User Testimonials
8x8 WorkImpact Telecom
Likelihood to Recommend
With the calls, since it allows taking so many at once, that's great, but I would love it if there were call transcripts because sometimes I have 4 people on the line and can get confused or miss details. It can also be confusing when you put someone on hold and then go back to them. Also, I start talking after I hit the unhold button, but by default, I'm muted, so I have to manually unmute myself for them to hear me.

Reliability and Availability
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
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.

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
