    Considered Both Products
    8x8 Inc.
    Chose 8x8 Work
    8x8 provided more features and customization than Ooma Office, as well as a better phone selection. We tried Ooma Office before turning to 8x8, and while it worked fine, my colleagues here did not like the way calls could be parked/transferred/managed through their phones. …

    Chose 8x8 Work
    8x8 Work is easier and much more organized both from a user and an admin perspective, and more cost-effective from a business owner standpoint.

    Chose 8x8 Work
    8x8 was much better and more reliable. Of course none of the VOIP systems will work if you have bad or slow internet.

    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.

    We use Ooma Office for everyone in the company including mobile users. It has allowed us to eliminate the spam callers as well give our mobile and remote users the ability to make business calls - from any device, from anywhere, at any time - without having to worry about any long distance charges, or without giving up their personal telephone numbers (at home or cellular).

    • 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.
    • 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.

    We have found it very easy to configure, manage, and expand our phone operations with Ooma Office. We needed a reliable phone network as this is the first means of communication for our customers - Ooma has made it a lot easier for us to manage. Their support is also available 24x7 so that's a huge plus.

    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

    Ooma has helped us make better use of our phones and given us many more capabilities than our previous service. The mobile app has provided an excellent connection and quality. Its integration with the cellular phone app and contacts makes it a breeze to use. Emailed recordings of voicemails are very helpful for both receiving messages and allowing us to archive them. It has also saved us a significant amount of money and provided us with a more capable and reliable system all at once.

    The 8x8 product is absolutely the best when it comes to this!

    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

    Ooma Office support is always available. I've never been on the phone with them for longer than 5 minutes. They are knowledgable, have great active listening skills, are able to make recommendations on how to make Ooma Office work even better for you, and wait times to speak with an agent are reasonable and typically less than 1 minute.

    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.

    Have a plan in place before you start the implementation, open communication with the staff on the changes being made, prepare a reference guide on the system and how to navigate the new setup. Budget and allocate time for helping staff learn the new system. Consolidate and coordinate all the questions internally before reaching out to support.

    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.

    • Efficiency to be on the road and still have our calls well-managed.

    • System made it one-stop shopping for fax lines and phones numbers and equipment which was convenient.
    • It was a shock to see that $39.98 of service manages to result in about $18 of additional “fees” every month. Makes the service significantly less of a bargain than is advertised.
