    The 8x8 app is great and very user friendly and straightforward. Team Members can adjust their own setting as needed.

    Good for any situation where there are multiple employees who need to be reached by customers or in-house. Also cuts down on Robo calls because they typically can't / don't press numbers to choose from a menu. Can't really see this system being worth the price in a smaller-sized operation though, as there are far cheaper options that provide a much nicer management interface.

    • Makes it easy to send and receive phone calls, setup extensions, and generally handle incoming and outgoing phone calls.
    • You're able to receive business calls wherever you go, whether you're in your office or on your mobile device.
    • The Voicemail to Text feature generally works well enough for you to know what a message is about without having to listen to it.

    • Not a fan of the poly phones
    • I feel if the phones were set up better when installed it would have saved a lot of headache.

    If you get less than 4 phones you fall into the online only customer service. There were a couple of times that I could have used more assistance but figuring it out online was a bit of a hassle.

    8x8 has a much lower cost that avaya for the same features. 8x8 is a bit more user friendly than some other larger well established brands. It still uses industry standards in terminology and call flows to for anyone with voip experience its a pain free switch to make over.

    I have switched now to MagicJack for business, while their support might not be the most amazing either we are very satisfied with the service/cost relationship and this has been a major game-changer. I am certain that Comcast has a larger client base that they have to look for that might be creating much more significant revenue. We have faced similar situations with other vendors and have found better solutions with smaller, shelving solutions that seem to cater more closely to clients.

    • In my experience, you have to pay to get out of contract.
    • In my opinion, it's a total waste of time and money.
