Best in class service, but they gouge you over time
The service is great, and the mobile app was best in class
CONSWe had outages more than other services and we they quietly hiked out prices overtime and it ended up as a rip off.
Reason for choosing 8x8 Contact Center
We ultimately chose jive for pricing

not the best, maybe the cheapest
definitely have had highs and lows. the support team has been nice and pleasant, but the issues have felt continuous and as soon as one issue is resolved, another pops up.
PROSit was the more economic route, and the support team has been great. but the overall function and use has been abysmal.
CONSthe fact that it took 3 months to get it to successfully work with our crm, which was the whole reason we went with 8x8.

8x8 Contact Center is a wise choice
So far, so good. As soon as everyone learned how to use it (which was easy, to be honest), we got so used to it that it would be hard to switch it at this time.
PROSWe really like the "click to dial" feature. It helped us a lot to avoid dialing to wrong numbers. The integration with our ERP system also makes it easier to control when the last call was placed to xyz customer
CONSNot a deal breaker, but if we could choose an announcement to play during the "this call is being recorded" message, it would be great!
Reason for choosing 8x8 Contact Center
It looked like a good investiment. No regrets, we were right about it.
Reasons for switching to 8x8 Contact Center
Because our legacy phone system was really old and we were looking for a better way to have users working from their home without the complication of using VPN routers.

Best Multifunction
The features are wonderful and the multi-functions such as Caller ID, Missed Calls, Voicemails, and faxing! The settings are easy to set up for all functions. Searching by name, departments, group. The voice message is typed out as well as recorded! For faxing- confirmations are sent with details of date and time with how many pages sent.
CONSI have not found one thing that I do not like about 8x8 Contact Center.
Reasons for switching to 8x8 Contact Center
We needed a program that could handle all of our needs.

8 X 8 Contact Center Review
One system that covers most all communication needs for the corporation.
CONSThe sharable daskboard feature is only available in the VCC and not in the VO. We would VERY MUCH Like the VCC and VO's to be comined or at a minimum to have the sharable dashboard (that is vital to the employees so that can see the true real-time status of the call center) be an option in the VO.

A tad expensive for what it is and technical / relationship support is terrible
Pretty good kit overall but it is expensive and not necessarily worth the extra expense unless you fully utilise all the capability and get proper support, which is where it does fall down - terrible support team.
PROSSo many good features like pre-recorded script playback, speech analytics, cloud call recording and playback with speech to text, IVR set up and flexibility is good, skillset management is good, MI reporting is pretty good.
CONSGoes down from time to time but not as often as prior software we used, releases seem to break things, for example they depricated key functionality with no recognition or knowledge when escalated (not addressed after 6 months), terrible support team who know nothing about their product, silly desktop app not fully integrated with browser interface.
Reason for choosing 8x8 Contact Center
Primarily down to speech analytics (which we haven't fully exploited yet) and pre-recorded scripts (agents own voice) for post-sale regulatory wrap up which has since been broken for 6 months!
Reasons for switching to 8x8 Contact Center
Switched in March 2021 as we wanted something with better technical capability and Horizon was quite old technology with limited investment and poor record of down time.

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!
PROSIt 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.
CONSI can't think of anything negative to say about this software. The cost, support, and platform are everything we need.

Reliable Platform for your OTP Deliverability & IVR!
I would rate 8X8 7/10. It's a good & reliable platform with a wide range of offerings in a single roof.
PROSThey have high deliverability percentages for OTP, that too at a reasonable cost. Logs and analytics to see your usage add to transparency. Cheer on the top is their active & supportive customer success team!
CONSThe integration process takes a lot of time and is certainly not hassle-free, as claimed by the salesperson. They experience a lot of small outages on a day-to-day basis. I would recommend subscribing to their Status Page to keep yourself & your team updated on the outages
Reason for choosing 8x8 Contact Center
Pricing was high for the same offerings on the alternative products!

8x8 Contact Center Review
The overall experience has been good. From time to time we do have issues that affect all of the agents but for the most part it has been stable and easy to use.
PROSI like that it is always being upgraded with new features added. They seem to use the feedback given to make the product better.
CONSHaving to have both the Agent Workspace interface and 8x8 Work open for the calls to work. I do know that the beta is out where you will only need Workspace open but have not tested it yet.
Reason for choosing 8x8 Contact Center
8x8 personalized their recommendations for a new system to us rather than Ring Central just saying they can do it without really digging in to find out what we really needed.
Reasons for switching to 8x8 Contact Center

Terrible Customer Service and They Won't Let You Cancel
I'm just so glad we're not using it anymore. Now, we're fighting them on the $8,000 ransom. They are threatening to send us to collections. Do you want to go through this?
PROSIt worked OK for us for nearly 10 years but was always clunky, requiring separate logins to different apps.
CONSCustomer service was worse than horrible! Always offshore call centers reading scripts. Our main line number was suddenly ringing on 1 person's extension instead of going through call distribution. Service people had no clue and gave instructions based on a different platform. They promised call backs or resolutions that never came. It went on for a WEEK of a major disruption for our business. We decided that was the last straw and switched to a different (MUCH BETTER) system. Now they want to charge us an $8,000 ransom to "buy out" the rest of our contract. What they won't tell you when you buy is clicking to accept locks you into a perpetual contract that renews every year with no provision for customers to leave even if the service is terrible.

CONSThe support is TERRIBLE. Impossible to ever get a live person. Once you reach someone level one can never fix your problem. Level 2 never contacts you back. They don't seem to have any sense of urgency. My call center has been down for DAYS and no one seemed to care. Support is BAD BAD BAD BAD.

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.
PROSWe 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.
CONSSometimes 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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSNothing major. The setup size of windows applications is very large, can be reduced. Because the Android and iOS application sizes are small.

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.
PROS8x8 is great to use to facilitate communication between techs and office staff and office staff and customers.
CONSThe 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.
PROSI 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.
CONSI have had several issues with this software that after multiple contacts with customer support have still not been resolved.

8x8 Review
I use 8x8 daily at my job to provide support to our companies users. It is very easy to use and I love how obvious the notifications are when a call comes in. I can be working on anything at any time and 8x8 does a great job of letting me know when a call comes in. It is a great option for providing technical support.
CONSI have found that from time to time my audio gets very quiet to the person I am speaking to and I need to make an adjustment to the volume mid call. That can be frustrating.
