8x8 Work is a collaboration hub for phone, video, and messaging. It brings secure unified communication and collaboration experiences to every employee.
The products are basically the same - cloud based, remote provisioning, VOIP based. 8x8 is a superior product in terms of scaling, however the downside in this particular comparison that due to the global nature of 8x8, issues of deployment are not as easy to resolve and time …
It works as good as other providers, I don't think you will find one wildly better. Doesn't mean they all can't improve, I would say all do similar functions though. I've listed some improvements they should focus on, and general ease of us should be improved as well. That is …
As stated earlier, one major advantage was support for older equipment that other providers could not guarantee or were incompatible. 8x8 Work also seems to cater to our size and type of company where our call center is key to customer satisfaction and delivery. The deep level …
In this case for the company there is another application called Zoho Voice, but it is not very useful, although it is true that it makes calls and sends messages but it does not meet the user's expectations for the following reasons: Because Zoho Voice does not allow mass …
We transferred from a small local company with VOIP services but quite outdated phones (Cisco phones that are so old they aren't compatible with 8x8 services), and 8x8 provided us with a suite of new Yealink phones with many more capabilities via 8x8 and their associated …
8x8 X Series is much better than our previous on-prem NEC solution which was frequently down due to power pages. Also, our previous solution offered little to no integration and lackluster reporting capabilities. The ICA chatbot offering was a big plus that we hope to implement …
8x8 X Series is far superior to Phone.com. You have excellent support and assistance for challenges. Your service is reliable and easy to use. Your support staff is knowledgeable and the online case portal makes it easy to manage. You user interface is easy to use, visually …
Managing it's Admin console part and Configuring is easy after procuring new license or Polycom phone. I myself has done. Best thing is we can claim phone numbers as per the choices. It is user friendly, fast and Quick.
We selected 8x8 X Series over GoTo Connect because we needed a platform that could support the needs of our growing business. We also needed a platform that offered a wide range of features, including unlimited calling, video conferencing, and call recording. Additionally, We …
RingCentral seems to have a better feature set and more options to expand on services where 8x8 falls short. We selected 8x8 based on our vendor recommendation at the time but are looking into possibly moving to Ring Central after some additional evaluation.
After using pretty much all of the top competitors including Ring Central 8x8 is a Better Fit not only in reporting and features, but their Customer Service Team is a Dream.
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 …
8x8 support was one of the major deciding factors in moving away from our old system. We'd experience business impact issues with our routing systems and wouldn't hear back for days/week, if at all. With 8x8 Work, we have guaranteed SLAs depending on impact levels, this has been a great peace of mind when/if issues occur. We also onboard new locations containing older POT/analog equipment that our old provider were not compatible with. 8x8 saved us money in not needed to overhaul our older devices at this time.
8x8's emails with billing info or auto-payments does not attach a pdf copy of the invoice for reference; you have to log in to your dashboard and navigate through several links to obtain a copy of your invoice, which is frankly just inconvenient.
While 8x8 is very feature rich, a lot of it appears to be oriented towards call centers and therefore may not be required or useful for small offices (like ours).
While 8x8 is very responsive to issues affecting its system, the frequent update alerts can become distracting.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
It's been amazing. We used to have so many complaints about call quality, phone calls cutting in and out, tons of calls where it was dead air, dropped calls etc. Since switching back to 8x8 we have not had one complaint, which is great for business! Being able to communicate with our clients is the only way for us to have a positive ROI!
