Overall Satisfaction with 8x8 Express

Cloud-hosted VoIP solution that offers advanced features for a low cost, with no need to maintain on-site hardware. Softphones allow flexibility for remote workers which was a major requirement during the pandemic that switched our company to home working. Ability to implement auto dialing and a full IVR system with voicemail. Flexibility to redirect calls.
  • Well Priced.
  • IVR
  • Softphone / Hardphone support.
  • Support is not the most reactive.
  • GUI can be rather complicated.
  • No SMS support.
  • Softphone
  • IVR
  • Low Cost
  • Allowed quick switch to home working.
  • Flexibility for users to redirect calls.
  • Good reporting to see where extra capacity was needed.
8x8 has a much lower cost that avaya for the same features. 8x8 is a bit more user friendly than some other larger well established brands. It still uses industry standards in terminology and call flows to for anyone with voip experience its a pain free switch to make over.
