The software is based at least partially on technology gained when 8x8 acquired Contactual in 2011; the Contactual OnDemand Contact Center was the earlier name of the platform.

Here are some specific scenarios where 8x8 Contact Center may be well-suited: Businesses that have a large number of incoming customer calls and want to improve call handling efficiency: 8x8 Contact Center includes features such as automatic call routing, call queuing, and call barging, which can help businesses handle a large volume of calls more efficiently.

Businesses that want to gather customer feedback and insights: 8x8 Contact Center includes features such as customer surveys and analytics tools, which can help businesses gather valuable feedback from their customers and understand how to improve their products and services. On the other hand, here are some scenarios where 8x8 Contact Center may be less appropriate: Businesses that do not have a high volume of incoming customer calls or interactions: 8x8 Contact Center is designed for businesses that need to manage a large volume of customer interactions, so it may not be cost-effective for businesses with low call volume. Businesses that do not have the resources to manage a cloud-based system: 8x8 Contact Center is a cloud-based solution, which means it requires an internet connection and may require technical expertise to set up and manage. Businesses with specific regulatory or compliance requirements: 8x8 Contact Center may not meet certain regulatory or compliance requirements for certain industries. It is important for businesses to carefully review the features and capabilities of the system to ensure it meets their specific needs.
With 2-party states, 8x8 does not give us an option to modify the recorded statement that alerts parties the call is being recorded. The one we could use tends to sound harsh to the second party, and tends to cause sales losses.
When they recently changed their admin panel UI, several things the old UI had available never made it across to the new platform.
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!!
As I said previously, Ameyo is a good tool however it has a long way to go compared to Avaya. The user interface can be improved a lot as they can use it as an app instead of completely web-based. Also, the reporting can be improved substantially and make the experience much better.
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.
Customer support also needs to improve for Ameyo. I am not saying it's bad however they need to support the users by customizing the reports as per the requirement of the user. They usually try to refer the user to videos or articles whereas the service for Avaya is that they show you a demo and not only that they customize the reports as per the business requirement
Detailed training and good quality to provide our customers to achieve their needs and to give the best we can as far as information and technology and the best service we can to have the customers be satisfied with the technology and the best quality to get the best answers to their doubts.
its was with the best quality and the best performance we could have as far as detailed information for us to get the best training on how to get used of 8*8 and provide the best quality and technology to provide to our customers when they need and made us fell comforatble in how to use it
8x8 had better pricing for our needs. 8x8 offered the features we needed without extras we did not. The overall onboarding process as demoed was smoother and provided more confidence in the product.
Avaya is very very good software. Most of the BPOs Contact Center's use them. They are very easy to use and don't use too much data also. Also, their user interface is very easy, especially for people who are not technically sound. The reports can be customized according to one's choice. I will recommend Ameyo's technical team look into it.
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.
