    Chose 8x8 Work
    In our system selection process we were able to narrow down our selection to three primary options, dial pad, Mitel and 8x8. After the due diligence and criteria review we did trials of each of these potential solutions. From that we determined that the 8x8 offering was what …

    Dialpad seemed too basic and Grasshopper used too much bandwidth. Also, customer support at both of these was really pretty pathetic.

    8x8 X Series was one of the most affordable and comprehensive available. They were responsive during the sales and training process and helped walk us through our use case. We thought it was pretty clearly the winner despite a few gaps as mentioned, but those are not major and …

    8x8 is definitely the winner if you're comparing RingCentral solely based on cost, however it will fall short on mobile, and administrative features/metrics compared to RingCentral. I would say Dialpad is in the middle, a bit more expensive than 8x8 but less costly than RingCen…

    At the time (over 3 years ago) Dialpad was the only cloud-based VOIP vendor that offered this wealth of features, modern design, and highly active change log. Now that other vendors have caught up there's less and less reason to use Dialpad so I can no longer recommend it to …

    Dialpad provided better quality and better service. We were able to work directly with the company, and not have to go through an "agent." What's more, when we did have to speak to someone, it was a rep in the USA, not someone in a call center far away from where we are.

    Having the capability to copy and paste in phone numbers that I am trying to call directly into the 8x8 Work user interface is a massive time saver for me so that I don't have to type in each phone number like we had to do before 8x8 Work. When you are in sales and productivity and time is important that can really add up.

    I like that it allows for a seamless transition of calls between our 2 offices. I don't have to forward or un-forward phones at the beginning and end of my day. Our offices are on a specific schedule which opens the phone lines at a certain time, transfers them to another office at another time, and then sends them to an after hours number when we close. I also like how easy it is to change settings within our different departments and contact centers. It's a very well-rounded program that is easy to use on your computer or phone.

    Cons
    8x8 Inc.
    • Customer support do not respond properly if you are facing any compliance issue.
    • If any person in the organisation misbehaves with a customer and the customer raises a complaint to the concerned team, they suspend the organisation's entire
    • account without any warning.
    • Rarely we face voice disturbance.

    • 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.

    As long as the general system for your organization is up, it is a completely fine system, no issues; however, if there are any glitches, those are rarely solvable in-house. It's a completely fine system with just enough features to keep everyone happy, but not WOW anyone

    Overall, it is quite user-friendly and quick to set up, even for beginner levels. It is also easy to onboard new hires and get them to take calls quickly. The main complaint is that the analytics are difficult to find, gather, and interpret.

    Reliability and Availability
    8x8 Inc.
    The 8x8 product is absolutely the best when it comes to this!

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

    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 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!

    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 customer support is not good on Zoom. They do not know about their product. When we ask something about a Zoom feature, customer support takes time and denied for that feature but those features available in Zoom and we have to find out those features by Google and logs. 8x8 Work is the best in the market.
