8x8 Inc.
Any organisation that has a customer-facing call center should seriously consider 8x8 as a solution. It is cost-effective and competitive on pricing, their customer service has been very responsive and knowledgeable, and the integration was seamless. It is suited to any areas where a centralised and unified call center solution is required, in particular, being able to refer to all customer data interactions. Call data analysis is also incredibly helpful.

NICE CXone Mpower offers a great suite of products and tools appropriate for contact centers. It is a one stop shop for all of the monitoring, scheduling, reporting, and quality tools a large or small contact center may need. It is very feature rich and has many components, some of which we haven't even grown to adopt yet but may in the near future.

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.

  • Easy to share an interaction within the company for others to review
  • Keeps everyone on track with scheduled lunches/breaks/meetings so you don't have to remember yourself and never miss another event again!

Cons
8x8 Inc.
  • Support has always been a less than stellar area.
  • There's a few feature gaps that have been called out for years that haven't been addressed yet. I.e. passing calls from UC to CC requires a phone number (like why?)
  • Another frequent complaint I get is "why can't I just completely shut off a user's voicemail". You can fiddle with call forwarding rules, but sooner or later, an errant call finds a way to end up there.

  • There can be changes in interface of the app, however it's still very good

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.

Nice made it possible for employees to work from anywhere with access to the internet, it made it possible to extract data from contacts in a very thorough way. In addition, the meticaes can be fully customized and the day-to-day monitoring of the operation is more visible.With nice, contacts with clients abroad became easier.

Usability
8x8 Inc.
It is very easy to use; some features that I don't frequently use but still occasionally need to rely on can be hard to find simply because my memory is poor. Once you get in the swing of it, however, the user interface is very straightforward and can be easily used by employees across a range of technical literacy levels.

The lack of written SOPs makes some features (WFM / Performance management) very difficult to use. The training provided by NICE is extensive, but it's hard to remember everything shared in the hour. We spend so much time on the platform just trying to figure out how to use the features; it would be much easier with written instructions and screenshots.

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.

inContact only allows specific users to contact them for support. Even though I use the product daily and it accounts for a large amount of my workload, I still have to contact an authorized user to create an incident. These users are managers and their schedules are very busy. This can result in delays in incidents being opened and resolved.

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,

We love the use of our new tools. However, NICE staff turnover was frustrating. We lost ground each time a new team took over. Some people were good some were not as much. Some people did great training while others were not as helpful

Alternatives Considered

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.

When it comes to this specific situation (cell centers) NICE definitely has an ADP beat. The analytics, scheduling, and forecasts are extremely well-tailored for this situation. ADP has a more comprehensive solution in my opinion - I feel their UI and mobile app are also more user-friendly. But in terms of performance management functionality, NICE has a more robust system and is able to create additional metrics if we need them When I used ADP there were no custom options available.

Return on Investment
8x8 Inc.
  • The callback queue was a big thing for a while. Still is to a point but we would have MANY duplicate callbacks & it was frustrating to both the customer & the agent.
  • Support is my biggest negative for 8x8 Contact Center. Being able to communicate with someone is essential yet having MANY support agents have a language barrier has made it difficult on both ends to get things addressed/taken care of. Being able to follow the requests of the ticket is a big one as well. I talked about both of these points before, but if I request to communicate via email 9/10 times, I am being called to talk about the problem when it could have been an email. They also request information MANY many times that seems to be useless when I have provided what I think to be all the necessary information. It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. It has been a little bit since I have had to put anything in for support the last one I did it was substantially better so hopefully that continues.
  • Being able to work solely on 8x8 work or 8x8 Contact Center would be a HUGE plus for agents & IT. I see other platforms that are able to do this, if 8x8 was able to do this it would make it 100x better for us so we don't have to work out of two things for an agent to be able to work.
  • The last thing is the plans. Not offering an unlimited talking plan to me seems very weird. What we are paying for & the amount of minutes that agents are using doesn't make a lot of sense on a billing standpoint. Offering better pricing/unlimited plans for enterprise like other companies would be a HUGE plus as well.
