8x8 Inc.
It's worked great as a general use phone system when it is working, issues seem very particular and odd when working to solve them and it seems like many issues that reoccur are hidden behind settings that only 8x8 Work can control, support is very responsive and knowledgeable, it's genuinely an easy product to work with and simple enough for any admin to work in, when it works it works well

All our employees love this product. No one has ever had an issue, whether it be the phone or fax. Great during the winter when employees have to work from home because of the snow. Never had an issue with the phone app. Highly recommend this product

Usability
8x8 Inc.
As mentioned before, I really like that it lets me talk to multiple people at once. Not many services allow up to 4 calls; usually, it's two at most. Plus, the call records are impeccable. There are no complaints there. As I said, I just wish there were call transcriptions, as the companies that use 8X8, I imagine, receive many calls, and humans can only remember a certain number of details. A transcription would be helpful.

Reliability and Availability
8x8 Inc.
The 8x8 product is absolutely the best when it comes to this! I have had zero application errors or unplanned outages allowing me the opportunity to provide a constant source of reliable customer service to my members. I know this is something I can count on. Unlike the internet, it is subject to go down without warning

Performance
8x8 Inc.
No problems with performance, Pages load as they should. I can't answer on the reports side as only a handful of our Admins ( call center ) currently use that side of the software. It does intergrate very well with Office for meetings and conferences. Sometimes there is a slight lag or static when users are talking, but we found this to be a cause of a users computer had not restarted in a while, Once the user restarts thier computer the problem is resolved, So this is not an issue with 8x8

Implementation Rating
8x8 Inc.
The implementation of 8x8 X was rather smooth. We had training prior to getting the system. The IT company did a good job on the training. The whole system is wonderful. Saves me so much time with the faxing, as i can just let it go by itself and not have to make sure pages don't get skipped, as with a regular fax machine.

The only issue was adding licences was not via a button click but through your account admin which seems bad practice in a SaaS world as the user should be able to sign up, amend and close their account with ease
