(76-100 of 406)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
We are using 8x8 X Series when contacting our drivers and inquiries coming from other drivers and customers or vice versa. 8x8 X Series has a feature to send them messages without having to worry about the number of characters used. You can send MMS or pictures easily. Logging into the call queues is really easy. You can review each call so you can get back to them and see if you missed out anything during the conversation. I also love the interface which is really user friendly. Never had issues with the service since I started using it.
All company related calls and texts can be found in one place and this is hugely helpful as it is very time consuming bouncing around different apps trying to catch all messages. Having one place they all come to, and that I can reach out to my coworkers from as well, has been a life saver!

We Trust 8x8 X Series
We use our 8x8 X Series system for our internal phone system at thirtyone3 technology as well as for our client help desk. We currently have 7 employees and roughly 500 users that we support with our IT MSP business. Our phone system must be active, secure, and stable in order for us to serve our clients with best-in-class service. HIPAA compliance is also important to us as we serve healthcare organizations within the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas. We switched our phone system away from a competitor in the past year as the legacy system was not feature rich in the ways we needed it to be. 8x8 X Series has met and exceeded our expectations.

Easiest Implementation Ever
I just rolled out 8x8 X Series with my company this week and only on Day 2 and everyone is in love! We previously used Nextiva app and hard phones. In my experience, there were constant issues that took hours to resolve. Had a few hiccups with the initial setup of 8x8 X Series but that is bound to happen. The support team fixed them in a matter of minutes! I feel the app is user-friendly and easy to set up and manage.
Our company uses 8x8 X Series extensively as we constantly communicate with our clients over the phone. Compared to communicating via email, 8x8 X Series allows us to speed up the communication process. Not only is it helpful to communicate with our clients but we also use 8x8 X Series internally as well. Moreover, it gives us unlimited calls and texts so we never have to care before dialing up or texting someone.

8x8 X Series is a great system, but, in my opinion, implementation and account management makes it not worth it.
We use the 8x8 X Series service to connect all our sites on a Unified platform. We selected 8x8 X Series because of the features: Supports mutiple sites over the US and International VoIP setup with no additional on-prem equipement other than phones Uses standard Polycom equipment Easy to use end user portal, desktop app, and mobile app. The service and management of the service is very easy and have no trouble with it. I would have a given the system a 10, but I could not because, in my experience, the implementation was nothing but problems and I have been trying to resolve billing issues for 6 months to a year. Managing the phone system is a breeze, but for us I feel managing the account and all the issues with the front office team is impossible.

It was better than I thought.
I use the 8x8 X Series every day for work, and it is very useful when I am not at my desk. Being able to answer the phone using my cell phone and not being tied down to my desk is the best use of it. Treating it like a cell phone also makes life easy.

8x8 Review by IT Professional
We employ the 8x8 at one of our client's sites as their main VOIP solution, replacing a legacy Panasonic PBX. It's used as both a soft-phone access point as well as with some Polycom devices.

Some good features, needs some work on others
This is our primary incoming phone system for clients and for intrahospital communication. It diverts phone calls for prescriptions to voicemail so receptionists can focus on incoming urgent calls and listen to that voicemail when there is down time. I wish there was an ability to see when the other extensions were on the phone before trying to transfer a call or use the intercom. It would be helpful to know if an incoming call can be routed to a doctor or if they are already on the phone.

Good integration with Salesforce
We use 8x8 as an inbound and outbound contact management platform. It allows for custom call routing, reporting and quality metric capture. Our users can access the call routing software to make or receive calls from a desktop or embedded Salesforce.com client.

Great product 8x8 x series!
I am a partner and assist with the implementation of the new 8x8 platform for my customers. 8x8 has a great platform. the installation can be rough at times, trying to get the correct support to assist and not getting a notification when 8x8 is experiencing a technical issue. Once the installation is completed the customers typically love their new system.

Quick overview from sales
It allows for seamless calling to avoid using a deskside phone. Being able to click to call not only makes it easy but saves time when planning out busy days. The integration between MS Teams is also native which is nice when other vendors use third party connections via API.

Great product for small businesses!
8x8 was by far the easiest solution for our phone needs. We're a small company that mostly relies on cell phones so we didn't need a HUGE phone system - just a professional front end that would represent our company well. 8x8 scaled easily for us and allowed us to set up a front end phone system without lots of work. Thanks for the great product!

Simple solution for all your business needs.
Most of our workforce is working from home. 8x8 helps us by giving flexibility to our users, admins and contact center agents. The admin console is easy to navigate and use while the contact center configuration manager is simple yet offers complex features. We have also integrated with Microsoft teams for that MS Teams familiar interface for our users.

Best Value Per Cost.
I was tasked with finding the best 'bang for your buck' VoIP system. After comparing 8x8 with other major competitors, it was a no-brainer. The price is unbeatable, the support is there when I need it, and I have no intention of switching to a new provider anytime soon.
8 x 8 has been an excellent resource, and I am grateful to have 8 x 8 by my side when traveling, working remotely as a digital nomad, or working at the desk at Majestic Steel. Teammates, the business community, the art community, and the technology community are able to reach me whenever they need to, and I am available. If I am not available, then they are able to record a message, and I will do my best to return their phone call, or I trust and expect a teammate will return the call. Everyone in the business world/ Corporate Majestic Universe should know about 8 x 8 as a resource, I believe it could be a helpful resource, and I trust and expect it has helped Majestic Steel Teammates and all who we connect with in the business world in many ways.

Satisfied with the experience that 8x8 X Series offers.
We use it to handle calls from different lines of service, it's easy to access, no apps needed to be installed since it's a cloud service, and the User Interface is easy to navigate. It does also allow supervisors to have access to detailed real time reports which makes the daily operation easier.

Stagnant inflexible intransigent oversellers
We needed UCAAS and CCAAS as part of our response to the Covid 19 situation, although we had started evaluating these products at an earlier date we had to expedite the procurement and implementation which we were able to do with the provider. Unfortunately once the product was live and in use the holes started to show and the support and development was seriously lacking. Responses to improvement requests essentially being derided and laughed at with a high turnover of account managers who could only really apologise that they couldn't meet the most basic of requirements.

8x8 is My Best Friend!
We recently upgraded from Avaya to ip phones. All telecommunications, including call centers, spread across six locations.

Review for recent transition to 8x8
We utilize the contact center to create complex scripts that involve queues, post call surveys, cut in messages, custom holiday/off hour schedules, etc.

8x8 is the best UCaaS on the market!
We can stay in touch wherever and whenever. The UCaaS with the mobile app is a game changer! We use it for chat, SMS, calls and is a great backup solution when our power or internet is down, since we can use it over cellular.

Simple for all Calling & Messaging Needs
8x8 is used by our company on a daily basis. We use it to log into our daily call queues and field calls from guests and residents at the various properties that our company owns. We also utilize it to connect with other members within our company. Additionally, it makes it simple and easy to message others, either individually or through group messaging, and it corresponds well with our other communication services that we use, such as Outlook and Teams.
We needed to be able to reach clients globally by phone, along with keeping our staff in contact. We did not want to take on additional staff to manage a phone solution, but also needed to be able to customize extensions, seamlessly transfer between staff (sometimes in different countries) and be able to set personalized greetings and messages for different numbers and extensions.
We also wanted a solution that seamlessly integrated into our existing CRM and messaging solution and provided detailed analytical tools.

8x8 Series: Great low cost option with limited features
We configured 8x8 Series to have an auto attendant for the main line along with ring groups for the individuals who would respond to calls into the main line. This was a group of 4 individuals who would then forward the calls to the correct person based on need either directly or to their voice mail. The call flow worked properly for the auto attendant
