8x8 X Series Review
- Connection is always so good everywhere.
- Simple and up-to-date interface on phone and PC.
- SMS MMS works beautifully (maybe details on reception for automated systems, but great overall).
- The fax system is awesome.
- The app works even if it's not updated.
- Activation of SMS should have a faster verification process.
- I should be able to put a limit on recorded calls and stop recording when storage is full.
- The capacity to listen to received audio and videos on the app would be great.

8X8 Review
- Voicemail messages to email.

- Ease of transferring calls and picking up other desk calls.
- We do not use a lot of the capabilites that 8X8 has at this time so we are limitied in what we can speak on.

- When on a cell phone call and a call comes in from 8x8 X Series. It does not allow you to transfer the call.

A systematic review of 8x8 X series
- Traning content helps if got stuck somewhere
- 8x8 Ui is user freindly ,thus navigaion becomes easy
- At this point, getting connected to actual agent/executive is difficult as vitual agent is not able to answer queries properly
- Introduce AI technology soon
Using 8x8 at a remote place where is poor internet, it would be very difficult to use
- Automatically routes incoming calls to the available agent with the appropriate skills, ensuring that customers are served promptly.
- Integrates with email systems to provide a unified view of customer interactions.
- Allows sales representatives to share their screens with customers and prospects, demonstrating products and services effectively.
- The mobile app for 8x8 X Series could offer a more comprehensive and feature-rich experience.
- 8x8 X Series should continuously enhance its security measures to protect user data and privacy.
8x8 X Series a good VoIP system
- User Management
- 8x8 Work App
- Technical Support
- eFaxing
- API Integration
- Paging
Where 8x8 falls short is in it's overall feature set. There are areas such as voice mail storage, eFaxing and spam/robo calls where I think they could do better.

8x8 is GREAT!
- Caller ID - I never miss a call with the caller ID of all incoming calls
- Faxing- documents that need to be sent right away
- Voicemail- calls do not get cut off - voicemail is detailed to accommodate the longest message
- Have a function that when on Do Not Disturb when in a group to have direct calls go through for the extension
