Well rounded program
Pros
I love the voicemail feature. Made it easy when you are on the go. And the fax feature. No need for a fax machine with that!
Cons
We had some issues with the phone system but the overall web features were great

Best VOIP option
We use the 8x8 Contact Center for all of our phone needs in all of our offices. We use it to pull call reports, forward our calls to our answering service, and to forward calls to external cell phones in case of an emergency. We are very pleased!
Pros
It is so easy to use! The virtual account center is so easy to use and troubleshoot. I can pull call reports for any phone extension or ring group in seconds. Customer support is easy to get a hold of and our sales rep always answers back within 24 hours. We reach out to support once in a blue moon since 8x8 is so easy to use. Although we primarily use the desktop account center, we have been increasingly been using the phone app to work from home. It is so simple to use. Lastly, the cost is also unbeatable. We've enjoyed a years long business relationship with 8x8 and will continue to do so.
Cons
I can't think of anything negative to say about this software. The cost, support, and platform are everything we need.

8x8 Contact Center: Less than Perfect Customer Service
8x8 Contact Center helped us a lot when we began working remotely, setting up the application on our personal use computer and cell phone, etc. In the months since the pandemic began it has become increasingly difficult to speak to a person at the contact center however and the tier system they use to escalate issues is inefficient.
Pros
8x8 is great to use to facilitate communication between techs and office staff and office staff and customers.
Cons
The system is glitchy and customer service is not always responsive- due in part to the pandemic and also because support staff work from overseas.

8X8 REVIEW
Overall, the issues that we have had outweigh the positives and I don't think we will continue to use them once our contract is up.
Pros
I like that I am able to have calls forwarded to my cell while I am not in the office and that I can call clients from the app and it displays our office number and not my cell.
Cons
I have had several issues with this software that after multiple contacts with customer support have still not been resolved.

Good phone alternative
Yesterday I went on the chat to get help in something I messed up. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] Customer Support Representative fixed it immediately, she was professional, pleasant and helpful. It was a pleasure to deal with her.
Pros
We first started using 8x8 when we got away from the high price of traditional phone companies. I like that it is internet-based so no need for expensive wiring, easy to move, the ability to forward the phones to a cell phone especially in an emergency, and it allows me to track calls.
Cons
Sometimes it is difficult to figure out the features. Sometimes the phone has to be reset because of noise interference.

Virtual Mobile Phone and Best tool for NOC or ITO
We have been using this software from past 10 months. We were using Bria and the application was hanging a lot and our NOC team was missing call which was not accepted. We switched to 8x8 and now number of drop calls has been reduced to extent.
Pros
The functionality on this software is same as mobile phone. Makes calling ease. Best android and ios application compare to other soft phones available in market.
Cons
Nothing major. The setup size of windows applications is very large, can be reduced. Because the Android and iOS application sizes are small.

Excellent System for Low Price
Pros
The ease of using the virtual desktop app without the hassel that other phone systems have. Users are able to set their own caller id which is a huge help when needing to change numbers
Cons
The biggest con of all, is the difficulty to add or change virtual numbers. In a call center that has to change numbers often, it is a huge hassle to have to go through the sales rep every time there is a need to make a change.

The service is great, and the mobile app was best in class

Finally found our solution
No more having to switch to personal cell use for business purposes due to current provider down time.
Pros
This VoIP software is what will solve our glitches with what product we are currently using. 99.997% up time, only pay per user, free phone with contract. Mobile office, multiple phones ringing to reach each employee, additional voice mail boxes, and many other features.
Cons
A bit tricky learning a new interface/ order of things to adjust the settings, but can be learned.

8x8 review
Overall, I have not been satisfied with 8x8 and we plan to use a different system once our contract is up.
Pros
I like that with 8x8 you have the ability to not only access from the office but also from your home computer or the mobile app.
Cons
I have had many issues with 8x8. We have periods where our phone system stops working and I've had to contact the contact center and they have not been able to resolve the issues we have been having.

Excellent Solution
We are a large, global company (over 8,000 employees) with multi location call centers where we have blended agents (inbound, outboud) leveraging 8x8's multi channel VCC solution for IVR, Chat, Email, Screensharing & Video Virtual Agents. We tried a few solutions before 8x8 but none of them lived to expectations. Pros - Scale of solution - Global reach - Reliability - Security - Compliance - Ease of use - Integration with Saleaforce, Oracle, SAP, Zendesk, SugarCRM, Microsoft - Quick, easy implementation - Support (rarely needed) - ACD - Multi Channel (dare I say Omni-Channel) - API with 3rd party data systems - Call recordings - Work Force Management Cons - none

Helps Keep Up With Calls
Pros
Helps receive and monitor calls on mobile even after hours. This way you can do call backs to keep clients happy. Very good for small business with a lot of time on mobile, busy office or fieldwork.
Cons
Lag in call re-direct to mobile which may be frustrating to clients calling in as well as poor call quality.

Pretty Good
We use 8x8 in our office and it has been a good experience. We have run into connectivity problems in the past and the support was a bit slow to get things fixed. Typically they would just tell us what the issue was with no solution, but that also is a rarity. Overall it has been a great product and service for our company.
