Overall Satisfaction with 8x8 Contact Center

8 X 8 Contact Center makes daily tasks more accessible and more efficient by providing business features to save time. My favorite feature is the ability to fax. You enter the number to fax to and attach documents; you can use default notification or add your personal greeting and click send. Once your fax has been sent, you receive a confirmation immediately. Simple, fast, and accessible. The status is a great feature as well. Callers within your organization will know when you are in a meeting or out to lunch. You can change your settings to reflect out-of-office for vacations, conferences, etc. Changing your greetings is as easy as 1-2-3.

Pros

  • Customer Service.
  • Instructions
  • Voice Messages.
  • Caller ID.

Cons

  • All is great!
  • More calls mean more payments from customers.
  • Faxing has the advantage of saving time by not having to go to the fax machine with loose papers, jamming, or being out of order.
  • Caller Identification lets your return calls at a click of a button.
The system is wonderful! The quality of customer service is absolutely amazing! The system has so many features that are easy to use and is able to save time by combining tasks into one location! No need to have a fax machine and you can send text messages to co-workers! The feature to record calls provides short cuts to listen to previous calls so if you forgot or were unsure of information of the call, it is a click of a button to review the actual call!
With 8x8 Contact Center, help is only seconds away! The features of Caller ID, Voice Mail, Recorded Calls, Missed Calls, Customer Service, and Dialpad calling from anywhere on your computer! It is fast and easy to maneuver through and the information is at your fingertips! The notification feature lets you know when you have an incoming call or messages.

Using 8x8 Contact Center

1500 - We use 8 x8 for all telephone calls - incoming and going out, voicemail, tracking missed calls, to locate contacts, and for messaging, faxing, receiving faxes, verifying co-workers' status. There are so many wonderful features! It is a very easy system to utilize for every day! The caller ID feature is great as well.
  • Telephones
  • Voicemail
  • Faxing
  • Listen to the records of the calls whether incoming or outgoing.
  • Open for suggestions
8 x 8 is not an ordinary system, it works well for everyday business and assists in working efficiencies. So much is required for credentialing and re-credentialing. 8 x 8 takes out a lot of the extra steps by providing smarter working features that saves time and money. Also, when faxing, once the fax is complete, you receive an actual confirmation! Absolutely love this feature.

Evaluating 8x8 Contact Center and Competitors

Yes - Mitel - the Mitel system was not able to provide the features that we require to perform our jobs.
  • Ease of Use
The most important thing is the ability to maneuver easily to features without having to guess where to go to perform what was needed to complete the task. Also, the ability to integrate with other systems. We wanted to make it easy without the challenge of using multiple systems to complete one job.
With coming from multiple systems to with the challenge of trying to find features and not to get lost from going in and out of screens, 8 x8 makes it easier with just a click of a button. I would have gotten 8 x 8 in the very beginning if I had known about 8 x 8.

8x8 Contact Center Implementation

The transition from Mitel to 8 x 8 was smooth and no "hiccups". The support was one of the best that we had received. No surprises except what 8 x 8 is actually capable of doing! Support remained available throughout the transition! Co-workers were amazed at what they were able to do with having 8 x 8,
Change management was minimal

8x8 Contact Center Support

The most amazing thing is the customer service. The representatives are considerate, quick to resolve issues and follow up. If they are unable to provide a solution to your issue/s, they will investigate. Once they have figured out the solution, they call you and walk you through the issue, explaining the how and whys. Customer service is no important. They respect you and your time.

Quick Initial Response
Escalation required
I am not sure if I have the premium support as it is a corporate decision through IT department.
It was a time when my faxing option was not working. Working in credentialing, I require a lot of faxes to go through. I contacted 8x8 support and within a matter of minutes, I was able to fax and receive faxes. This did not interfere with my other functions with my telephone.
