Overall Satisfaction with 8x8 X Series (Formerly Virtual Office)

In addition to providing 8x8 X Series services to my clients, I also use it as my in-house system providing a better means for my customers and prospects to stay in touch with me via voice, text, or video conference. I am a certified Sales Engineer for 8x8 with the ability to perform full Network Analysis testing to confirm the viability of adding a voice application to the users current network.
  • Their Desktop and Mobile apps are well thought out and easy to use.
  • They include all the features into the basic X2 extension that most companies need.
  • They have an excellent migration path into the product as well as growth within the product.
  • Add the voicemail transcription function to the mobile app.
  • Allow admin without X License and phone access to capability to record auto attendant greetings - this was lost between account manager and config manager.
  • Set up "Super User" access to accounts I've setup - one login and select account to work on...
  • It's helpful to show the prospective clients how I use my system and how easy it is to work with.
  • The ability to stay in touch when not at my desk it an enormous benefit.
  • One extension has voice, text, and video conferencing built in - no extra charge.
Much easier to implement new extensions, includes all the feature and apps on the basic X2 license.
The support was better when it was staffed by US based techs that had actually used the product - sometimes, I have more knowledge than the Tier 1 support staff.

Did implementation of 8x8 Work go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy 8x8 Work again?

Yes

I haven't come across a scenario where 8x8 was not well suited - Over the past year, I have not installed any premise based PBX's - 8x8's service has been less expensive to implement, maintain, and has features the older PBX's don't offer. I work in several vertical markets and have been very pleased with how well the product fits all needs.
