Generally appropriate for contact centers of 50 or more, though ROI may be present with as few as 20. ROI can be achieved in back office settings as well. Without add on features, the ROI may not be as easily demonstrated in a back office scenario.

Cons

The initial live support person can sometimes be difficult to communicate with. However, they will take down your key problems and escalate it to the right person to deal with your issues.
Better online chat support. The online chat seems to be limited to a bot to direct to their FAQ or to assist in opening a ticket only. The ability to schedule a chat online instead of calls would help.

Long term forecasting functionality.
The user interface requires more steps than competitors. While the end results are quality, it can take time to get there.
Lack of clearly demonstrated forecasting designed specifically for non-phone contact types.

Usability

8x8 Contact Center 8.0

Based on 16 answers

It works like a phone on your computer, on your desk phone with a lot more options on the desk phone. It has very high-quality voice and sound. It supports direct text and allows a lot of versatility in the application so you can take it with you anywhere you go and turn it off or on as your needs change.

8x8 Contact Center 7.0

Based on 50 answers

The agents took ownership and solved the problem. Restating and clarifying everything I said kept 8x8 from getting a "10" here. Despite the agents restating and clarifying too much, the senior technicians know what they are doing! They kept digging and digging until they found the problem, fixed it, and (most importantly) tested it before ending the call. This is not consistent with call center industry standards as most agents with other firms "fix" a problem and hang up. We don't learn how bad the "fix" was until later.

Alternatives Considered

8x8 came out on top in each of the 30 criteria on our evaluation scorecard except for the cost and length of storage of recording recordings. The other products offer free recording, while 8x8 charges $21 per user per month and only retains recordings for 10 days.

Superior to Verint in its agent self-service options and the ability to get more detailed schedule activity. Strongly compares with aspect. Specific features that work for a given business will separate the best choice.

Return on Investment

The negative impact is that when a phone or other device stops working, we are simply out a phone and have to order a new one.
A negative impact is how short the phone warranty is.
A positive impact is the new "rent-a-phone" feature, which allows for a monthly rental rather than the full purchase of the phones.
