Likelihood to Recommend 8x8 Contact Center has made my Care Center run much more efficiently. It is a move that I wish we had made many years ago. There have not been any days that we have had a disruption in service and the quality of the calls are always perfect.
Read full review We switched from Comcast years ago and haven't looked back. Nextiva has been an excellent choice for us. There has been minimal downtime, an easy-to-configure website, and fantastic live chat customer support. This product is easy to use if you need a VOIP call center system to manage users and how calls are routed. We recommend it!
Read full review 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. Read full review Make onboarding easy and back it up with support. This lead to no service downtime for our customers while we transitioned. Make their software very intuitive and user friendly while providing a good knowledgebase if you need a refresh or get stuck figuring something out on your own as I like to do. Being very friendly and attentive when questions were being asked for needs we had. Read full review Cons 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. Read full review Only complaint is when you try to use the online assistant, it can take a while to get to you but it's not really been that bad and if I can't wait, I will just call and get them right away.

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!!
Read full review Nextiva Business Phone Service system is very usable. We have desk phones, that were included at no cost. The function just as one would expect from an office phone system. I can also answer my calls from my PC and even on my cell phone if I have to leave the office.

Read full review We have not yet experienced any issues the Nextiva Business Phone Service availability. It has always worked as needed.
Read full review Performance Yes everything loads quickly and its ready for use
Read full review Nextiva Business Phone Service performance is great. The call quality is much better than our old analog land lines at a fraction of the cost.
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review Support is great. We usually get someone on the phone; they answer our questions and help us with our issues. They are responsive when we call, and there is also a wealth of information on their online help center, which will typically answer our question or send us in the right direction.

Read full review Implementation Rating It was extremely easy
Read full review Nextiva Business Phone Service assigned an on-boarding team to help me implement the phone system. They asked me a few question about how we would be using the system and set everything to meet our implementation. They also took care of porting our phone number from our previous phone company so we could still use them with Nextiva Business Phone Service. The process was fast and painless.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Vonage was priced right on the install but escalated as the year went on and by the end of the second year, they had lost the edge they had over many other companies and forced a change by me. We had to work with a single account manager and that was hard when things went wrong on the system. The downtime was minimal with them also.
Read full review Nextiva blows RingCentral out of the water in three areas for us: 1) Customer service 2) Customer service 3) Customer service. This is so important. It was nearly impossible for us to get in contact with our account manager at RingCentral after the sale. I have it documented that the fastest response from him was 5 days, the longest 38 days. Our phones never worked like we liked them too and RingCentral support always had long wait times and tech support agents that couldn't really fix the issues. Actual phone call quality was the same between the two, but in our world customer service counts!
Read full review Contract Terms and Pricing Model It is pretty much "Par for the course" with the options out there with other vendors.
Read full review Scalability It was implemented across the board in the company and has worked perfectly
Read full review We have not yet needed top scale up our phone system yet, but I can tell that it will be very quick and effortless to do so when the need arises.
Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review ROI - we are saving money, a lot of money, and we have a MUCH better phone system Consolidation - we migrated 6 different phone systems in 6 different counties into one, and it's been wonderful! Management - managing this system is so much better than Mitel, Panasonic, and any other system I have used. We are able to assign rights to certain staff to also make changes, and it's user friendly and almost fool proof. Read full review ScreenShots
