    Dialpad Connect was an all-inclusive, single-tech stack which was a major pain point for us previously. Having one platform that is not dependent on other systems is a huge bonus.

    Dialpad Talk has changed its pricing; however, it's still a good option against most VOIP services in my opinion. Google Voice lacks features. 8x8's app was was a little confusing. RingCentral and Vonage are pricey for small companies. I've tested other tools that seem to have …

    8x8 was fine after some initial bumps in the road. The deep CRM integration was the key factor in our decision to switch. We've made a major effort to streamline into a paperless/automated office as much as possible; the phone system needed to mesh with that. The ability to …

    We spend a lot of time calling insurance companies to check claim status, verify benefits, or fix denials. 8x8 is great for handling high call volume days when our team is making and receiving a ton of those calls. The call routing makes sure insurance calls go to our billing reps and patient calls go to the right team, so things don’t get mixed up. If we’re doing a compliance review or responding to an insurance dispute and need a specific recorded call from months ago, it can take some digging to find it unless we have exact details. It’s not impossible, just not super quick

    I like that it allows for a seamless transition of calls between our 2 offices. I don't have to forward or un-forward phones at the beginning and end of my day. Our offices are on a specific schedule which opens the phone lines at a certain time, transfers them to another office at another time, and then sends them to an after hours number when we close. I also like how easy it is to change settings within our different departments and contact centers. It's a very well-rounded program that is easy to use on your computer or phone.

    Pros
    8x8 Inc.
    • The out of the box chat feature is outstanding for your website. My team was able to adopt chat easily.
    • Setting up the system with the help of an integrator was especially easy and did not require any IT training on my part.
    • The visibility of being able to manage my team and all media channels in one panel is awesome.

    Cons
    8x8 Inc.
    • Campaigns is a big one. That has been our main pain point with the 8x8 VCC.
    • AMD+Auto Voicemail is a feature not available today.
    • Customizations like changing a campaign's caller ID based on a CRM field do not allow teams to create more efficient flows.
    • Time zone dialing is limited to the phone area code, not the physical location (address), which is undesirable.

    • The only example I can list for improvement is that occasionally the message has some mistranslation(s). But I can usually figure out the missing words. The 'southern USA' dialect may be partly to blame....
    • The functionality is really great. It is the best app I have used for messages in all of my customer service jobs.

    8x8 contact center is meeting our needs as a call center communication solution. We use 8x8 across the entire organization and have been able to work with our account management team to ensure our configuration and integrations meet our business, legal & compliance needs across the organization. The greatest benefit has been the 8x8 account management team who consistently works with us to ensure our needs are being met.

    Dialpad Talk is easy to use and no one has had a problem using it. Even when we have had questions/problems we have been able to fix it ourselves without having to go to Dialpad to ask for help, which saves everyone time. We don't have any reason to cancel our use of this product and we are very happy with how it performs for our team.

    Usability
    8x8 Inc.
    Overall, the 8x8 contact center's functionality is great! As the administrator for our practice, I find the platform extremely easy to navigate and customize for our business needs, which are constantly changing and evolving. I find the analytics very easy to use overall. It is fairly quick and easy to find call recordings when needed, and the reporting can transition between a 30,000-foot view and an extremely granular view.

    Support is subpar, any time there was an issue they would ignore the preferred means of communication & would not respond to the ticket aside from that they called instead of emailed. They also are not based out of the US so hours are vastly different than typical working hours. They were able to help in some cases but a lot of them were "that's how it is" responses & just overall not a great experience

    The original date for roll-out, was unable to happen because there was an issue finding our existing phone lines to port them... The only reason I gave a 9 is [that] the original person we have been working with, Rolled out phones. Pro without telling anyone and then went on vacation, I only say this to explain that there is a gentleman that took over to help us named Brett and he was FANTASTIC! He allowed a ton of calls and answered all of them, walked us [through] settings, profile set up, and even emailed screen shares so we could help other members of our team! Thanks so much, Brett you ROCK~

    Online Training
    8x8 Inc.
    The training was easy but would probably be much easier in person. Easier to ask questions and show someone your computer when you are in person. Easier to differentiate between network issues and 8x8 issues. Online works too but for how technical 8x8 can be, I would recommend you try and do in person if possible. Would make it much easier to get help when needed. This is a personal preference and not something that is required by any means. The online training is still great and still did the trick. The good thing is that help is always available months or years after if there is something new you want to do

    Fuze is somewhat dated and clunky when it comes to configuring settings. 8x8 Contact Center design and settings is more clean and easier to amend. Fuze includes an all in one softphone system, which is an additional component for 8x8. RingCentral seems somewhat pricier when comparing the different offerings, although they may have more features.

    Panterra is dependable and has good support. Dialpad Connect has more features and an easier interface. AT&T has a lot of features, but Dialpad Connect's interface is easier. AT&T does not do call transcription that I know of. Comcast BVE and 8x8 services are lower quality and service is not great.

    • Not having to worry about maintaining CCaaS infrastructure is a big ROI
    • For small business, the ROI may not be there - might still be better off with a local PBX (KSU) and a few POTS trunks from the cable company.
    • Never having to worry about upgrading software.
