I am trying to migrate a customer from Windows to Linux for performance reasons, but we're hitting a problem:

NTFS-3G does not exist in 3CX repos. This is a major issue.

We need to be able to mount NTFS disks, as they were created in Windows.

We tried FUSE but doesn't work either.

Can we get NTFS-3G in the repo please?
 
For now and maybe for your problem, it helps to download and install the required Debian libraries directly:
Bash:
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/n/ntfs-3g/libntfs-3g89_2022.10.3-1+deb12u2_amd64.deb
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fuse3/libfuse3-3_3.14.0-4_amd64.deb
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fuse3/fuse3_3.14.0-4_amd64.deb
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/n/ntfs-3g/ntfs-3g_2022.10.3-1+deb12u2_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libntfs-3g89_2022.10.3-1+deb12u2_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libfuse3-3_3.14.0-4_amd64.deb
dpkg -i fuse3_3.14.0-4_amd64.deb
dpkg -i ntfs-3g_2022.10.3-1+deb12u2_amd64.deb

But this is unsupported by 3CX and not a permanent solution. The packages are not updated automatically (which could pose a security issue), and subsequent 3CX upgrades may fail or at least cause problems.
