User Testimonials
8x8 Contact Centerbabelforce
Likelihood to Recommend
We spend a lot of time calling insurance companies to check claim status, verify benefits, or fix denials. 8x8 is great for handling high call volume days when our team is making and receiving a ton of those calls. The call routing makes sure insurance calls go to our billing reps and patient calls go to the right team, so things don’t get mixed up. If we’re doing a compliance review or responding to an insurance dispute and need a specific recorded call from months ago, it can take some digging to find it unless we have exact details. It’s not impossible, just not super quick

Pros
  • Tracks all inbound and outbound calls from our organization.
  • Gives us the ability to record and review calls.
  • Gives the user the ability to receive phone call either via computer, cell phone, or polycom phone when in-house - all received from the same static number/extension.

Cons
  • Overall support, being able to get ahold of someone faster/someone that is able to communicate with us easier in terms of language barriers. As well as following what is requested in the support ticket, for example, I submit tickets asking to communicate via email yet 9/10 times I get called to discuss my ticket or to get told to submit information that is already in the ticket... this has improved recently but still plenty of room for improvement.
  • Callback queues. Being able to view the overall queue & not allow duplicates of a callback. For example, someone calls in, requests a callback, then calls back in again & requests for another one or two or three, limiting them to just one callback in that queue.
  • Being able to see overall queues & the numbers in both the regular queues & callback queues would be helpful as well.
  • Being able to do away with 8x8 Contact Center work entirely. Integrating it into Teams is a good thing I saw 8x8 do fairly recently, but being able to use 8x8 Contact Center as the just web version would be a huge plus.

8 x 8 is not an ordinary system, it works well for everyday business and assists in working efficiencies. So much is required for credentialing and re-credentialing. 8 x 8 takes out a lot of the extra steps by providing smarter working features that saves time and money. Also, when faxing, once the fax is complete, you receive an actual confirmation! Absolutely love this feature.

Incredibly simple to use the platform - clear, insightful, and impactful dashboards and access to relevant call metrics. GUI is nice and easy to read and interact with. It is clear to see that UX has been tested thoroughly. Internal feedback has been positive on its usability and ease of access. UI is very intuitive.

Support Rating
Charlie Knutson is fantastic, however when you call the support number it is almost impossible to get through and when you do they cannot fix your issue. That is the biggest challenge. It is a difference between that and reaching our contact directly. The email support number that our company was given is very responsive and good.

Online Training
The training was easy but would probably be much easier in person. Easier to ask questions and show someone your computer when you are in person. Easier to differentiate between network issues and 8x8 issues. Online works too but for how technical 8x8 can be, I would recommend you try and do in person if possible. Would make it much easier to get help when needed. This is a personal preference and not something that is required by any means. The online training is still great and still did the trick. The good thing is that help is always available months or years after if there is something new you want to do

The transition from Mitel to 8 x 8 was smooth and no "hiccups". The support was one of the best that we had received. No surprises except what 8 x 8 is actually capable of doing! Support remained available throughout the transition! Co-workers were amazed at what they were able to do with having 8 x 8,

There was almost no comparison between 8x8 and MiCloud Connect. As a previous MiTel customer, the most frustrating part of their platform was the inability to configure our own contact center scripts and IVRs. Having to submit a case for every little change was a terrible setup for any business, in my opinion. RingCentral was fairly comparable to 8x8 in features and analytics, but 8x8 provided a much more cost-effective solution, and the quality has been great.

Return on Investment
  • Not having to worry about maintaining CCaaS infrastructure is a big ROI
  • For small business, the ROI may not be there - might still be better off with a local PBX (KSU) and a few POTS trunks from the cable company.
  • Never having to worry about upgrading software.
