8x8 Contact Center vs CrazyCall

• 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.

• The menu options in the interactive voice response function are very efficient and necessary for the fluidity of communication with customers. The best thing is that the customer can access this menu from their phone.
• We love that it is a multi-channel platform, that allows us to be aware of the demands of our customers on all digital platforms.
• It allows us to make recordings of incoming and outgoing calls to get more details of our customer's needs.

• 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.

• Inbound call functionally is still limited and not something that my team utilizes.
• The reporting features for the some of the lower pricing tiers are very limited.
• Downloading reports from the cloud can be quite slow at times.

• 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.

• Our sales team is making more calls and the calls have improved in quality....this is leading to more customer interactions.
• Our customer service has improved with the call recording. We are able to go back and listen to issues and customize our responses based on the recordings.
• Managers are better able to identify sales members who are consistently meeting their call targets. This has improved our goal-setting and reward system.
