What do you like best about 8x8 Work?

I like 8x8 Work because it's pretty easy to use. It's pretty self-explanatory for an end user. You just open it, dial a number, and it works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 8x8 Work?

As an 8x8 Work administrator, it's complicated to set up always. It's not easy to find what you're looking for in order to check settings. It seems to kinda make no sense the way that you set up a phone number, and it just could be a lot easier. The look and feel of it is archaic, it looks like it's from fifteen years ago, that portal.

Response from Alison Stewart of 8x8 Work

These insights go straight to our product teams. We're committed to making every experience as seamless as the calls you're making.

I like the simplistic interface of 8x8 Work. It's not overcomplicated and doesn't feel crowded, which I appreciate. It runs really smooth, making my work communications seamless whether I'm chatting or calling. Also, the initial setup was super easy, which is always a plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 8x8 Work?

Yeah. I wish that we could have, like, a, a text group or, like, an inbound text queue so that, you know, if we got text to, like, a main number, as a group, we could answer those texts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alison Stewart of 8x8 Work

Hi Arthur, Great to hear overall admin management is working well for you! The extension search issue when adding users to ring groups is a frustrating one — thanks for flagging it clearly. We'll make sure this gets raised with our product team.

What do you like best about 8x8 Work?

I like how 8x8 Work helps me keep my team connected and organized by creating groups and easily identifying titles and departments. I appreciate that it offers external SMS, allowing me to message people outside the organization safely. When maintaining department organization, I really like being able to identify who is reaching out to me. I even liked the way they offer a mobile app so I can stay on top of what's required. The initial setup is self-explanatory, with no complex words or technical terms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 8x8 Work?

Nothing in specific, it's been very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Internal Calling with Handy Presence Status"
4.5/5
What do you like best about 8x8 Work?

It’s very easy to make internal calls with coworkers, and I can also quickly see their presence status. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 8x8 Work?

The music on hold is not transferred to parked calls. Also, the admin console sometimes changes settings even when no admin has made any changes. For example, the External caller ID gets changed for no reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alison Stewart of 8x8 Work

Dear Customer, Love that presence status and internal calling are making teamwork so seamless! The music on hold for parked calls and the unexpected settings changes, particularly around external caller ID, are definitely worth investigating. Please raise those with our support team so we can get to the bottom of it quickly!

What do you like best about 8x8 Work?

I like how it is customizable and can be accessed from outside of the office Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 8x8 Work?

Although the customization is great, I find it a little confusing at times, could be more user friendly for people who aren't tech savy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alison Stewart of 8x8 Work

Hi Noelle, Great to hear the flexibility and remote access are working well for your team! Making customization more intuitive for non-technical users is valuable feedback we'll pass along. And it's brilliant that call recordings and email transcripts are powering your training and management, exactly what we love to hear!

"Streamlines Call Management, Excellent Support"
5/5
What do you like best about 8x8 Work?

I like how 8x8 Work allows us to take a large number of calls from different numbers and route them all into one phone line that can be easily managed. The customer service is really great if you ever have any issue. They are very helpful and will solve whatever the problem is. I also found the initial setup to be very simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 8x8 Work?

The spam number blocking leaves a lot to hope for, because it's a lot of different phone numbers all being routed into one number. So when I block a spam call, they can just call on one of our other lines, and it is still able to get through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alison Stewart of 8x8 Work

Dear Christian, Thank you for the great feedback! We're happy 8x8 Work is streamlining your call management, and our support team has been helpful. We sincerely hear your concerns about spam blocking and will share your feedback with our team to help improve it!

"Decent VOIP Solution with Billing Challenges"
2.5/5
What do you like best about 8x8 Work?

I use 8x8 Work for helpdesk IT purposes, and I like that it provides VOIP instead of relying on physical phones. The feature that allows us to sync 8x8 Work with Teams is particularly helpful. Additionally, having the capability to manage users effectively is something I appreciate about the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 8x8 Work?

The billing process didn't cancel the unwanted licenses in time, which was frustrating. The team handling that part really needs to do their job better. The initial setup wasn't easy, according to my team, though they eventually figured it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alison Stewart of 8x8 Work

Dear Salim, Thank you for the positive feedback on our Teams integration and user management! We sincerely apologize for the billing and setup frustrations — that's not the experience we want for you, and we're committed to inproving the process.
