Not sure which one we have used in the past, but we are very happy with 8x8. We have become so used to it that we do not see the need of switching. Price is comfortable and it has been effective for our needs. It's easy and comfortable to use.

I have used Voip systems before and even bought and installed a PBX phone system and wired all the desks in. This is by far the cheapest option, its easy to use and easy to add new users.

Vonage more expensive for the features. no integration to ERP, but compatible to a lager variety of phone equipment.

Chose 8x8 Work
8x8 Work offers all we need in an easy-to-use format. Zoom seemed to have too many features that are not required and can be overwhelming to Users who are not the most Tech-Savvy. The price point of 8x8 is great, too. Get everything we need at a low cost.

8x8 WorkZoiper
Likelihood to Recommend
8x8 Work is an ideal communication platform for intra-organization communication; it is very easy to find any employee at my firm and quickly ascertain their availability. I don't like for outside clients to know my direct line, so I would like to be able to mask my number in outgoing texts/display our general reception number so that those clients are not confused on how best to call in to me.

Pros
  • Direct calls to the extensions.
  • Callers were able to either talk to our individual staff members or leave a message.
  • We loved having a record of every single call that came in for CRM purposes.
  • We loved being able to collect our messages from the console.

Cons
  • The auto attendant has built in text-to-speech, but this same engine should be put to use for individual and ring group voicemail messages.
  • Call forwarding in the mobile app should be relocated for easier access. Instead it's buried somewhere under the generic "account settings"
  • The default user template disables voicemail text transcription. Why???
  • One fax number should be accessible by app for more than 1 user. Responsibility for faxes is usually distributed among a few people in a typical small office setting.
  • Ability to receive and send SMS messages from a shared "main company number" would be awesome. Ability to assign this to certain users would rock!

Usability
I'm not using it to its full capacity like a Zoom or teams Workspace. I use the service for phone calls, hate application on my cellphone and the voicemail apparatus. This we like because it gives us the feel of a large firm when we aren't.

i give it this rating because i rarely use it, and when we use it its just for simple calling

Reliability and Availability
In the time I have used 8x8 Virtual Office, the core system has been up and running almost flawlessly though we do have a slight performance degradation from time to time as is expected of cloud software. The one recurring issue for us is that the fax connection is not always functional for outbound messages. We usually have to retry three or four times to get the fax to connect reliably to the destination machine. Once connected, it's smooth sailing.

Performance
No problems with performance, Pages load as they should. I can't answer on the reports side as only a handful of our Admins ( call center ) currently use that side of the software. It does intergrate very well with Office for meetings and conferences. Sometimes there is a slight lag or static when users are talking, but we found this to be a cause of a users computer had not restarted in a while, Once the user restarts thier computer the problem is resolved, So this is not an issue with 8x8

In-Person Training
The person giving the training was very engaged, He also listened and answered all the questions. He created a video for our company while he was training in case we needed to reference it again in the future. The questions he could not answer were answered within 24 hours via an email to the IT support staff here so we could share the answers with the rest of the group

Return on Investment
  • Moving to 8x8 Work helped us consolidate our soft phone and IVR needs with our contact center platform and save thousands in the first year alone.
  • All of the 8x8 Work products I've worked with have great integration options from CRMs like Zoho/Salesforce to Google and Microsoft Office.

  • I think Zoiper is a huge help to our company needs. Without it, we wouldn't be able to provide such a quick customer support by phone.
  • At times, it's hard to hear people through Zoiper. So, we have to ask customers the same questions multiple times.
