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

Room for improvement, but overall good
Reviewed on 2024/07/26
Pros
Queue system is good, overall setup is fairly simple & can be changed to fit users needs for the most part.
Cons
Support can be hard to deal with/not understand problems properly making it hard to get things resolved.
Do not like having to have two things to use one system. One application/one website.

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.
Pros
it was the more economic route, and the support team has been great. but the overall function and use has been abysmal.
Cons
the fact that it took 3 months to get it to successfully work with our crm, which was the whole reason we went with 8x8.

very positive. We have also a very qualified expert on the system in our company that can help out on short notice if changes need to be made.
Pros
We have a quite complicated setup with several types of lines in 7 languages that are managed well with 8x8 contact center with little downtime
Cons
Quite complicated way to set up scripts and hard to copy paste in the structure so a lot of manual work to program them.

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.
Pros
We 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
Cons
Not a deal breaker, but if we could choose an announcement to play during the "this call is being recorded" message, it would be great!

Implementation took an extremely long time, but we were compensated with free months of service. Wish you could drop users in the middle of a contract term like you can with competitors

My overall experience is very good with the contact center. There are a lot of things that can be fixed or done better, but at this moment in time, the contact center really does wonders for out team and productivity with our customers.
Pros
The best thing I like about the 8x8 contact center is the ease of transferring calls through the queues. It really makes it seamless when one user is unable to answer the phone.
Cons
I do not like how we have to go through two clicks and menus to go online and on break. It would be better if the buttons were at the top of the contact center for us to just click once without going through a pop-up pane window on the left.

8 X 8 Contact Center Review
Reviewed on 2024/04/02
Pros
One system that covers most all communication needs for the corporation.
Cons
The 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.

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.
Pros
So 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.
Cons
Goes 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.

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.
Pros
I like that it is always being upgraded with new features added. They seem to use the feedback given to make the product better.
Cons
Having 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.

VCC Review
Reviewed on 2023/11/10
Pros
It's reliable and not experienced any interruption in service. Agent Workspace is a nice upgrade.
Cons
A drag & drop scripting interface is needed.
Need to add ability to copy settings between users.
Could use better text to speach. The ability to easily use 3rd party would be nice.

Reviewed on 2024/01/31
Pros
Easy to use. Can easily add/manage users. Easy to change the hours and days of operations. Can alter script or messages on an as-needed basis with little difficulty.
Cons
The 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.

I would rate 8X8 7/10. It's a good & reliable platform with a wide range of offerings in a single roof.
Pros
They 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!
Cons
The 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

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?
Pros
It worked OK for us for nearly 10 years but was always clunky, requiring separate logins to different apps.
Cons
Customer 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.
