I don't have anything to say about this. It was researched but never implemented.

Chose 8x8 Work
Not sure which one we have used in the past, but we are very happy with 8x8. We have become so used to it that we do not see the need of switching. Price is comfortable and it has been effective for our needs. It's easy and comfortable to use.
Chose 8x8 Work
We used CircleLoop. As mentioned before we switched to 8x8 Work because the other provider did not have possibility of having multiple numbers for one user. And besides 8x8 Work is a more professional tool compared to the other one.
Chose 8x8 Work
Before using 8x8 Work we evaluated other communication such as zoom and Microsoft Teams, and Rin central. While all of these tools offer video and messaging features, we found 8x8 Work to be more reliable for voice calls and easier for our team to manage. The interface is …
Chose 8x8 Work
We found 8x8 to be more robust than other systems for a smaller price.
Chose 8x8 Work
8x8 staff was much more responsive than Ring Central, however Ring Central did not ask for a minimum period of engagement. As both products are quite similar, in retrospect, I would have chosen RingCentral. The delay at the beginning of each call is also slightly better on …
Chose 8x8 Work
8x8 Work gives me a dedicated phone line unlike RingCentral that gives every call recipient a main number to return my call. Nor can the recipient text back to let me know s/he will call me back later. The combined use of phone and text with multiple recipients simultaneously …
Chose 8x8 Work
From when I've been with the company, 8x8 has always been what we've used. My experience outside of here has been with other systems however that was long enough ago that I do not remember the name or their significance was not memorable.
Chose 8x8 Work
I have used Voip systems before and even bought and installed a PBX phone system and wired all the desks in. This is by far the cheapest option, its easy to use and easy to add new users.
Chose 8x8 Work
Fuze was good from few perspective, espectiall the click and dial option anywhere on the browser page where a number was situated.
8x8 Work says that has that but does not feel the same. also on adding notes in the CRM Fuze had a better usebilty
Chose 8x8 Work
Our company chose 8x8 Work because it offers a reliable, all-in-one communication platform with voice, video, and messaging in one place. Unlike other tools like Microsoft Teams, RingCentral, or Zoom, this program has provided a better global fill for supporting both remote …
Chose 8x8 Work
“8x8 Work is easy to use and combines calls, chats, and video meetings in one app. It was quick to set up and works smoothly on both mobile and desktop. Some other tools have more advanced features, but 8x8 Work offers the right mix of reliability, affordability, and simplicity …

8x8 was the first of this type i have used as a point of comparison
Chose 8x8 Work
Not really used anything else or researched anything else. When we found out 8x8 had all these other features and capabilities with an affordable price, I researched other companies and we realized we had made the right choice.
Chose 8x8 Work
Every solution has its positivies and negatives, but the ability to make changes as a company and not have to wait for someone to make them for you is very important to us

I have not used any other products like 8x8.
Chose 8x8 Work
8x8 Work offers all we need in an easy-to-use format. Zoom seemed to have too many features that are not required and can be overwhelming to Users who are not the most Tech-Savvy. The price point of 8x8 is great, too. Get everything we need at a low cost.
Chose 8x8 Work
it has been a long time since we have utilized other products.

Likelihood to Recommend
8x8 Inc.
I believe that 8x8 Work is well-suited for any organization, whether it employs 1-2 users or thousands. It is so easy to deploy and use. We are mainly a MS Teams house, and we want our Users to use this for Meetings and Chats. The fact that 8x8 has the flexibility to disable this within the client, so that it forces our users to continue working in Teams for meetings and chats, and then use the phone element in 8x8 Work, is brilliant. Our company finds it extremely easy to use, and the fact that we have different departments using it, with each department having the ability to change their outbound CLI to reflect the area of the business they are calling from, is excellent.

Pros
8x8 Inc.
  • 8x8 Work manages roles and permissions well. It is very simple to create permission groups needed for certain roles that may even overlap teams needs.
  • User management is fairly simple and straight forward.
  • Analytics reporting is good quality for the higher tier licenses

Cons
8x8 Inc.
  • The auto attendant has built in text-to-speech, but this same engine should be put to use for individual and ring group voicemail messages.
  • Call forwarding in the mobile app should be relocated for easier access. Instead it's buried somewhere under the generic "account settings"
  • The default user template disables voicemail text transcription. Why???
  • One fax number should be accessible by app for more than 1 user. Responsibility for faxes is usually distributed among a few people in a typical small office setting.
  • Ability to receive and send SMS messages from a shared "main company number" would be awesome. Ability to assign this to certain users would rock!

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.
I'm not using it to its full capacity like a Zoom or teams Workspace. I use the service for phone calls, hate application on my cellphone and the voicemail apparatus. This we like because it gives us the feel of a large firm when we aren't.

Reliability and Availability
8x8 Inc.
As mentioned before, we have not had an outage with the phone system per say, There was an issue with the call center where we did have an outage, but it was quickly and promplty handled by 8x8 support, they got us up and going again within 24 hours. The 8x8 hard phone and softphone side of things have been rock solid, I couldn't ask for anything more seeing we are in health care and it's exactly what we were looking for. When and if there is an issue 99% of the time it's user error

Performance
8x8 Inc.
None of the features that are available slow down the application. The reports (even the ones with hundreds of records) complete very quickly and the web interface as well as the mobile application never struggle to load or complete a task. The analytics will sometimes take some time to reflect the online status of users but it is to be expected due to connection speeds.

Support Rating

We are a USA based organization. Support was refreshingly quick (callback via phone or email, online live agents). Agents are knowledgeable, thorough in their explanations, and extremely patient when dealing with end-users at various levels of the ICT knowledge spectrum.

In-Person Training
8x8 Inc.
The person giving the training was very engaged, He also listened and answered all the questions. He created a video for our company while he was training in case we needed to reference it again in the future. The questions he could not answer were answered within 24 hours via an email to the IT support staff here so we could share the answers with the rest of the group

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.

Alternatives Considered
8x8 Inc.
I prefer 8x8 Work; it has the right number of features and modes for the communication I need. I much prefer 8x8 Work meetings to zoom meetings, as it is much, much easier to transition between devices when I am on the road. 8x8 Work is also easier to manage across multiple modes of communication.

adjust for you.

Scalability

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

Return on Investment
8x8 Inc.
  • Getting access to emergency voicemails left on our office lines when we are at home, on the weekend, or after hours.
  • Texting clients from a dedicated office line portal, keep things private and organized.
  • The ease of installation and helpful support when needed significantly limit the time wasted.
