8x8 X Series (Formerly Virtual Office) vs Nextiva Business Phone Service

• 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.

• Our teams are located in three different countries. This includes Administration, Customers Support, Technical Support, and Sales. All of us have an internal number reachable from any mobile or laptop.
• Looking for the internal directory and dialing a three digit number is very easy. We communicate with workers in different countries as we where in the same building
• User-friendly application with availability indicator, call settings, and personal preferences.

• Updates should be more seamless. I've had to downgrade a few times due to incompatibility with sound drivers, etc.
• I am all for "Fresh, New Interfaces", etc. but one should always have the option to keep the interface one is used to. You should be able to keep the "Classic Interface" without losing functionality or new features - some of us a re "Creatures of Habit"....
• I feel that in the last few years there has been an effort to make this more of a "Social Media" interface instead of a CRM with telephone dialer capability. For example, to make a call, one has to scroll all the way down to touch the dialer icon (which is only visible if you open the interface fully - dialer should be available "Front and Center" IMMEDIATELY at the TOP of the interface so you can DIAL the phone.....

• I would love to see more analytics about how I am using the tool delivered to my inbox weekly. Currently, I have to log in to see stats and dig through links to find what I am looking for. Not a dire necessity, but would like to see that.
• Sometimes where to upload audio files (like for the call attendant) are confusing - I had to contact customer support each time I wanted to do this and it's still something I'd have to call them about again.

• 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.

• The unlimited calling and faxing, possibility to do audio or video calls, conference bridge and customizations makes this application an outstanding way to maintain fixed low calling costs.
• Having everybody available at an internal call makes possible as many calls as necessary in order to finish the task.
• Call logs add for better supervision when personnel is not in the same location.
