What differentiates Experience Communications Platform from other similar products?

8x8 Call Center is much easier to manage than in-house PBX, and because it is cloud-based, it allows users to work from anywhere. The ease of implementation was greater, and the cost lower, with 8x8 than with alternatives we considered.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Centralized management is easy to use, and productivity has been increased overall through centralized communications throughout our organization, minimized IT support requirements, and it allowing our users to be productive from a work at the home environment - or from anywhere else that they might go!

What do you dislike most about this product?

8x8 Customer Service could be a little better. They are not always the quickest to resolve issues, and sometimes they try to deny responsibility for certain issues as well.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

8x8 Contact Center technology works well for our small business, allowing us to centralize our communications despite having a geographically diverse workforce with most employees working from different locations or their own homes.
