    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

    Bright Pattern has been fantastic in allowing us to automate voice and chat contacts, and we're currently building out scenarios that will allow us to automate even more. It's super simple to collect data from customers, and using some API calls provides the answers they're looking for without a human needing to get involved. There is less functionality currently for emails. Emails can be routed to queues based on keywords, and auto-replies can be sent, but it's pretty basic functionality. We'd love to see some of the enhanced capabilities offered in voice and chat scenarios for email.

    Pros
    8x8 Inc.
    • The out of the box chat feature is outstanding for your website. My team was able to adopt chat easily.
    • Setting up the system with the help of an integrator was especially easy and did not require any IT training on my part.
    • The visibility of being able to manage my team and all media channels in one panel is awesome.

    Cons
    8x8 Inc.
    • Campaigns is a big one. That has been our main pain point with the 8x8 VCC.
    • AMD+Auto Voicemail is a feature not available today.
    • Customizations like changing a campaign's caller ID based on a CRM field do not allow teams to create more efficient flows.
    • Time zone dialing is limited to the phone area code, not the physical location (address), which is undesirable.

    • That they had a text and voice analysis module Que tuvieran un modulo de analisis de texto y voz
    • Customized agent interface with company logos. Interfaz de agente personalizada con logos de la empresa
    • The softphone, when entering multiple interactions, causes the advisors to become confused when they have several. It should be less complex and more adaptable.

    8x8 contact center is meeting our needs as a call center communication solution. We use 8x8 across the entire organization and have been able to work with our account management team to ensure our configuration and integrations meet our business, legal & compliance needs across the organization. The greatest benefit has been the 8x8 account management team who consistently works with us to ensure our needs are being met.

    Usability
    8x8 Inc.
    Overall, the 8x8 contact center's functionality is great! As the administrator for our practice, I find the platform extremely easy to navigate and customize for our business needs, which are constantly changing and evolving. I find the analytics very easy to use overall. It is fairly quick and easy to find call recordings when needed, and the reporting can transition between a 30,000-foot view and an extremely granular view.

    It's pretty simple for agents to pick up quickly, it takes a bit longer for supervisors to get familiar with. QA tools are pretty barebones but functional enough. It can be as simple or complex as you need it to be, if you spend some time configuring the settings or working with Bright Pattern's support team to build out what you need.

    It is always on. The only outage to date that I have experienced was with an upstream telco provider a few years ago. The inbound leg telco was hit by a DDOS attack which led to delays in routing calls to the platform. This was not the fault of the Bright Pattern platform but the telco provider. We have had a few minor carrier issues with call quality, or a handful of brief drops, but Bright Pattern is quick to identify these and change carriers when it starts to happen.

    8x8 Inc.
    Support is subpar, any time there was an issue they would ignore the preferred means of communication & would not respond to the ticket aside from that they called instead of emailed. They also are not based out of the US so hours are vastly different than typical working hours. They were able to help in some cases but a lot of them were "that's how it is" responses & just overall not a great experience

    In-person and virtual training was great, but Bright Pattern could use some online training videos similar to other platforms. I would welcome online training videos to keep the steady flow of new agents up to date. Admin training is one of the largest areas that need video. The static documentation is great. It is pretty easy to follow and configure your contact center as you progress through each step. The documentation is available online on an easy to use knowledgebase or wiki style site. You do not need a user account to access the help docs, meaning that users at any level can freely access the materials to learn about the platform.

    Online Training
    8x8 Inc.
    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

    Online training is documentation based only. It is thorough and step by step, but no videos. It would also be helpful to have more information within the help docs on custom reporting. I find that many of the Bright Pattern specific configurations for the Jasper Reporting Server have to be "stumbled" across through existing report templates and they are not clearly listed out somewhere. In person training will not generally go into great depth on report customizations.

    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!

    As an implementor, I have found the Bright Pattern Contact Center very easy to work with. The platform operates in the manner which I think. Therefore, everything I do seems logical and works exactly as expected. Many solutions are much more difficult to work with and make implementations difficult

    Fuze is somewhat dated and clunky when it comes to configuring settings. 8x8 Contact Center design and settings is more clean and easier to amend. Fuze includes an all in one softphone system, which is an additional component for 8x8. RingCentral seems somewhat pricier when comparing the different offerings, although they may have more features.

    As a contact centre technology vendor we have experience of many different contact centre platforms. We chose Bright Pattern Contact Center because its the best omni-channel contact centre we've ever seen, it's incredibly reliable, its hosted in-country, it has the Microsoft integrations many of our customers want, we can integrate with virtually any CRM or ITSM system and the platform offers a vast feature set.

    • 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.
