Overall Satisfaction with 8x8 X Series

We currently use 8x8 X for phones and fax. Never had any issues. They are great at sending updates. So much easier not having a fax machine. We fax to the IRS constantly. I would highly recommend the 8x8 X over any Voice Over IP products on the market. Will definitely renew this service.

8x8 X is the only product we have used; therefore, the only product I have reviewed. Before 8x8 X, we just had a regular phone and fax system for 25 years. This is a very needed and helpful upgrade. All employees spend less time taking care of their phone calls and sending faxes. Employees now have the opportunity to work from home because of the phone app that is available.

Using 8x8 X Series

10 - We have ten employees; one works from home, so she has the app downloaded on her cell phone. She never has any issues, as we never have any issues here at the office either. We are an accounting firm that spends a lot of time on the phone with clients and with the IRS.

All our employees love this product. No one has ever had an issue, whether it be the phone or fax. Great during the winter when employees have to work from home because of the snow. Never had an issue with the phone app. Highly recommend this product.

Evaluating 8x8 X Series and Competitors

Yes - 8x8 X was replaced by a regular phone system that we had for 25 years. It also replaced our standing fax machine. This system is a great update for our company. Saves time on phone calls and faxing. Tremendous upgrade to those who can now work from home because of the telephone app.

Our IT department actually suggested the 8x8 X as that is what they were using at the time. We are very happy that this product was recommended to our company. We have saved time and money with this product. Employees can now even work from home because of the telephone app that is available for their cell phone.
If I had to do it over, I would not change anything in my evaluation or selection process. Our company is very happy with this product. It has saved us time and money. We also have fewer machines sitting around, taking up space.

8x8 X Series Implementation

The implementation of 8x8 X was rather smooth. We had training prior to getting the system. The IT company did a good job on the training. The whole system is wonderful. Saves me so much time with the faxing, as i can just let it go by itself and not have to make sure pages don't get skipped, as with a regular fax machine.
  • Third-party professional services
Our IT company performed the implementation, as they were using you guys already at the time of start-up for our company. The 8x8 X system has been a godsend. Saves so much time and money. The product is clearly worth the price. Great service and always updating the product
Change management was a minor issue with the implementation - There was very minimal change implementation as this product is very user-friendly. So easy to use whether it's the phone system, the app on your cell phone, or the fax system. Highly recommend the 8x8 X, as any company will love this product and the time and money it saves them.
  • Wifi issues.
  • Faxing without a machine.
  • Setting up names on the phones.

Using 8x8 X Series

The 8x8 X product is a product that is very user-friendly. I am not that good with electronics and I have no issues, even with the numerous upgrades they send. Faxing is a godsend, as no machine is needed and it is very easy to do. The whole product is great.

  • Telephone app to use at home.
  • Faxing
  • Ability to check messages at home because they come through email.
  • There are no difficult or cumbersome issues with the 8x8 X.
Yes - The 8x8 X app for the cell phone works wonderfully. None of our employees have ever had an issue with the app. We have one employee who strictly works at home so this is the only product she uses for a phone, outside the office. When the weather is bad and employees do not come in, there have been no issues either. The product is great all the away around.
