8 X 8 is GREAT.

8 X 8 Contact Center makes daily tasks more accessible and more efficient by providing business features to save time. My favorite feature is the ability to fax. You enter the number to fax to and attach documents; you can use default notification or add your personal greeting and click send. Once your fax has been sent, you receive a confirmation immediately. Simple, fast, and accessible. The status is a great feature as well. Callers within your organization will know when you are in a meeting or out to lunch. You can change your settings to reflect out-of-office for vacations, conferences, etc. Changing your greetings is as easy as 1-2-3.

We are a wholesale company. We have representatives inside and out of the office. Before we migrated to 8x8, it was such a headache to have someone working from home. Before, we had to use VPN routers, but now with 8x8 it's as simply as plug and play. And with the virtual 8x8 app, we can even have them working remote for the day without the need of any extra device. It made our life so much easier.

My company uses 8x8 to bring in callers for our 36 properties, to be assisted by our Care Center. Each property uses several different vanity phone lines so that we know how our callers are hearing about us. 8x8 is able to continually support all the phone lines and keep our communications running smoothly.

8x8 provides us with the ability to better understand our customer journey along with offering staff an easy and effective way to connect whether via phone call, virtual meeting or chat etc. We further have access to easier generate data that impacts our business decisions while positively affecting our responsiveness and timeliness on customer needs. Since implementing 8x8, our company has been able to institute a one-stop hub for all our connectivity needs while enabling us to switch between devices with ease and allowing us to have everything readily accessible at our finger tips. Jeff Feely has been instrumental and responsive to assisting us with acclimating to the tool and features while provide expertise to address our transition and learning curves.

We are using 8x8 VCC to replace the old Nortel CS1000.<br>We are the tech support center for customers that have purchased any of our products. We are using the new X-Series across all our offices. It simplifies all maintenance and one point access to program manage it. Solid based replacement for our original equipment.

I work in the billing department for a medical practice, and received communication daily from 8x8 as a tool of payment communication from our vendors. I believe this is an effective and easy way to keep track of my documents. I have in the past experience a lack of documents and had to reach out to the it depatment, however it was a smooth process and the techs were efficent and polite. I enjoy using this tool and would recommend to other people

We are a small nonprofit and used the 8x8 Contact Center as our intake line. Our agency would get up to 15 calls on average per day. We only had up to 3 users in the 8x8 Contact Center. We would log into the 8x8 Contact Center each morning and mark ourselves as "available". We had the 8x8 Contact Center set up in a way that evenly distributed calls to the people logged in. I would not recommend this format for small organizations. In my opinion, the 8x8 Contact Center seems to be designed for larger organizations with many different queues. We only used the 8x8 Contact Center for 1 queue because all calls ended up routed to 3 people. In my experience, it was too complex for the simple function we needed it for.

We use 8x8 Contact Center to triage all of our client call centers and redirect calls as needed to available representatives or escalate calls to managers. Additionally, we utilize 8x8 Contact Center metrics to calculate our team’s performance and analyze what we can do to adjust our systems to better serve our client’s needs. We also heavily utilize the call recording and whisper features to evaluate team performance and offer regular feedback to our team.

We use the 8x8 system as a virtual phone for all of our work at home employees. There are some issues that arise with software updates and it kicking people out a lot but over all we have been able to utilize it. I recently have been doing more research on 8x8 to better understand it and to expand my skills into WFM. There have been a lot of features that my company does not currently use but hope to use in the future.

For our sales dept. They don't deem to have too many issues with it most of the time. It replaces the previous cisco call manager we used to use on prem. We no longer have to manage that system and only have to manager users from the cloud application, which alleviates some day to day work, but can also cause a headache if there is an issue that we need fixed in a hurry.

We use 8x8 for our call center staff and our entire organization utilizes the phone and meeting solution. I feel the service from our account manager is lacking. As a prior account manager for software, I have never experienced an individual who cannot assist a customer with running reports, requesting reports or overall functionality of your product. Our account manager lacks knowledge, expertise on her own products and offered to show me links where I could purchase additional reports or training for me to run those reports. To me, this is unacceptable for any customer. I tried for 4 months to obtain or have the account manager show me how to run a staffing report. She had to get tech support involved, which resulted in hours of my time on the phone over the course of different days. At the end, I accepted what was generated, but it was not a staffing report. This was simply out of shear frustration and not wanting to commit any additional time to get ONE report! All follow ups or requests with my account manager result in her sending me links to do all myself. These links are never what I need or requested. Looks like Five9 may be in our future!

We use 8x8 for inbound and outbound calls for Sales and Support, and we use 8x8 to monitor performance and establish analytics with all the tools provided. 8x8 allows managers to view callbacks from callers for training purposes and to better understand what our day-to-day callers are like. We also use 8x8 to properly transfer customers to another agent and it works perfectly. Lastly, we use the desktop app. The desktop app lets us use our personal numbers to reach out to customers and also lets us use video conferencing. This is a huge plus for us as we are able to share our screen and have meetings with multiple guests at once. Lastly we are able to see one another status in the queue, this helps us organize meetings and allows us to go on lunch fluidly.
