8×8®* is a popular business phone system solution that has grown to become one of the leading unified communications vendors in the market. Although they offer a solid product portfolio, deploying and maintaining an 8×8® phone system is often costly with per user per month pricing and numerous add-on and service fees. 8×8® requires the use of proprietary IP phones, which is costly and reduces flexibility. In comparison, 3CX offers low-cost annual pricing with all the features included in the license you choose. 3CX offers the ideal 8×8® alternative at a fraction of the price.
