Pretty good for the basics but if you want more, shop around

We use 8x8 for our phone system. Overall I say it's good and works, but there is definitely room for improvement. In our business model, we have incoming calls try 2 different receptionists; if neither answer it goes to an auto attendant in which gives them an opportunity to leave a VM in a general inbox or dial by name. This is not a typical dial by name in that they can type in a name, but I have to make many sub-menus because there are only 8 slots per menu- so I have to say for last names beginning with A-D press 1, and so on. Changing the sub-menus isn't the most user-friendly out there, for example when we gain or lose an employee and need to change the order of the list (press 1 for John, press 2 for Jane) and transfer to external numbers. You are not able to name the menus either, so when you start getting sub-menu after sub-menu it's a lot harder to know which one you are at. I actually keep a spreadsheet so that I can make sure the audio and transfer numbers are correct since you also cannot name the external numbers. When trying to rearrange the external number order, (when someone belongs in the middle of the list) it messes completely with the current order and numbers and it's better to just start over and enter them in again.
