8x8 has been great for us
We've been with them for about 4 years now and they've been fantastic. When we were
first with them, there were a couple of minor hiccups, especially with the android app,
but for the last 2+ years they've been rock solid and the features they add are useful and
work well.
Pros
The relatively rich chat feature, screen sharing, and ease of transferring a call or meeting
from one device to another.
Cons
It's not as intuitive to copy/paste out of the chat sessions and I find it difficult to archive a
chat, though I may just not know how to do it as it's not something I do regularly.

My 8x8 experience
Good experience so far. The system is easy to use and adding users takes just a few minutes to complete
Pros
The system is very stable, has all the features that you want for communication. It's also very easy to configure and to use
Cons
I would say the price that I found pricey. Also when you call for assistance, the customer service seems not to be very well trained on how to better support
