Overall Satisfaction with 8x8 Contact Center

8x8, combined with ContactNow is our company-wide telephone service that is used by our service customers as well. We based our call management on it.
  • Phone quality is very good.
  • The user-interface is easy to manage.
  • It silently drops the connection without any sign.
  • It sometimes fails to recognize the audio devices despite the fact that all other computer software is able to use it.
  • We use 8x8 in our service call center. Customers calling our hotline and not getting connected since 8x8 dropped all connections, isn't what you'd want to happen. Surely this draws a bad image on the reachability and response time of our service center.
Unfortunately, our management is in contact with 8x8 support and has been for quite a while and they still are unable to fix our issues.

Do you think 8x8 Contact Center delivers good value for the price?

No

Yes

Did 8x8 Contact Center live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of 8x8 Contact Center go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy 8x8 Contact Center again?

To be honest, with these connection drops happening quite regularly and totally silent (without any notice), I cannot recommend this product for any business usage at all.
