Likelihood to Recommend 8x8 Contact Center has made my Care Center run much more efficiently. It is a move that I wish we had made many years ago. There have not been any days that we have had a disruption in service and the quality of the calls are always perfect.
Read full review Cloudtalk is by far the best value-for-price software out there for call center solutions. Packed with features, very accessible, kind and accessible customer support, and cheap, especially when compared with their competitors for the same range of features. Easy entry-level software, especially if you're a startup that doesn't want to make big initial commitments but needs a solution that scales with the business.
Read full review Pros Tracks all inbound and outbound calls from our organization. Gives us the ability to record and review calls. Gives the user the ability to receive phone call either via computer, cell phone, or polycom phone when in-house - all received from the same static number/extension. Read full review It's extremely simple to install and integrate Their smart dialer option reduces time spent typing in number and helps make more calls It makes life super easy to keep track of calls being made and how long calls are but also to listen back on calls made Read full review Cons Post-sale support through the online ticket system is painfully slow. It's hard to get in contact with people for license help and understanding why phone numbers are not properly distributed in your account. i.e. Our account has 48 free local numbers and we had to purchase 120 additional numbers. But for some reason only 25 of the 48 free numbers are being utilized, and there's no good way in the Admin UI to see which numbers are which, or reallocate paid numbers into those 'free' slots. The system has bugs which pop up from time to time such as when a user uses the 'Do Not Disturb' option in their app or on their phone - it does not always turn off on the back-end of the system, even though the phone or app shows the user as available. This causes inbound phone calls to be routed directly to Voicemail, and the only notice the user has is when someone reaches out by other means to say "Why is your phone going directly to voicemail?" - which initiates a service ticket for IT who cannot see this in the admin center. And unless 'flipping' DND on then off again fixes it, it requires a ticket with 8x8 which is, as mentioned before, slow. Read full review A lot of features are still missing, some of which are pretty basic like being able to select multiple filters instead of one. Desktop app has had some instability issue. IVR needs to be self-recorded which can lead to a lower quality. Read full review Likelihood to Renew I really love using this product it has made my job easier to preform my daily tasks.

Read full review Usability The system is flexible, adaptable and easy to use and research. Once again the reporting is fantastic and gives up the information we need to be successful and even make changes or tweaks. The 8x8 Contact Center team is there to assist with questions when needed or to help get through an issue. Charlie Knutson is the best!!
Read full review CloudTalk is super easy to use and has a great quality. It helps to communicate with the clients easily and we can feel that the sound quality is high, while speaking to the client and while listening to the recordings. This is for our department essential in our day to day work.

Read full review Support Rating The initial live support person seems to be just collecting information and is outsourced. Sometimes it is difficult to communicate with them, but going through this process gets me to the right person and having my support ticket opened in order. It's usually very smooth thereafter.
Read full review They are skilled, experienced, and anytime I need something and contact the support time, I get the right person who understands my needs and reacts to them accordingly. So far I was only pleasantly surprised by the level of support these guys provide and coming from a customer service oriented background myself, I can only say keep it up guys, you are doing a fantastic job!

Read full review Implementation Rating It was extremely easy
Read full review Alternatives Considered Vonage was priced right on the install but escalated as the year went on and by the end of the second year, they had lost the edge they had over many other companies and forced a change by me. We had to work with a single account manager and that was hard when things went wrong on the system. The downtime was minimal with them also.
Read full review It was a gamble if I'm being honest, plus this is a very nuanced and intricate topic. We didn't necessarily substitute one for the other, it was a much needed state of affairs where we needed the call monitoring and agent tracking pros of CloudTalk more so than ever before.
Read full review Contract Terms and Pricing Model It is pretty much "Par for the course" with the options out there with other vendors.
Read full review Scalability It was implemented across the board in the company and has worked perfectly
Read full review Return on Investment The ROI for us is measured more within the CSAT and NPS score increase we have seen thus far, both scores have gone up significantly since we have streamlined our process with 8X8. We are now focusing our attention on retention with the hopes of seeing a second wave of ROI with 8X8. Read full review For a similar price it is not necessary to manage so many cell phone accounts Unlike basic telephony. It is possible to have more control of the interactions with our clients. For administrators it allows better control of commercial actions or the corresponding area for communication issues Read full review ScreenShots
