Avaya vs 3CX

Avaya 3CX Result
Pricing: Which Service
Fits Your Budget?
3 plans, and a “Create Your Own Plan” option. Prices depend on your needs and are revealed after a sales demo. Avaya doesn’t offer a trial version. Offers 3 plans. Costs range between $150 and $270 annually. 3CX does not offer monthly billing. 3CX also offers free forever and 1-year free plans. Pricing winner 3CX
Although we can’t compare the monthly costs of the two software, 3CX wins this round: unlike Avaya, it offers a free trial version and can be used free forever for up to 10 users.
Features: Which Phone System
Powers Your Team Better?
30+ features, including biometric authentication and voice-to-text, and you can connect the software with the most popular CRM and Messaging tools. But, we were disappointed to find that Avaya doesn’t offer auto-dialers. 40+ features. 3CX’s biggest draw is the freedom of choice it offers – users can choose the hardware they use and whether they want to host the VoIP themselves or not. The platform also has great video conferencing capabilities.  Features winner 3CX
3CX offers more features and integrations than Avaya, making it a better option for bigger businesses.
Customer Satisfaction: Which
Service Has the Happiest Customers?
Scored 4.4 / 5 on Capterra (67 reviews) and 4.1 / 5 on G2 (163 reviews). Customers love the user-friendly experience and the quality of calls. However, users claim that the Avaya software tends to be slow and the reporting is basic. Scored 4.5 / 5 on Capterra (254 reviews) and reached a 4.4 out of 5 rating on G2 (386 reviews). Customers see 3CX as an overall great solution. The only notable issues included a glitchy mobile app and confusing UI Customer Satisfaction winner 3CX
According to customer reviews on G2 and Capterra, 3CX is a better solution in terms of functionality and audio quality.

G2 Reviews proof

The transition to CloudTalk was super smooth. Actually, agent productivity grew by 10% just as a direct result of the switch. We thought our sales team couldn’t handle more than 15 daily leads, but this year, on some days, they took care of 30 and even won more deals.
Franco Viale LeyvaHead of Commercial Performance at Poliglota
Our call volume tripled in only 2 years. Today, our agents get around 100,000 calls per quarter versus 30,000 back in 2020. With CloudTalk, we can now handle all of this communication easily. It was an excellent choice.
Frederico LopesHead of Customer Service at DiscoverCars
CloudTalk has grown on us from the very first moment. It’s a part of our daily workflow. Everyone in the company finds uses for it. From sales to support or onboarding. Without CloudTalk, we wouldn’t provide such outstanding service.
