What do you like best about 8x8 Contact Center?

Old Agent Console Experience and reporting. The old view allowed visibility for our customer service team. It allowed us to easily see how many customers were waiting, how many were being taken care of, inbound v/s outbound, etc. We could easily see all the information we needed for our team of 20 at virtually a glance. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not get rid of this old version

Reporting systems (for me) are easy to use and give me great reports to work from each week Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 8x8 Contact Center?

scale answers below are all based on New Agent Workspace Experience. Whoever came up with the new setup never asked a customer service department for input. With a team of 20, we have virtually no visibility of what's going on. My team needs to be able to see all the other team members without having to filter through the company's other 100 employees who are NOT on the customer servpice team and not answering calls. We need to easily and quickly be able to determine who is on inbound v/s outbound, who is available, who is on break or offline and for how long. We need to easily see how many customers are waiting. We need to be able to do all that without having to open 3 different windows, go back and forth 5 times, or take up half of our screens. For customer service, we are already having to work between multiple screens/programs/websites at the same time and this new workspace is extremely hindering. So much so, that almost all of my reps have to opt out every morning and switch it over to Agent Console before we being our day. Personally, my team hates this version. It's not user friendly, and it's definitely not customer service department friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 8x8 Contact Center solving and how is that benefiting you?

8x8 has been great about addressing issues we have such as being unable to listen to calls or having issues with the queue. Otherwise, all current problems are due to Agent Workspace Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about 8x8 Contact Center?

We implemented 8x8 VCC with 25 peak shift users that served Sales, Claims Processing, Customer Success and Scheduling functions. Our most significant gains as we have scaled markets and operations were achieved with the precision and analytics VCC provided out of the box. We partnered with 8x8, who assigned an expert implementation project manager who performed discovery and facilitated a group of WW supervisors and managers to tailor the configuration to our business needs over a couple of months.

Our supervisors run their reporting and day-to-day ticket changes like onboarding and queue optimization; it was relatively easy to establish 24/7 availability in our phone-heavy consumer business. The scripting capabilities and overall administration interface work reasonably well, and the user adds, creating queues, and optimizing analytics take a few minutes; occasionally, we need to work remotely with 8x8 support on the phone for a user issue.

We utilize 8x8 exclusively and do not maintain any phone closets or traditional telecom switches; this pure cloud capability allows us to support 100+ team members and 25+ queues from team members in 3 different continents. Our corporate locations have faced downtime for severe weather, holidays and other events over the past two years; VCC successfully allowed us to rebalance prioritization and route with about 10 minutes of effort. Our primary motivator for making this investment has been our Company and Brand goal of connecting our customers with a team member with the proper knowledge and skills, within 30 seconds, across 6x16 customer-facing operations. We can measure our answer rates, and experience quality, and have full QM capability. We are pleased to share that our teams consistently achieve near-zero abandoned calls with expeditious answer rates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about 8x8 Contact Center?

For some reason, many people find the UI confusing when performing advanced administration. There is an actual learning curve to configure the core flows utilizing the 8x8 scripts tool; 8x8 has been rolling out new documentation, upgrades for Agent experience, supervisor Analytics and Integration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is 8x8 Contact Center solving and how is that benefiting you?

Assuring the availability of teams is matched to call volume, eliminating or significantly reducing call abandon rates.

Flexibility to provide a unique IVR, queue, music, and announcement across our many brands and full traceability for agents to see promotions, partners and origination.

When our customers contact us, the quality of service metrics allows us to focus on experience measures, enabling our supervisors to become experience leaders and changing how we interact internally on headcount and scheduling. Our Supervisors, Managers and Leaders trust the analytics, and team members can see their performance quickly.

Enables our customer-obsessed culture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
