Features: Which Phone System
Powers Your Team Better?

With the 40+ features, you can take advantage of advanced SMS messaging and unlimited international calling. The provider also offers call recording, call forwarding, 3-way calling, and voicemail transcription.

Offers less than 20, basic features and only integrates with a handful of tools, such as Google Voice or Skype. Grasshopper does, however, let you send and receive fax – a feature that some clients might still need.

8×8 offers more features, and the selection of auto-dialers (Preview, Progressive, Predictive) make 8×8 a significantly better tool for teams with a large number of outgoing calls.

Customer Satisfaction: Which
Service Has the Happiest Customers?

Swipe to see the winner

On G2, the 8×8 platform ranks 4.2 / 5 with only 38 customer reviews. Capterra only displays ratings for 8×8 X Series which received 4 stars out of 5 with 236 reviews and 8×8 Contact Center – 4 out of 5 with 20 reviews.

Earned a 4.4 / 5 score on Capterra (314 reviews) and 4.1 out of 5 on G2 (131 reviews). Users love the customizability, the ability to text when on the go, and the ease of implementation. But, some customers claim that calls don’t always go through, and support is hard to reach.

Grasshopper customers are overall more satisfied with the product than 8×8 users and find the use of the software easier.

G2 Reviews proof

The transition to CloudTalk was super smooth. Actually, agent productivity grew by 10% just as a direct result of the switch. We thought our sales team couldn’t handle more than 15 daily leads, but this year, on some days, they took care of 30 and even won more deals.

Franco Viale Leyva
Head of Commercial Performance at Poliglota

Our call volume tripled in only 2 years. Today, our agents get around 100,000 calls per quarter versus 30,000 back in 2020. With CloudTalk, we can now handle all of this communication easily. It was an excellent choice.

Frederico Lopes
Head of Customer Service at DiscoverCars

CloudTalk has grown on us from the very first moment. It’s a part of our daily workflow. Everyone in the company finds uses for it. From sales to support or onboarding. Without CloudTalk, we wouldn’t provide such outstanding service.
