KrispCall
It's well suited for sales and support environments where you need to give live coaching or real time feedback to your team members. It also helps when you have to take some strategic decisions, specifically if you are working in. support environments to identify trends, spikes in call volume, etc, and the virtual receptionist is a great help, too when the call volume is higher. For me in sales it helps with live monitoring, auto-transcript of calls, call tagging etc.

  • Ability to do live monitoring of calls whenever I need to provide real time feedback to my team members as it also ensures smooth interaction
  • Liked the option of auto-transcription whenever I am in a hurry and need just basic transcript of what happened on the call
  • Call Analytics is also great for you to help identify trends, and get some granular data points for making some strategic decisions

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 am not a decision maker who decides whether to buy a software or not but yes Krispcall has a lot of advantages compared to other vendors in the similar lines and one of them is it being cost efficent.
