8x8 Contact Center vs Presence Inbound

Likelihood to Recommend

We have had nothing but positives when dealing with 8X8, our relationship was set up for success right from the get-go. We explained our specific needs and our sales team was able to cater to the needs we shared. While we did have a few bumps along the way, they remained a partner in making sure we received what we needed to be successful. Without getting into the "weeds" we were able to fine-tune our 8X8 experience to match the needs we had as a company, all while focusing on the needs of our associates. The communications were on point and our development, implementation, and now, support has been consistently stellar.

Screen recording and call monitoring are great features and on the other hand, workforce management solutions would be avery nice to have. Also scripting is very easy to use and configuring a campaign script takes only [a few] minutes depending on how complex the script is of course.

Pros

Cleaner workspace with organization and efficiency at the forefront of our associates day.
Better reporting, making the process of coaching and developing agents easier task for our front line leadership team members.
Quality metrics have allowed for us to identify areas of concern when it comes to training, thus allowing us to proactively adjust our new hire training as well as our soft skill modules we use as part of our on-going training program.

Cons

Reporting-I have this listed as both a pro and a con because although we are able to gain access to what we need it was not easy to tailor the reports to our requirements. Additionally, for whatever reason every time a report is generated every computer in our organization suspects the downloaded file as a virus. We know this is not the case, but it is alarming for non-daily users.
Queue Scheduling-We accept phone calls from 7am-7pm. Anytime a phone call is attempted to our support line outside of these hours a message is supposed to inform the individual when telephone support will be available and instruct them to call back. Currently, we receive several calls every morning that are before our hours of operation. The 8x8 support team has reviewed the issue and cannot assist in resolution.

They're slow to react -- sometimes we cannot get people to help with system failure.

Alternatives Considered

Unfortunately, I was not the individual who selected 8x8 VCC, it was in place when I came to the organization. We have not explored any alternatives to date, because of the amount of time we have spent setting up the system to support our needs. At this point in time, we likely will not be switching to an alternate software solution.

I didn't participate in the acquisition at the beginning but I know some other platforms and after using presence what I like better is the real time reporting, the agent's easy to use interface, the option of sending communications to all of users in a very easy way, the options that supervisors get from their interface and the easy to configure scripting where you can have a campaign configure in minutes.

Very well, we have gone from having 15 workstations to having 350 in 1 year so far.
In our sales presentations, Presence is one of our major strengths.
