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

As the price is so low and the quality is good, you can't really fault anything plus, they provide the best SMS service, with high sound quality; nothing compares to the price, and they also provide ongoing customer support.

  • I think at performance level it is still to be improved as many time we face hang issues but i think that can be imrpoved soon by the company
  • Having different configuration UIs on Web/App/Cloud, where it makes difficult to remmeber the exact places where to make changes. THere should be some syncing in configuration options
  • service support to be improved.

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.
