8x8 X Series vs. Ringover Business Phone System

I had tried another VOip service which only lasted 5 days in our clinic since due to poor representative training they were simply not able to troubleshoot. 8x8 definitely solved this problem and can address our problems easily. However, I do feel that 8x8 is most likely geared toward larger business but there could also be a niche with working with small businesses such as ours. Small independent businesses tend to struggle with service based companies since we usually do not have an IT staff and because we do not represent corporations. Nonetheless, small businesses are loyal and can definitely promote your services within small business owners who otherwise may not have heard about 8x8

The Rover Business Phone System features are very responsive and powerful to provide the best and most accurate communication across teams and its Audio quality is excellent. Finding the call records is easy and management of different conversations is excellent and effective analytics are quickly created through Ringover Business Phone System capabilities and I have to mention its reporting ability is on top.

• 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.

Incentivized

• When new to the product, managing multiple call records is tricky.
• The ability to convert all files formats can be advanced.
• Functions for notification can be reliable.

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

online (video) training is good. No issues.

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.

When our company decided to transition 8x8 was the first choice we decided to go with. We also sat in for demos of ring central but ultimately decided to go with 8x8 due to the positive experience with the onboarding staff

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.

We've had periods where our organization has grown a considerable amount and we have had no issues in scaling our communications with 8x8. The number of possible extensions that we can use is far more than we expect to go through in a very long time. The only complaint that I have is a very minor inconvenience for me where I have to download activation codes for each phone. I would prefer to have the phones automatically activated as soon as they are plugged in.

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!

• Rover Business Phone System is a great new effective project communication and perfect call records keeping solution.
• It's a very intuitive platform to provide predictive analytics and extremely excellent customer management products.
• The effective file conversation and its data integration capability are good, and reliable for project collaboration.
