On the other hand, here are some scenarios where 8x8 Contact Center may be less appropriate: Businesses that do not have a high volume of incoming customer calls or interactions: 8x8 Contact Center is designed for businesses that need to manage a large volume of customer interactions, so it may not be cost-effective for businesses with low call volume. Businesses that do not have the resources to manage a cloud-based system: 8x8 Contact Center is a cloud-based solution, which means it requires an internet connection and may require technical expertise to set up and manage.

Provana is very well suited for our well-being and needs in that all of our company policies can be searched, found, and updated within minutes. It makes it easy to find what you are looking for and navigate the ever-changing landscape of SOPs. I’ve never seen anything that is easier to use and upload your files into.

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.

Cons
8x8, Inc.
  • With 2-party states, 8x8 does not give us an option to modify the recorded statement that alerts parties the call is being recorded. The one we could use tends to sound harsh to the second party, and tends to cause sales losses.
  • When they recently changed their admin panel UI, several things the old UI had available never made it across to the new platform.

Usability
8x8, Inc.
The system is flexible, adaptable and easy to use and research. 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!!

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.

To be honest, I have really never used anything more than Provana. Provana has been the easiest tool that I have ever used. I really enjoy using it and all of my other coworkers and employees understand and know that updating recertifying or changing the policy is as easy as locking onto the website and clicking a few buttons.
