8x8 Express (discontinued) vs. Dialpad Connect

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

Dialpad is great for anyone looking to bring in a dialer for their sales team for the first time. It is a power dialer, so you will NOT be able to dial multiple people at once; you will have to dial everyone one at a time. The call recordings and insights are good but not always perfect, as it takes a while to sync with Salesforce.

• I can make calls through the app & the caller ID shows my office line - I can toggle between the main business line and my direct line.
• It keeps all of my voicemails & transcriptions in one place.
• The desktop login allows me to access everything as well.

• We are just starting to use the platform and using limited features at the moment and 8x8 is doing everything we need it to do.

• The only example I can list for improvement is that occasionally the message has some mistranslation(s). But I can usually figure out the missing words. The 'southern USA' dialect may be partly to blame....
• The functionality is really great. It is the best app I have used for messages in all of my customer service jobs.

Dialpad Talk is easy to use and no one has had a problem using it. Even when we have had questions/problems we have been able to fix it ourselves without having to go to Dialpad to ask for help, which saves everyone time. We don't have any reason to cancel our use of this product and we are very happy with how it performs for our team.

It was really tough for us to figure out how to integrate it with our software and every time we asked for help, they would just send us to read the FAQ section. We never really have someone face to face to help us- getting started was very hard. Once you get it going though, it is very easy to use.

There have not been any outages that I am aware of and we have had consistently good coverage since the start. There can be a slight lag from the office to the mobile app, but it is not terribly noticeable and it has not resulted in any calls being prematurely hung up

The emails of voice transcription come very quickly after a call has been completed and except for a few fairly difficult names are pretty accurate. The ability to quickly listen to the voicemail from email without having to open the app is also a bonus. I have not noticed or heard of any slowdowns

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.

The original date for roll-out, was unable to happen because there was an issue finding our existing phone lines to port them... The only reason I gave a 9 is [that] the original person we have been working with, Rolled out phones. Pro without telling anyone and then went on vacation, I only say this to explain that there is a gentleman that took over to help us named Brett and he was FANTASTIC! He allowed a ton of calls and answered all of them, walked us [through] settings, profile set up, and even emailed screen shares so we could help other members of our team! Thanks so much, Brett you ROCK~

Welcoming and easy to follow the instruction

Simple and easy to follow, we had our branches around the country to be trained and the feedback was great. Only take if there was a desk phone training that would be great. The team provided us with video for the desk phone training

I didn't participate in the implementation. But obviously it went flawlessly, as all users are set up in-house, and on the app.

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.

With Dialpad there is no need for external apps or VPN to make ir work properly, it connects in one click. It has All in one features to organize your Workflow. Communication is beyond one area but multiple. The audio and video quality stand up and the costumer service is amazing

We were able to get payment 3 months instead of yearly or monthly

So far, Dialpad has been a great improvement for our organization. It allows everyone to be on the same service and the integration with the mobile app means everyone is still using the "office" numbers even when on the go which makes it easier not having to balance multiple phone numbers from people

• Being able to listen to phone calls when there is a discrepancy
• Keeping the honest honest by knowing we can listen to calls
• Easy to communicate internally, been very helpful and time saving

Incentivized

• Saves me time with a downloadable transcript for call documentation.
• All calls are automatically recorded, which provides proof of what was said.
• Translation availability using IVR and AI language allows us to communicate with all families without needing to find a translator.
