I personally like 8x8 alot. It is has good features such as voice-mail, notification setup, Audio and Video Calls, flipping active phone calls to different device without being interrupted.

We use 8x8 as our primary phone system. Our admins use the 8x8 Work version w/Front Desk and everyone else uses 8x8 w/Teams integration.

We didn't have any specific problems to be addressed, but we needed an updated phone system and software. The scope of use is total.

8x8 provides a phone system and voicemail for 2 locations with 4 users at each location. My client needs to be able to tranfer calls, use ring groups and check voicemail. A few users take advantage of the mobile app to answer calls while away from their desk. One of the users has been using it to take SMS orders from customers.

I am currently part of an organisation that resells the 8x8 X Series solution to a large number of clients. I find the solution on a whole very easy and easy to understand but also very intricate and complex due to its flexibility in the UC and Contact Centre space. The benefits of migrating to the cloud, especially with 8x8 X Series are tenfold and with the commercials available, its no wonder why they are named a leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant.

We currently use 8x8 for our voip services. The issues that we are running into is the amount of required items needed to implement a new user. Also the need for DIDs is not necessary. We also can't get a good export of the call tree that shows which numbers are linked to additional options in the auto attendant or ring groups

We use 8x8 as a telephony system for IB &OB calls. Best part of 8x8 is it provides application for desktop and mobile which I believe non of the other company provides. The call routing features is awesome with all GUI based which makes admin to create and modify call flow very easily. This is a great platform.

The 8x8 system offers a seamless remote work environment as the system allows you to work from anywhere without any interruption. The system also allows us to receive text messages without having to use or provide customers with our personal cell phone numbers.

I use 8x8 to contact 4PL warehouses &amp; carriers to make sure deliveries are made on time. Our Success Managers use 8x8 to call clients and prospective clients. We also use the text feature in the desktop app, which is very helpful when the client doesn't have time to talk on the phone or sort through emails. 8x8 is fairly easy to operate and we plan to continue using 8x8!

We both use it as an inhouse system and also use it to demonstrate to potential customers. It is also resold to our clients providing a secure cloud based UC platform with excellent mobility options. Due to its flexibility, we are able to deploy this to different verticals with great success.

We use VOIP phones with 8x8 work on the computer and mobile devices to communicate internally and externally. We can instant message for privacy and still have communications while in a meeting. Most issue I have is the search menu on work 8x8 (latest update) won't allow for searching.

We use 8x8 to connect with our partners and clients effortlessly. The X series has a lot of great benefits as well as products to choose from. It seems as though we were allowed to customize our plan to our small company. I will say that, at times it is a bit difficult to get in contact with members of the customer service team and the account managers. Relying on the chat to receive specific answers can be brutal, but when you get connected, you truly do become at ease knowing that your problems/issues will be resolved. I recommend this service over and over when I can due to the success of the quality.

We use 8X* in our organization to support another platform. We love it because it can go with you. We have quite a few Insurance agents who work outside of the office remotely. This allows them to be in contact with the office as well as clients, and as our phone calls have to be recorded, this handles this for us as well. It also allows the agents to give out a secondary work number without giving out their personal cellphone number. Ever since adding 8X8, we've been able to handle our call volume as well as keep messages and retrieve messages on voicemail.

We use the phone system and the voicemail system.I think the 8x8 series has been very wonderful to the company and myself. Its been very useful and managing phone calls has been a total breeze. 8X8 series are an efficient company that we will continue using not just for our office but for other offices as well.

We moved our organization over to 8x8 a few years ago, and it has been a great change in our communications. The setup of the system was seamless. 8x8 provided someone who helped us move from our old phone system to the 8x8 system, and they were fantastic to work with. We ended up taking a few days prepping new phone hardware and getting employee accounts set up and linked to their phones, then moved the entire organization over in 1 day. The computer and phone apps work really well, and they have given our employees a much easier way to communicate with other constituents without having to give out their private phone numbers. The training needed for end users has been pretty minimal as well since the system is very intuitive to use. Overall, I'm very pleased with 8x8.

This is a great system to use for faxing and making phone calls. I have been using it during my time here at work, and I enjoy it. I think that every company should use this service. You can use it from wherever you are located to do work. It's an all-in-one stop.

We decided to purchase and use the 8x8 X Series service because our call volume was very high. We implemented a phone tree and individual voicemails. It has helped with directing calls to the right person and giving information to callers without a person picking up the phone. This has been a great service and reduced distractions in our office.

It's been a great experience upgrading to IP phones, it is a pure technical feat of features and with the auto attendant blocks 99% of Robocalls. I have full access to a variety of features and access to my main line on my mobile so I can be free all together of distance and wires when you have an important call coming in.

We chose 8x8 X Series because of its ease of use, scalability, and customer service/training. Since I have been employed at Wagner, 8x8 X Series has always been reliable. We have had very little to no internal service ticket reports for 8x8 X Series. On the few occasions that we have had issues, we were able to identify and address the issue with ease using documented solutions on the 8x8 X Series support console or via the robust customer support team that have on a few occasions gone above and beyond to address our needs. Wagner primarily uses the VoIP system with conference calling and video meetings, messaging, and most importantly the flexibility to work on desktop and cell phone.
