3CX Platinum Distributor · UAE & GCC

Every 3CX feature, edition by edition

All 77 features 3CX publish, across the five editions, in one table you can search. Licensing is by simultaneous calls, not per user, so the edition decides what the system can do and the call count decides how many people can be on it at once.
