8x8 Contact Center vs. Squaretalk

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.

It has helped us a lot with the communication flow of the company, employees have better communication with each other, via chat or if they are out of the office. They can also answer the chat or calls without problems with the mobile application. Very useful in all aspects, that's why we highly recommend it.

• 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.

• Excellent reception of calls and video calls, looks very clear, which makes it a better experience and information can be passed without any problem.
• Screen sharing is excellent for video conferencing, when we need to explain a task or show a file from our computer, everyone understands and is satisfied.
• I like that even if I am not in my work area, from my mobile devices such as my phone or tablet, I can access the application.

• 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.

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!!

The only issue I have ran across was on getting the updated new version

Yes everything loads quickly and its ready for use

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.

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.

It is pretty much "Par for the course" with the options out there with other vendors.

It was implemented across the board in the company and has worked perfectly

• 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.

Incentivized

• A very easy-to-use program that does not require external technical support for installation or learning. Employees are more focused on their activities and the easy way to send files, which is a considerable saving of time and man-hours.
