8x8 X Series (Formerly Virtual Office) vs Lingo

• Conference call feature is great. We have created multiple conference bridges, we even have one tied to our virtual attendant.
• We like the flexibility of the auto attendant and being able to have more than one profile saved that we can change as needed
• Having Virtual office was especially great when hurricane Irma came through last year and our office had no power, it allowed us to continue to operate from our cell phones without the customer realizing there was anything different.

• User friendly, easy to see what needs to be done for each retail partner and completing all required documents
• Its price is competitive compared to other options
• Nice that they don't send a million update and confirmation emails like some platforms

• The iPhone app is powerful, but clunky.
• The technical support (which was absolutely amazing when we first signed up with 8x8) is terrible now. The same goes for their customer service (that is, if there is a problem that tech support can't fix or doesn't handle well, and then you call customer service to complain, they'll just pat you on the head and tell you to go on your way).
• The web interface is difficult to use, both from a user standpoint and an administrator standpoint.

• Cost setup for each retail partner is steep. In this digital age, it seems like a rip off to have to pay for this service
• ERP/Warehouse integration - it does not have the ability to integrate with our ERP setup currently.
• Sometimes there are just one too many steps to submit documents - wish it automatically prompted to the next submission step to remember to get through all steps more easily and not get lost in submitting documents

• When I am the only person covering the phone, I can get messages or calls anywhere and anytime and make sure that they are forwarded to the right person. This ensures that appointments are kept and employees don't waste time on appointments that get canceled.
• When someone is out on leave, it is convenient to forward their calls to someone else to make sure customers get attention when needed.
• Text capabilities allow our patients to contact us promptly for appointment cancellations. We are then able to fill those times with other patients who need to get in.

• It helps us save money on EDI processing
• It was user friendly so we could have our warehouse take over helping us process ASNs and take over steps on processing EDI orders for no additional cost- this has saved our admin time needed for these orders
• We were able to add all our retailer partners with specific requirements without issue. It helps us stream the processing and save time/money on these orders where the margins are not always great and the rules complicated
