Overall Satisfaction with 8x8 Express

8x8 Express solves the core problem of not having to issue a sim card to our team for calling and then having a centralized database of calls, their recordings, routing rules, and other related analytics

Pros

  • clean interface for calling
  • data looks accurate
  • extensive settings and rules available

Cons

  • do not have self service analytics
  • available reports seem to be too technical - not able to find simpler answers
  • too many products under 8x8 Express. difficult to choose what should be bought.
  • simple interface
  • low call drops
  • rule based routing
  • positive impact - low call drops
  • negative impact - still low visibility on KPIs
Our team told us that rules were not easy to set up as well as the number of call drops was very high. both are resolved with 8x8 Express.

Yes

Would you buy 8x8 Express (discontinued) again?

Yes

As a support user, my main concern is data. Which I am not able to get my hands on very well.
The end users definitely experienced better levels of call reception and user interface and I do not think they have any major complaints with the tool. But as you add management layers, visualizing data becomes important.
