We've been trying to get 8x8 to fix a chronic problem with our recorded calls getting randomly lost or corrupted. We call and email them daily and get little to no response. The typical response is "that department is very busy with other problems, we'll get to yours when we get to it." They say that the problem gets escalated to a higher tier but we still haven't gotten a response and it's been over a week now. I've called our rep Aldrich and he says that he's done all that he can and I've talked to Donovan who is apparently the head of the tech department and he is the one that told me that they'll get to our calls when they get to them. Very unresponsive when it comes to resolving issues.
After 12 months of frustration, we have moved away from 8X8. The issue was never the suite of features. It was customer service for a persistent problem. The basic requirement for a telephone system is that it allows me to make and receive calls. For 12 months, we were unable to receive call from many local people. I was told that it was not the fault of 8X8 and to contact our old provider, Verizon. Verizon said they had ported the number and that was all they could do. We have switched to 3CX. Within 2 days, the local contact was able to trace and resolve the problem. Anyone can now call. My experience shows that 8X8 is not willing to help solve a serious problem. I should also add that they offered no compensation for this issue. I cannot recommend 8x8.
We operate a multi-tenant executive suite property in the Beverly Hills/Los Angeles area and have had Broadcore since January 2008. VOIP is a new concept for us, but so far everything is great and works well. Our tenants have been able to use the equipment and services with relative ease and minimum of break-in time. One of the best features of the Company is their support people - you don't feel like you are dealing with a large faceless company - but a friendly service oriented concern. They are relatively easy to access and respond in a very thorough caring way to the needs of their customers.
I am currently using their service and would like to say that I am happy so far and it seems a small business's service level and values offered are more attractive from those other big companies I have seen! They are definitly a provider to concider for businesses in 20-50 users!
