[24]7 Assist vs. 8x8 Contact Center

It is well suited to companies who have large numbers of Inbound-Outbound call traffic. And where the number of agents handling such calls is very large (>10,000). For companies having less call traffic, this solution won't be cost-effective. Also, it is appropriate for companies looking to improve their CSAT score.

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.

• The User Interface can be improved & made to look much more contemporary & next-gen
• Implementation can be made more simpler
• Training & Troubleshooting knowledge transfer can be improved

• 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.

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!!

The only issue I have ran across was on getting the updated new version

Yes everything loads quickly and its ready for use

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.

[24]7 Assist offers better value for money & much higher level of customization as compared to other solutions. The AI feature works well & the integration with existing CRM is very smooth. Unified desktop interactions for chat & multiple channel messaging are very effective features of the solution & enable agent interaction much more fructified.

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.

It is pretty much "Par for the course" with the options out there with other vendors.

It was implemented across the board in the company and has worked perfectly

Incentivized

• Improved CSAT score
• Operating cost saving up to 30%
• Better Customer engagement & 20% more lead conversion

Incentivized

• 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.
