IMO, 8x8 is great in the mid-market space. Contact Centers with 25-1000 seats. Is it perfect? No, but none of them are (Ring, Nice, Five9, Talk) they're all going to have their defects. If you're a small or micro business, I don't know if If 8x8 is the place to be. Functionally, it will work fine, but the ROI isn't good for that sized org. And, you want get the support the same way the Mid and Enterprise customers will. Another things to consider is integrations - of which, 8x8 has many. Integrations and APIs is an areas where I have really seen 8x8 making a big push in the last few years. They have a powerful CPaaS product too, but I've not used it enough to be qualified to comment on it (yet).

A software that I highly recommend. We all managed to learn how to use it and in a short time we were already increasing the number of daily calls handled. Customers also increased and the performance of the agents increased by 100%, and that is why we did not change our call software.

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.

  • It is very useful; all the information that throws in detailed reports, management, and performance of the trainee staff, as we can notice their failures and correct them.
  • A very easy to use software, it is very intuitive and dynamic, which makes the learning curve is fast.
  • It also serves to monitor the activities of the staff already working and closely supervise the work of all agents: remote and local.

Cons
8x8, Inc.
  • 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.

8x8's contact center provides us with the functionality and capabilities we desire. Leaders have the ability to measure, guide, and improve the performance of our service representatives. They also have the ability to make necessary changes based on call volumes and workloads. Our service representatives have the tools required to resolve callers' needs more effectively. The administration tools available help us self-service our needs and resolve issues.

Support Rating
8x8, Inc.
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.

If I have an issue with the interface between Salesforce.com and Dialsource, usually the Support team is reaching out to me to let me know the connection between the two programs has been altered or disconnected before I even get a chance to realize it myself.

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,

I would say they are all very comparable. The one advantage to the Spectrum Enterprise OnDemand would be that it has it own internet bandwidth, so it doesn't eat into our overall internet usage bandwidth. It is however more expensive than 8x8. Poly Series just didn't have the flexibility and extensive features offered by 8x8, and therefore was not an acceptable replacement.
