"Simplified Communication with a Solid Mobile App"
4.5/5
What do you like best about 8x8 Work?

I really like using the mobile app of 8x8 Work and prefer it over a desk phone any day. As a support rep, I find the SMS features excellent. Additionally, the setup process was a lot easier than I anticipated and much simpler than using our previous Cisco system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 8x8 Work?

The only thing that I think could be improved is the Faxing, but it's E Fax and it's not the most reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alison Stewart of 8x8 Work

Dear Jacob, Thrilled the mobile app and SMS features are making your support work so much smoother — and great to hear the switch from Cisco was easier than expected! We take your point on eFax reliability and will pass that feedback along. Thanks for being such an enthusiastic advocate for the platform!

"Seamless Connectivity with Simple Pricing"
5/5
What do you like best about 8x8 Work?

I really like 8x8 Work for its simplicity and straightforward pricing model. It's definitely far better than the other competitors that I have used in the past. The initial setup was really easy, just a matter of porting over the existing number and downloading the software to my mobile and desktop. Since I use a Mac, it was very easy to set up and install, and I was up and running within a matter of hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 8x8 Work?

I would like it if there was a button to click to call immediately visible on the keypad, instead of having to scroll through options to record calls. But this is very minor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alison Stewart of 8x8 Work

Hi Julian, Thank you for sharing your experiences with 8x8 Work! We're glad that you appreciate its simplicity and ease of setup, especially on your Mac. Your feedback on the call button visibility is valuable, and we'll consider it for future improvements. We're delighted that 8x8 Work enhances your mobility and office connectivity!

I really enjoy how 8x8 Work compartmentalizes the various actions you can do. It's super easy for me to locate voicemails, texts, call history, and contacts at a glance.

"Great Connectivity but Notification Overload"
5/5
What do you like best about 8x8 Work?

I like how 8x8 Work keeps me connected to my coworkers. I appreciate that I don't have to give out my personal cell phone number because I can use the 8x8 application on my phone. I also like the chat feature and how I can see everyone in my company on the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 8x8 Work?

I don't like the constant notifications I get when the application is down. One day it went down and my phone was blowing up from the notifications 8x8 Work was sending me regarding the status. I think they should be spaced out, so they aren't so close together. Maybe limit it to once every 30-60 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alison Stewart of 8x8 Work

Dear Customer, Protecting your personal number while staying fully connected — that's the freedom 8x8 Work is built for! Your feedback on status notification frequency is really valuable and well-noted. We want to keep you informed without the overwhelm. Thanks for sharing!

"Easy Admin Management, SAML Integration, and Top-Tier 8x8 Uptime"
4.5/5
What do you like best about 8x8 Work?

From an Admin standpoint; it is easy to manage accounts and call flows; including the SAML integration for user authentication.

The uptime of 8x8 network is top tier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 8x8 Work?

The one feature that 8x8 has lacked since the start is the ability to export call flows ( AA / Ring Groups) from the system; along with the ability to see what Ring group a user is part of via the user management section. Having either of these would make a system administrator happy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alison Stewart of 8x8 Work

Dear Customer, Love hearing that our network uptime and SAML integration are making life easier for your admins! Your feedback on exporting call flows and Ring Group visibility in user management is noted — great suggestions. Reliable customer engagement is what we're all about, and we're glad we're delivering that consistently!
