  • When going into our contract we were promised the first 2 months would be free but it was deceiving because the setup of getting everything running properly took that long and we not fully utilizing the phone before that time span had ended so we felt that we didn't get our two-month credit.
  • Being able to link the phones to both the computer and the mobile app has been very helpful for our outside salespeople throughout all of our branches.

  • When we added up all of our telecom total cost, we were able to reduce ¼ off all the yearly budget even with call centers using 8X8 licenses for our agents.
  • Another big factor for us is that we could deploy agents quickly as needed to cover bad weather problems, which seem to be occurring more frequently.

  • It has been a great product.
  • I wish the call reports were better. I have noticed that the call volume is not correct.
  • I am not involved in the purchase so it is hard to cite ROI because I do not know the cost.

  • 8x8 X Series has allowed us to function during the pandemic with significantly increased remote work without missing a beat, so the ROI on that is pretty substantial and probably not truly quantifiable.
  • 8x8 X Series allows us to be flexible with our work hours, allowing employees to work elsewhere when necessary (e.g. lockdowns, appointments, family matters, etc.).

  • I used to have a number of services, which I replaced with one 8x8 [X Series] solution.
  • It saves me a lot of time. Hard to tell ROI, but definitely 1-10hrs a week in comparison to the old setup I had.
