What differentiates 8x8 XCaaS from other similar products?

There is nothing that really differentiates 8x8 from other similar products. It is a basic communication platform similar to Zoom.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

8x8 is very simple and easy to use. It has a nice app layout.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The desktop app always needs to be updated, but it doesn't look any different after it updates. I wish it would auto-update and the upgrades would be more noticable.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

8x8 is a very reliable and easy to use communication system. It has a nice application layout and we rarely have any issues with it.

Powerful features and services, not user friendly.

Likeliness to Recommend

6 /10

What differentiates 8x8 XCaaS from other similar products?

Their unique combination of services and functionality, including voice, video conferencing, team messaging, contact center and analytics, and the relatively seamless integration between everything.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The Universal Team Messaging. In particular, we like that we can bring our own existing messaging app, and using the sameroom feature, have everything running smoothly in 8x8.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Setup and rollout was somewhat technically challenging. Personalization was not intuitive, and neither was the user interface.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Worth checking, but make sure you have the time and technical knowledge to figure things out.

Pros

Helps Innovate

Cons

Slower Product Innovation

Less Efficient Service
