8x8 X Series (Formerly Virtual Office) vs Jive

• The control panel is great and gives us full flexibility over how our system is configured.
• The customer support at initial setup was superb and we had a dedicated account manager who ensured that we were fully configured and working the way we wanted before handing over to the ongoing support team.
• The smartphone app is great and is just like having your fully-functional desk phone in your pocket.

• The mobile app is good but can be too much at times, almost taking over the phone.
• It would be nice if there was a way that when a voicemail is sent via email that it could mark it as listened to once the email has been opened.
• The setup for the auto attendant is very intuitive, granted it works well once set up.
• It would be nice if a call placed on hold could be picked up by another extension

• For me - the ROI is being able to close business much faster. I love being able to receive electronic faxes while I’m out of the office as I receive purchase orders and know they have arrived with the email update.

• Makes us seem bigger than we are.
• Makes it so the person that manages this part of the business can go on vacation and can pass on these duties to other people when he is gone.
• Helped us fulfill MSA requirements from our clients to have phone support. Couldn’t have closed some of our deals without it.
