8x8 Work vs. Nextiva

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.

We switched from Comcast years ago and haven't looked back. Nextiva has been an excellent choice for us. There has been minimal downtime, an easy-to-configure website, and fantastic live chat customer support. This product is easy to use if you need a VOIP call center system to manage users and how calls are routed. We recommend it!

• 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.

Incentivized

• Make onboarding easy and back it up with support. This lead to no service downtime for our customers while we transitioned.
• Make their software very intuitive and user friendly while providing a good knowledgebase if you need a refresh or get stuck figuring something out on your own as I like to do.
• Being very friendly and attentive when questions were being asked for needs we had.

Incentivized

• 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!

Incentivized

• Only complaint is when you try to use the online assistant, it can take a while to get to you but it's not really been that bad and if I can't wait, I will just call and get them right away.

Everyone at the company now have the experiance needed to make phone calls, meetings, video conferencing. It's easy to use is unmatched in the industry. It's been a solid product throughout. The phone tree was easy to setup with the implementation team and they guided us throughout the process

Its user friendly, easy to use and has been very reliable. We have nothing but good things to say about our service with Nextiva Business Phone Service. When needed their support team has always resolved any and all issues one way or another. They have been helpful, knowledgeable and very friendly. The features vs the cost is wonderful compared to other service providers.

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.

The whole system sucks. It’s the worst and we are stuck. They won’t price match, they won’t even consider the other quotes we have and all they tell us to buy out and move on. They’re money grabbing snakes who need to go away. How they have this many stars is insane. I don’t know how people are writing these reviews

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.

We have not yet experienced any issues the Nextiva Business Phone Service availability. It has always worked as needed.

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

Nextiva Business Phone Service performance is great. The call quality is much better than our old analog land lines at a fraction of the cost.

We are a USA based organization. Support was refreshingly quick (callback via phone or email, online live agents). Agents are knowledgeable, thorough in their explanations, and extremely patient when dealing with end-users at various levels of the ICT knowledge spectrum.

Incentivized

Support is great. We usually get someone on the phone; they answer our questions and help us with our issues. They are responsive when we call, and there is also a wealth of information on their online help center, which will typically answer our question or send us in the right direction.

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

Good and Simple Training Module, also Certification is available.

The training we received from Nextiva Business Phone Service was thorough, and detailed. It also did not take very long.

We had a third party implement and set up the system the way we wanted it - after that I do all changes or additions. The vendor was very knowledgeable and had it up and running in less than an hour.

No was done by Agency Owner and was done with the help of Nextiva Support and Sales team. Went very well and has been working great since then. Was originally only two phones and then we continue to add to that. We did not have any reported issues and was a great experience for our Agency and Small Business.

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.

Incentivized

Nextiva Business Phone Service provides the same functionality that we desire for a lesser price than their competitors. I think where they really shine is their customer service. Our account manager has always been very helpful and never left me wondering if I'm missing out on anything. Their customer service is top notch and responds very soon after inquiring and just about every time the issue we were having was addressed and solved in under 2 days.

8x8 100% suits Business needs to connect with from anywhere and everywhere. The Softphone features is very light and very easy to use also very reliable with Zero Downtime. Can also be set personal Voicemail over softphone at anytime and logs everything is very easy to find.

We have not yet needed top scale up our phone system yet, but I can tell that it will be very quick and effortless to do so when the need arises.

• 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.

Incentivized

• ROI - we are saving money, a lot of money, and we have a MUCH better phone system
• Consolidation - we migrated 6 different phone systems in 6 different counties into one, and it's been wonderful!
• Management - managing this system is so much better than Mitel, Panasonic, and any other system I have used. We are able to assign rights to certain staff to also make changes, and it's user friendly and almost fool proof.
