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

We use 8x8 as our sole phone/communication system company-wide. We are a private healthcare company with two separate office locations. Additionally, we have several employees who work remotely. 8x8 allows our employees to communicate seamlessly. We replaced our old traditional phone system with 8x8 about 4 years ago. When our phone system/power would go out, patients could not reach our office. It was the best decision we could have made, especially now that we are living in a pandemic and have shifted a percentage of our workers to remote, safe locations such as their homes.
  • Remote: Work from anywhere.
  • Meetings: Secure video chat with teammates.
  • Highly customizable
  • The new admin console is somewhat glitchy, it won't load certain pages correctly
  • The migration from Virtual Office to X Series was somewhat painful—many glitches that broke the system down and severely impacted our business.
  • Disappointed that extensions need to be 4 numbers instead of 1.
  • ROI
  • Remote collaboration
  • Security/compliance

Would you buy 8x8 Work again?

Any company that utilizes phones for communication should use VOIP. 8x8 X Series specifically is a very customizable product that is well suited for any such business. I can't think of a single scenario where VOIP 8x8 X Series would not be appropriate. It has plenty of bells and whistles
