8x8 making it easy to use

I use the 8x8 Contact Center system to handle incoming calls and outgoing calls from various types of callers ranging from regular customers to attorney's, other insurance providers, and medical professionals. Sometimes I use the system to connect callers to specific individuals as needed. The chat function is also used daily to seek and provide information regarding various claim details. In general I have not encountered many problems with the system the only issue that comes to mind is when a caller disconnects a call before I can answer it counts as a missed call in the log records which gives the impression that a choice was not made to simply not answer the call. Perhaps an update of some sort could be made to differentiate between a caller disconnecting the call before it is answered and a unanswered call all together. Other than that I have no issues with the 8x8 system.
  • Good connection quality
  • Easy to use chat system
  • Simple to use
Cons
  • Not counting disconnected calls as missed calls
  • Better caller ID
Overall I believe the system is well suited for all situations and to be fair I cannot imagine a scenario where it would not be appropriate to use.

While working as a claims representative, I use 8x8 to place both outbound & receive inbound phone calls. From filing claims, to speaking with attorneys, 8x8 is our bridge of communication with our clients.
  • User friendly
  • Good analytics
  • Simple overlay
Cons
  • Add more custom features
  • Add an additional phone line
  • Add the ability to mute certain tones, such as the on-hold beep
I use it every single minute of my work day and I've never encountered an issue. Filing auto claims over the phones and utilizing 8x8 makes the job so much easier.

Blanchard & Thomas has been using 8x8 Contact Center for our VOIP needs for more than three years. We use these phones for calling and consulting with our clients and intercom paging other employees within our company. The phones may not necessarily address a problem so much as it is an easy business solution for having phones for our employees versus using landlines, which can be more costly monthly.
  • Providing solutions to our technical issues such as when the phone has garbled audio or if the calls aren't coming through
  • Reviewing and answering questions with regard to our billing and invoicing
  • Assisting with adding new devices and phone lines to our current plan
Cons
  • Ideally, better quality calls for customer service would be great; I have previously had a difficult time hearing the representative who is helping me
  • I would love to see an easier user platform; the current setup can be a little confusing
  • The password function on the phones has been complicated to navigate and the contact center often can't be of help with these issues
I would say a seven only because they are a pricier option compared to some other VOIP plans out there, the customer service isn't always rainbows and sunshine, and we have had numerous tech needs that have had to be resolved. But we do like the convenience of having all of our lines easily accessible for our employees' needs.

8x8 Contact Center is the primary phone system, and it’s also used for internal communication via chat, and it’s a great tool to reach many global clients and suppliers.
  • User friendly
  • Phone App
Cons
  • Default settings are hard to find
  • If Internet is down, no phone
Being 8x8 Contact Center is an internet-based, it’s effortless to move desks in a fast-paced environment! However, if the connection is not great, then you run into poor calls

Simple and Easy!
