We absolutely love 8x8 virtual office, we do not see a world where we would switch to a different phone software. If you are looking for a seamless phone software look no further!

Avantages

8x8 virtual office is awesome! There are so many cool features to this software. We have used 8x8 for over 5 years now, customer service has always been super helpful if we ever had any issues or questions. Purchasing new phones for new employees is a breeze, and setting everything up is always straight forward! What more can you ask for? We also love that virtual office has the chat feature, we utilize this daily to chat with all of the employees. We also love that there is a app, all of the employees have this app on their phone and have been using it like their desk phone during this COVID work from home time.

Inconvénients

there are sometimes some delays, but very rarely is there any issues!

8x8 is a solid product that performs well with a strong network or wif-fi signal. Learning library and support are both helpful.

Avantages

The ease of use in the VOIP space is great. It has features of calling using computer, texting (until recently) and faxing which we still use with some of our case management services. Also has virtual meeting options. Intuitive administrative dashboard for onboarding new users and reports.

Inconvénients

Typically, our biggest issue is with the quality of calls. Relies heavily on a strong signal or network that can be challenging for folks in the field. Call quality can suffer and often are dropped. Lately, the loss of the SMS texting has been a blow to our client communication. It has taken weeks to set up the "campaign" and we are still not functional.

Réponse de 8X8

Dear Customer, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's great you find 8x8 a solid product. We apologize you have had difficulties with SMS, campaigns are approved by a third party. Thank you for choosing 8x8!

When we cancelled our service, they admitted they owed us over $9000.00, but have refused to refund our money. Their service team was not able to fix our technical issues. There are much better phone companies out there. Just do not choose this one.

Avantages

Not much. The Cons out-way the Pros. The phone units they provided work, sometimes.

Inconvénients

They lied. They said that they can integrate. But they can't. Do not believe the sales people. They will tell you what you want to hear and not the capabilities of the system.

Overall my organization is very happy with 8x8. It gets the job done at an affordable price, which is perfect for my small team.

Avantages

The text function is gamechanging versus our previous provider. As a nonprofit, it is nice to have the ability to use this as a "personal work" number that people can call/text without having to share my real personal number.

Inconvénients

The most difficult thing about 8x8 is the fact that we cannot text groups. We would love the ability to group program participants into a single message.

Réponse de 8X8

Hi Hillary, thank you for your feedback, we're pleased to hear you are happy with 8x8. We will pass on your comments about group texting to our product team. Thank you!

The Mobile app is awesome. Very easy to use. Favorite feature is the "Flip" which with a press of a button, your desk phone call is flipped to your mobile app.

Inconvénients

Very easy to use. Secure. I can easily transfer calls to co workers while out of the office form my mobile app or desktop app, or from the office from my desk phone. The sound quality is awesome.

I just watched the training video, so i have not had the opportunity to use it. But I do like the features highlighted. Even the ability to switch a call from the PC to a cell phone.

Avantages

Have not used it yet. looking forward to using presence, and quiet hours.

Inconvénients

I wish it were standard with 8x8. I am not sure if this is going to cost more to use / implement. It does solve some of the pain points we have been experiencing between TEAMS and calls from 8x8 interrupting live TEAMS calls / meetings.

I haven't had the experience with another vendor to compare but 8x8 has been ideal for my small business throughout the years of using the service.

Avantages

Quality and price of the product is ideal for small businesses

Inconvénients

Support at times doesn't follow instructions such as requesting email response on an issue and they will call multiple times even after business hours. If reselling the product and you contact support for an issue with a user in that company, they will contact whoever entered the ticket and not the person with issue even if indicating to contact that user with the issue. Poor acknowledgment or reading the requests when entered.

Réponse de 8X8

Hi Cris, we appreciate your feedback. Engineers should not be phoning you outside your working hours, so we will look at providing further training. We're glad you have found 8x8 ideal for your small business.

8x8 is very robust , it packs an all feature experience with self supporting features to configure. Rarely have to call in for support which is good.

Avantages

Inconvénients

The menu hamburger bar has a lot of features that you need to get familiar with. Sometimes finding the right menu can be difficult to find.

Avantages

8x8 has a great amount of features that are very helpful for my day to day. I enjoy being able to quickly look up recordings, navigate routings of the calls and the ability to reject a call, go on break or work offline. It is a software that is relatively easy to use!

With 8x8, you can park your car, transfer calls, and have different phones ring based on who is unavailable. These features are fantastic. It would be wonderful to have more alternatives when deciding between a desk phone and a cell phone, such as the ability to silence calls on a cell phone when in the workplace. When making less straightforward requests, it helps to be able to clearly describe what you need and understand how the system operates. On a few occasions, I had to urge that something could be done even though they insisted it couldn't, and then we worked together to find a solution. While I had a positive experience overall, other members of my organization encountered greater support challenges.

Avantages

8x8 is ideal for small to medium-sized businesses that don't need outbound dialing methods like predictive, progressive, IVR Blast, etc.The greatest platform to use for IB auto-attendant features is 8x8. It's incredibly great and simple to use to construct call flows. The GUI is quite easy to use.

Inconvénients

At least I have not seen any flaws yet in the product, but I hope this is not something serious that we look for in the near future.

Overall, 8x8 is a good option especially if you are starting out with a few users and a small team. It has gone better as well over the years.

Avantages

I like how easy it is to use daily... it is very user friendly in most days and it was not hard to integrate with CRMs.

Inconvénients

The process of engaging support and how long it takes to get anything resolved. Also, how difficult it is to listen to calls (they have to be live calls before you can barge).

One of the worst customer experiences I have ever had

Publié le 16/07/2020

After several back and forth emails with the support team, they tell me to forget about it, I signed an agreement. I have used 8x8 with a previous company and the service was solid so I thought it would be a good fit here. It wasn't and the customer service and support was about as bad as it gets. I understand that they were probably hit with a huge rush of new customers because of work from home, I can attribute that to the delays in getting back to me, but the refusal to not provide a refund or cancel my agreement because of their delayed service is frankly unacceptable.

Avantages

As a cloud-based phone system, that is a huge plus, but there are far too many negatives and so many other options that you can consider in place of 8x8

Inconvénients

Let's talk about deployment. First, it worked quite well on my Android phone, loaded it up and got it going. I did have a number of issues with 'what program' I was on, okay, well not me but 8x8. The reason was they had me sign up two times because I was porting a number in. I opted not to do that until I had tried the program. That is when things didn't go so well.

I have a Chromebook and it took WEEKS for me to get it to work on my Chromebook. The team at 8x8 adequate in responding, but it took a long time. After telling me that I would be unable to use it both on my Chromebook and phone, I decided that this was not the solution for me. So, I canceled my subscription. They then proceed to charge me for full year's worth of service stating that I had signed an agree for 12 months and my trial was over. I had been working with their support team for more than 30 days to get the software to work and I explained that to them (they could also see that I had made less than 5 calls). I offered to pay for the month of service that I had and thought all was good and we were settled.

The next month comes and my card is charged again. I contact them and I am told that the 'cancellation process can take up to 30 days and that I will be refunded when it is all cleared up.' Great, no biggie I think. Then I get an email that says we understand you want to cancel, but we need to charge you the remaining months on your agreement.

Very poor service. Their call center is based in the Philippines and a huge language/sentence structure barrier exists. Every level o support you are transferred to you have to explain yourself multiple multiple times. It is exhaustive and a giant time vacuum. Their administration dashboard is very easy to navigate, but there are 2 to 3 different administration portals that you can access for reporting or analytics, but they contradict. It is almost impossible to figure out individual rep information and the logic in what they display is tied to useless information or information that leads the viewer down the wrong path and can cause a lot of confusion. There is minimal to no support for Mac OS users (we use both Mac and PC) and the versions don't talk to each-other. So our Mac users can not communicate via their chat-ap with our PC users. Overall, its system 'works', but God forbid if anything breaks or you need to expand or anything more complicated than a basic phone ring group needs to be set up. Be prepared to set aside an afternoon at minimum to try and accomplish anything.

Avantages

Response time from support is quick. Online self service portal is a good source of info as well.

Inconvénients

Support language barrier, limited or no Mac OS support, Overly complex reporting features and analytics.

The product is sound and fair but as stated they have a real problem with support. When things are going well it's great. However, when you have a business phone down, it makes for a nasty experience.

Avantages

They can correct the issue once you actually get a person to talk to.

Inconvénients

Connecting to a Rep was beyond challenging. Virtually impossible to talk with someone. They set it up so they send you a message and when they have time .. we'll call you type of service. Totally worthless customer support if that's what they call it. They can do better but only if they really want to gain more customers.

8x8’s technology is mediocre, the call quality poor, and it is significantly priced

Publié le 25/01/2019

Avantages

I am a small business owner. I did extensive research into VoIP providers before selecting 8x8 for my business over three years ago. They had reasonable pricing at the time and offered a discount when I joined if I agreed to sign up for a 12-month term.

Inconvénients

Their platform was not intuitive so the setup was painful. Eventually I was able to get the service up and running for my company. Immediately we noticed that the call quality was poor and unreliable. I had signed up to a 12-month term so we tried to make the most of it. As a new small business we were so busy trying to satisfy our customers that we didn’t have time to search for a new VoIP provider anyway. We suffered through 8x8 for 3+ years. Over time my team started taking calls on their personal cell phone's instead of through the 8x8 computer / mobile app because 8x8’s call quality was so unreliable. I did research and found a much more cost effective solution, which after testing also had better call quality and a more intuitive interface. When I tried to cancel my 8x8 services I was informed that because I had initially signed up for a 12 month term that I would be required to pay for over 6 months of remaining service even if I canceled and transfered the numbers. The services is so horrible that it was worth the ransom to leave 8x8. If you are a small business owner stay away!
