"Simple Call Forwarding Setup as a Single Point of Contact"
4/5
What do you like best about 8x8 Work?

We have been able to use it as a single point of contact for our on call resources as a call forwarding service. Once set up, it is simple to change how the calls are directed (though there is a limit to how many contacts can be set up to switch between at one time) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 8x8 Work?

There seems to be a fairly low limit to the number of contact numbers for forwarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alison Stewart of 8x8 Work

Dear Customer, Great to hear 8x8 Work has become such a reliable single point of contact for your on-call routing! We'll ensure that feedback reaches our product team. Thanks for sharing how you're putting it to work!

Very easy UI on the Admin portal and detailed analytics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 8x8 Work?

There is no ability to block numbers on DIDs configured to Ring Groups or Auto Attendants, which is a bit frustrating for a business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Crystal, Thanks for the kind words on our Admin portal UI and analytics! We hear you on number blocking for Ring Groups and Auto Attendants — that's valuable feedback we'll pass along. Glad the contact center solution is making a real difference to your call flows!

"Effortless Communication Across Devices"

I find 8x8 Work very convenient as I can receive calls on both my cell phone and PC. It fits my needs in terms of access to contacts and making calls. I use my contacts a lot and appreciate being able to search for the people I need to access easily without issue. The initial setup was very straightforward and easy to follow and execute.

"Reliable, Cost-Effective Cloud PBX Solution"
4/5
What do you like best about 8x8 Work?

I really appreciate how 8x8 Work is a reliable cloud-based PBX solution. It's very reliable and rarely has downtime. I also find it extremely easy to set up and maintain, especially compared to a traditional on-premise PBX system, which was a night and day difference. It's definitely worth it and is much cheaper than a traditional PBX on-premise system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 8x8 Work?

I just wish that the updates were on a less frequent interval. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alison Stewart of 8x8 Work

Hi Harry, Great to hear the move to cloud PBX has been such a game-changer in reliability and cost savings! We appreciate the feedback on update frequency — we're always balancing improvements with minimising disruption. Happy to be the low-maintenance solution keeping your communications running smoothly!

"Confusing Interface Hampers User Experience"
1/5
What do you like best about 8x8 Work?

I like that the app works well. I'm able to forward my work phone to my cell phone and make calls through my 8x8 Work number on my cell. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 8x8 Work?

It is very confusing to our users. Most of them are in the Call Center, but voice mail and messaging are through the 8x8 Work and they get the two confused very easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alison Stewart of 8x8 Work

Hi Lisa, Great to hear call forwarding is keeping you connected on the go — that flexibility is what we're all about! We appreciate the honest feedback on the Contact Center/Work app experience for your team. Thank you!

"Great for SMS and Voicemail, but Limited Integrations and MFA Reliability"
3/5
What do you like best about 8x8 Work?

It’s good for receiving and sending SMS, calls, and voicemail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 8x8 Work?

It doesn't integrate with a lot of other software and it's not good for code testing as there is a limit of 20 in a certain time period. Sometimes sms for MFA doesn't work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alison Stewart of 8x8 Work

Hi Christopher, Glad the SMS, calling, and voicemail experience is working well and keeping you off your personal phone! The integration limitations, SMS rate caps for code testing, and MFA delivery issues are all valuable feedback; we'll make sure they reach the right team. Thanks for sharing!

"Comprehensive UCaaS with Stellar Voice Quality"
4/5
What do you like best about 8x8 Work?

I use 8x8 Work as a full UCaaS platform for day-to-day communications, handling voice, calling, team chat, video meetings, SMS, and faxing all in one place. The integration with Microsoft Teams makes it easy to manage calls and messages without switching between apps. I love the calling experience, with HD voice quality being a huge upgrade from our old systems, and it's been very reliable. Additionally, the video calling runs smoothly with great audio quality, making meetings seamless. Whenever I've needed help, the support team has been great to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 8x8 Work?

I'd like to see more support based in the USA. While the overseas support team is usually helpful and communicates well, sometimes it's easier and quicker to work with someone local who understands the environment and time zones. The initial setup was tough. The foreign based support teams did not communicate an efficient way to migrate data from our old system to the new system. If I knew now what I didn't know back then I probably could have cut the setup time in half. Once it was up and running it's been solid but the rollout definitely had a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alison Stewart of 8x8 Work

Hi Brett, we love hearing that 8x8 Work's unified platform, HD voice, and seamless Microsoft Teams integration have been a "solid" upgrade for your day-to-day communications! Your feedback regarding the initial setup and local support is extremely valuable, and we are working hard to enhance those aspects of the customer experience.
