Likelihood to Recommend Our trading team always struggled with keeping up with vendors as they have so many. The sidecart really helped us with this matter. The mobile app is awesome for our remote employees to take their phone on the go with them at all times. Fantastic product in terms of desk phone and mobile app.
Read full review I provide regular training as a big portion of my job. There is weekly training with an infinite number of users in attendance on any given date—GoTo Meeting is not the best option for this because I would have to mute users as they join the meeting. However, I also provide frequent training sessions to a small number of users that feature more individualized content, and having them able to mute/unmute at will is a better fit for a smaller group with in-depth materials.
Read full review Pros Automatically routes incoming calls to the available agent with the appropriate skills, ensuring that customers are served promptly. Integrates with email systems to provide a unified view of customer interactions. Allows sales representatives to share their screens with customers and prospects, demonstrating products and services effectively. Read full review Excellent audio and video quality. Functional and easy-to-use screen-sharing feature for product demonstrations and presentations. Possibility of recording meetings that we can later review and share with those who could not attend. Possibility of managing the microphone of the participants in host mode so as not to disturb the entire event. Read full review Cons Some of the line porting was more complicated and took longer than initially quoted 10-15 minute delay in the email integration feature caused us to look for an alternative option for ticketing. We need the ability to reply to our customers instantly SMS and fax included in the lower licenses tiers like many competitors do Read full review We occasionally experience slow performance during screen sharing. The help center should have detailed tutorials on commonly asked FAQs and also to initially set up the profile. One of my initial thoughts regarding recordings was to edit them in the future when the product changes. Read full review Likelihood to Renew 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
Read full review As aforementioned Go To Meeting is our 3rd Collaboration Tool but it is gaining ground on the other two in our use. It is agile, and flexible and we've found it is cost-efficient. It is feature-rich and is easy to set up. Collaboration is seamless and the video and audio quality are normally excellent. There is very little jarring or latency and lag on our calls. Most users have easily picked up the features of the tool and been able to work with it. It has been excellent for conference calls, video calls, business meetings, and presentations. File sharing is also one of its strongest features and is something we have used frequently particularly during meetings and conferences.
Read full review Usability Again for a large call center with many needs, and full time people to manage this may be a good system, but for a small business needing a phone system in my opinion it is overly complicated and difficult to manage without multiple calls on support.
Read full review The simplicity of GoToMeetings desktop, mobile, and web-based applications make it a very robust and user-friendly meeting solution. At times, it may be more complex than needed, but it is nice to have so many features that can be used if needed. Once installed, it is very easy to use and navigate.
Read full review Reliability and Availability 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
Read full review This application has always been available. Never an issue
Read full review Performance 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.

Read full review Support Rating 8x8 support can be phenomenal. After getting in touch with a support member, all of my problems are either solved right away or throughout a small time frame, fine-tuned to my circumstance/issue. Whether they are following up via phone call or email, I have full confidence and faith that any matter will be resolved. Trying to contact the support team is where things get a bit tricky. Raising an issue in the chat can be taxing as we are mostly referred to the general FAQ section of the site. Although it may be helpful to some, it does nothing for those of us that have very specific problems. If each account holder can receive access to a customer service line that differs from non-member account holders, I think we'd have a higher level of trust and a lower level of frustration.
Read full review When we have issues, they seem to respond quickly and do everything they can to help us. They have even tried to find other ways we could get more use out of their product, or improve the way we are currently using it. Overall, their support has been fairly good for us.
Read full review In-Person Training 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
Read full review Online Training online (video) training is good. No issues.
Read full review Implementation Rating 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.
Read full review It was very easy and self-explanatory.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Hands down 8x8 is superior to the Spectrum Ring Central that we had tried. Interestingly, they supplied the same phone hardware but were unable to suggest an adapter for wifi for the phones. Cost wise very similar but customer experience very different. Above all else, the quality of customer service has made all the difference
Read full review Many times, it seems like GoTo Meeting requires less bandwidth to run. We noticed with a few test machines that if you have over twenty video streams, this product could handle the load better than if we used
Microsoft Teams and had many video streams.
Read full review Contract Terms and Pricing Model At this time, we’re very happy with the pricing model that we have worked out and they have provided for us. Just be sure to do your homework, and use your comparisons to work out your cost with 8x8. They will be very straightforward with you on what they can adjust for you.
Read full review Scalability 8x8 100% suits Business needs to connect with from anywhere and everywhere. The Softphone features is very light and very easy to use also very reliable with Zero Downtime. Can also be set personal Voicemail over softphone at anytime and logs everything is very easy to find.
Read full review Professional Services PS had all the users etc. set up by our go-live date. All hard phones were activated and when we received them, all we had to do was set them up and punch in the activation code to activate them.
Read full review Return on Investment 8x8 has consistently performed well for our office, which allows us to focus on our work rather than having to fix it from time to time. 8x8 hasn't significantly increased its cost since we started with it 5 years ago, which has been helpful. Read full review Any collaboration app these days are now a great addition for those organizations which have more than one office and they need to collaborate with each other. GoTo Meeting can contribute to cost savings by reducing the need for extensive travel, accommodation, and related expenses associated with in-person meetings especially in case like us as we have multiple branches.
