An excellent solution with lots of features and significant advantages to legacy on-prem systems
As a reseller we install 8x8 X Series within our supported customer base. We've found it to be an excellent product. Moving from older and alternative VOIP systems and legacy on-premises systems to 8x8 X Series solutions is easy and well supported. Customers are pleased with the improvements, fast performance and lower costs that come with the solution.

8x8 is used in our business for incoming and outgoing calls. It allows outside callers to select options for the required department(s) Currently reception and customer service. Customer service calls are looped which 8x8 have been set up to our requirements by selecting the next operator in line to take a call which loops to the next operator if unanswered. We have direct numbers to give out and we utilise the missed call option as well as voice mail.
My issues that I have is the ringtone as it sounds too much like our teams ringtone and the transfer hold and leave buttons. They could be bigger and more prominent. I would rather see these icons front and center rather a circle image of the person I am talking / calling.

8x8 X Series provides a great service at excellent value.
I was looking for a new supplier to replace our traditional phone system. I found 8x8 X Series by accident after seeing an advert in an airport. I didn't think they would be interested in my small business but called them anyway. They were very helpful and I now have a much better system for less than a quarter of what I used to pay. The app is excellent in that it allows me to make and receive calls from anywhere and I can get messages anywhere and anytime and don't have to give out my own number to anyone.

8x8 X Series Gets a 10x10 From Us!
We use 8x8 X Series pretty much with most of the functions available. It is our daily phone system, but almost all of us use the phone app when working from home. There are several of us who use headsets connected to our office computers that allow us to never touch the phone...we can answer calls and dial out on the computer keyboard. You wouldn't think that would save a lot of time, but it actually does when you take and make dozens of phone calls each day. We use the messaging system within 8x8 X Series, as well as the faxing service. This is quite literally a single product that has so many functions that help us be productive. The ONE issue I seem to have when working from home and using the mobile app is that occasionally I will move my phone and lose audio on my end. The other party can hear me, but I can't hear them. I spoke with our account rep who mentioned there is a setting that could be turned off in the app which should prevent that, but that would mean I couldn't answer a call and transfer it to another person in my organization. For all the good this product does for our company, I'll deal with that minor pain point!

A great solution for VOIP
We are a managed services supplier. In doing this we work with 8x8 to implement new VOIP systems
This addresses issues to our clients looking for a new solution for their current phone system and VOIP resolves issues where the client is rural with poor signal
We currently only have a few clients using 8x8 but are constantly expanding and have heard great feedback so far

Great for multiple lines/locations
What I love most about this product is the fact that I can make calls from my cell phone that still shows up as if calling from the office. Also the ability to turn incoming calls on and off when away from the office. Overall, I have enjoyed the 8x8 experience.

8x8 web app/desk phone user
We use 8x8 to manage all 22 of our employees phone usage for our mental health company. We have 2 hard desk phones and the rest are cell phone/desktop web users.
October 02, 2023
All for 1 and 1 for all
The desktop and mobile app allow us to not need deskphones and be more flexible with where we work. We are not tied down to a location and can work anywhere to help support our customers anytime. The ability to grab numbers quickly give us an advantage to putting together marketing campaigns quickly. Call flow routing with ring groups, call queues, and auto attendants are easy to set up and use.

New 8x8 user (late 2022)
We use as a full CCAS solution. We implemented in 2022, still rolling out some features to the operation.
Connectivity and support with our previous platform was a real logistical issue and impacted our service to customers. Being on a cloud solution is much more preferable.
The analytics suite has been a game charger for us.

If you need a solid phone system, look not further!
8x8 is our phone system we use for communicating with our customers. We also use the internal group messaging feature within the company. We actually went to a different company briefly, and quickly came back to 8x8 after realizing we made a huge mistake. The quality and service levels with 8x8 are unmatched. Without effective communication with our clients, we would be out of business and 8x8 makes that so easy!

8x8 X Series adoption early success
We are moving to the 8x8 X Series phone system at multiple locations as a replacement for Avaya, Vonage, and Mitel phone systems. The Avaya system is no longer supported. The Vonage system was working well, but we wanted a common system between locations. The Mitel system is no longer supported and has been acquired by another company. The Mitel hardware has become unstable and difficult to maintain. We also wanted to move away from T-1 connections to an all-IP-based system. We would have moved to the Microsoft Teams environment, which we also use, but there were specific applications where Teams would not do everything we needed.
We use 8x8 in our company so that supervisors in 3 departments can receive and send calls. The customer care person can also transfer calls to other departments so that she does not need to physically carry the phone to the person who needs to handle the call.

Manage 25 person firm for telephone.
Use the main receptionist to handle main number calls. Also in-person, remote and mobile uses of 8X8 with desk phones and mostly Windows app on laptops to answer most of the calls. Transferring to cell phone from computer app is a breeze. Also to answer calls while on the road is great.
We use the 8x8 auto attendant and call que system to properly direct clients based on the DID they call, options they select, and time and day of the call. The system is easy to setup and can be modified quickly and efficiently by whomever is assigned the proper permissions. End users can operate the system without having to have any special knowledge about the setup, and training is quick and simple.
I take incoming and make outbound calls to clients! Intake about 30-40 calls a day & the problem my agency face are calls being routed to a furniture store. Also my agency experience call drops more than we like.

8x8 Works Well For Our Needs
We use 8x8 for our entire phone system. All incoming calls come to me and then I easily transfer them using the 8x8 app on my phone. I also use the desktop app, which I find to be more clear than the IOS app. I also use 8x8 to set up new users for my company.

Simple product that is easy to set up
We use 8x8 as our primary phone lines. Biggest problem it solves is being able to be on one phone system with the same call queues and rules so our customers receive a familiar, simple experience. It makes call queues and escalations way easier to set up than in other consoles

Excellent Phone Service!
We use 8x8 on a daily basis for both our internal team and our appointment setters/retention team. The options and properties of 8x8 are phenomenal and provide us every resource that we could possibly ever need. The system is extremely reliable and never fails us. Customer support is always very helpful the few times we have had to use it. 8x8 is a great service for any company!!!

A useful product
When working in the mental health field, we encounter various people looking for assistance or resources for themselves or others. One of the tools for communication we use is an 8x8 X Series account. Using it allows us to be in contact with our community so that we can provide them with the information they were looking for. It also helps within the company by being able to use their provided app and you can communicate with your coworkers without having to use your personal phone number or line. The only issue I have is the user interface. A lot of information can be overwhelming for some and it will take a bit longer than usual to understand how it works.

Powerful Phone System at a sustained good price.
I use it as our landline type phone and for when I am out of the office. I am a solo practitioner with one paralegal and we both use it exclusively. Our phones ring all day long as it's a high-volume immigration practice. Sometimes I am in court or out of the office for a variety of reasons and I never want my clients to have my cell phone number so I often use the mobile app to do calls while out of the office. It works very well either over wifi or cellular data.

8x8 MS Teams Unit
We use 8x8 in conjunction with our Microsoft Teams clients. Setup was fairly straightforward. We got help forwarding numbers from another party and setup profiles for different staff. 8x8 service has proven itself as stable platform and works very well with our Teams clients. We use Auto Attendant and really liked that we can have AI read our prompts, saved us time to prerecord the menus. We also like Ring Groups that are also easy to setup and administer. There is an open to add 8x8 app into Teams client as well, but we do not use it as there is no need for general population to ever login to 8x8, which is awesome. It is easy to make changes and items are graphically laid out and have very good descriptions.

8x8 X Series phone service is amazing!
I love using 8x8 X Series, it's a great affordable solution for your phone needs! I saved close to 2K per restaurant vs using regular phone service after I made the change. It's easy to integrate with your calendars to set up meetings as well.
