8x8 Contact Center
8x8 Contact Center is perfect for call center management and tracking. Being able to search for calls that were taken as well as quality reviewing. The flexibility of needing to change a queue or make instant adjustments as needed. The reporting is very easy and it can be downloaded into excel for sharing and analyzing.

I think that Acarda is a fantastic tool for any company that is perhaps not selling software, not offering technical support, has minimal technical needs internally, and wants a tool that just works well. We have had issues with support and dropped calls from other outbound and VOIP systems, Acarda was a really solid platform. I would imagine that the average Sales, Billing and Support Team of a small business or StartUp would find a lot to love here.

8x8 Contact Center
- The initial live support person can sometimes be difficult to communicate with. However, they will take down your key problems and escalate it to the right person to deal with your issues.
- Better online chat support. The online chat seems to be limited to a bot to direct to their FAQ or to assist in opening a ticket only. The ability to schedule a chat online instead of calls would help.

- Lacked the level of integrations we needed with other software.
- That's it. It was great otherwise.

It works like a phone on your computer, on your desk phone with a lot more options on the desk phone. It has very high-quality voice and sound. It supports direct text and allows a lot of versatility in the application so you can take it with you anywhere you go and turn it off or on as your needs change.

The agents took ownership and solved the problem. Restating and clarifying everything I said kept 8x8 from getting a "10" here. Despite the agents restating and clarifying too much, the senior technicians know what they are doing! They kept digging and digging until they found the problem, fixed it, and (most importantly) tested it before ending the call. This is not consistent with call center industry standards as most agents with other firms "fix" a problem and hang up. We don't learn how bad the "fix" was until later.

8x8 came out on top in each of the 30 criteria on our evaluation scorecard except for the cost and length of storage of recording recordings. The other products offer free recording, while 8x8 charges $21 per user per month and only retains recordings for 10 days.

I am not super familiar with the competitors because we moved away from this style of support soon after adopting Acarda, but I had no complaints while using it.

- The negative impact is that when a phone or other device stops working, we are simply out a phone and have to order a new one.
- A negative impact is how short the phone warranty is.
- A positive impact is the new "rent-a-phone" feature, which allows for a monthly rental rather than the full purchase of the phones.
