    FreepBX is a great product if you are able and willing to manage your own PBX system. It requires some know-how to set up but once running, it works very well. There is a large community that helps answer questions, but it isn't "plug and play" so you will need to be able to research and troubleshoot your own issues (or pay for support).

    It is an awesome tool for companies that have a hybrid or even fully remote setup and where the integration with Salesforce is needed. The solution completely replaces old phone systems and adds another layer of data to Salesforce, to give an even better view of the interaction with clients, adding automatically events/activities which can in turn be used to reporting purposes.

    • For our use case, Natterbox fits all checkboxes, we're now starting to investigate the use of their AI, but that's in very early stage.

    It works well, there isn't much more to say. You can get a free ($0) phone system packed with features, then if you need even more features then the cost is extremely cheap, and it works well. On top of this, you have complete freedom in the PBX to do as you wish, and debug and see everything

    We use the Natterbox CTI interface, seating on top of and integrated with Salesforce. The interface is minimalist, popping up as the calls arrive and bringing the Caller's details if they exist in Salesforce. The user then have the possibility to open the Caller's record and visualise the details and add notes, or make the notes in the pop-up window which will end up in the contact's record activity. Very easy to use. The routing queue interface is also very user friendly with drag and drop items that make it visually easy to read and understand.

    3CX may be slightly easier for a novice to use, but FreePBX completely beats it when you remove that factor. You can do anything you want, and debug and see everything. Now with AI its even easier to debug and learn how the PBX works if you hit an issue

    When signing up with Natterbox, our first goal was to replace the landline phone system as Covid hit and people moved to remote work. Second goal was to have a system that would integrate with Salesforce and provide an interface that would be easy to work with and learn for all levels of tech expertise. Those two goals were only achieved by Natterbox, by far.

    Return on Investment
    Sangoma
    • Drastically reduced our direct telephony cost as we don't need to have the hardware and support.
    • Very functional and added new functionality that we did not have previously.

    • It doesn't matter where anyone is physically located now, everyone can have their calls delivered to their mobile or laptop and answer them.
    • We now have internally the capacity to manage our call queues.
    • We now have a lot of data to report on, either grouping the calls by Campaign on Salesforce, or grouping them by Inbound or Outbound calls, or by User, or by Team.
