    FreepBX is a great product if you are able and willing to manage your own PBX system. It requires some know-how to set up but once running, it works very well. There is a large community that helps answer questions, but it isn't "plug and play" so you will need to be able to research and troubleshoot your own issues (or pay for support).

    GoContact is a good choice for medium and larger contact centers who deal with more than 2k calls per day for example. This software is a leader in managing Outbound Campaigns and it's easy to use. It's also suitable if you don't have a CRM and want to manage tickets and omnichannel customer service. If you just want an easy to use and easy to setup software and just making occasional outbound calls there's cheaper solutions.

    It works well, there isn't much more to say. You can get a free ($0) phone system packed with features, then if you need even more features then the cost is extremely cheap, and it works well. On top of this, you have complete freedom in the PBX to do as you wish, and debug and see everything

    Every user adapts quicky to the workspace and functionality but technically it should be easier to deal with the soft phone configuration. Team Leaders and Business Managers can get all the information they need to make decisions with a high level of usability. GoContact should think about bringing their software to an app version like their competition is doing.

    Their support was in fact an extension of my team since day 1 and helped us in a big way with training, set up and solving operational doubts and issues in a fast and truly interested way. Personally, I had an account manager 24/7 at my disposal without any additional charge or something. They also care about our business and provide tips so we can get better results.

    3CX may be slightly easier for a novice to use, but FreePBX completely beats it when you remove that factor. You can do anything you want, and debug and see everything. Now with AI its even easier to debug and learn how the PBX works if you hit an issue

    Since I was looking for a solution that allowed me to move about 50 door-to-door sellers to remote telemarketing work I needed a solution that was easy and fast to set up and to manage from a distance. GoContact is a leader in massive outbound solutions and very well recommended by people in my network.
