Overall Satisfaction with 8x8 Contact Center

We are a small nonprofit and used the 8x8 Contact Center as our intake line. Our agency would get up to 15 calls on average per day. We only had up to 3 users in the 8x8 Contact Center. We would log into the 8x8 Contact Center each morning and mark ourselves as "available". We had the 8x8 Contact Center set up in a way that evenly distributed calls to the people logged in. I would not recommend this format for small organizations. In my opinion, the 8x8 Contact Center seems to be designed for larger organizations with many different queues. We only used the 8x8 Contact Center for 1 queue because all calls ended up routed to 3 people. In my experience, it was too complex for the simple function we needed it for.
  • distributing calls
  • ability to change availability status
  • tracking calls per queue
  • wish we could have gotten details about a call sitting in a queue by clicking the number
  • in my experience, wasn't compatible with all browsers
  • wasn't able to use the contact center on my phone
  • computer and mobile app
  • texting capability
  • conference calls
  • organize incoming calls
  • evenly distribute incoming calls
  • able to use personal phone while having different number through 8x8 Contact Center

Would you buy 8x8 Contact Center again?

No

We had a vision that our agency would route specific calls into specific queues and designated staff would be assigned to different queues. For the short time that we were doing this, it worked great. We quickly switched to a different format. We routed all calls to one queue and 2-3 staff members were responsible for this 1 queue. In my experience, it was easier to just set up a ring group for the agencies main line and split calls evenly.
