to the trajectory of the company itself. No one solution is the best for every situation. But 3CX o ers a tremendous amount of choice, exibility, features and
value for the money. No platform is cost free a er installation, but 3CX cost of ownership is very competitive, especially given that there is typically a partner and 3CX itself to look to for support when needed. Because the system is simple to manage, and because it uses Windows, and now Linux, meaning there’s basically no real “learning curve”, and with the use of simple technologies such as WebRTC, 3CX delivers
a platform that is easy to manage and easy for the actual end users to run. Just as technology and choice eventually overran that old kitchen phone, this coming year as many readers migrate from aging legacy gear, they will want to look to vendors with that right balance of technology, choice and value. ■
