Chose Sangoma Asterisk
It was the best and easiest for phones that we have ever used as a company. The price point was great too.
Chose Sangoma Asterisk
With Asterisk it is possible to implement contact center modules, however, they are simple modules that have many limitations and that can be very good to be implemented in companies that are starting their path since they do not require very large investments, but later they …
Chose Sangoma Asterisk
Recently I've been using Vonage Business, and while it is far more expensive and a lot less configurable than Digium, the mobility is essential for my new role. Digium is ideal for a business with both a very technical staff and a user base that is not remote. Digium was …

I haven't worked on any of the above
Chose Sangoma Asterisk
[Based on] my experience, we initially had to deal with Avaya PBXs, the same applies to client instrumentation (telephones, etc.). Surely we are talking about a product much more "business-like", but the management and implementation has a high cost and is not as simple as it …
Chose Sangoma Asterisk
I have used many other systems such as Cisco Call Manager, Avaya Communication Manager, Nortel Meridian, small Panasonic PBX. All of them are proprietary and more expensive in both hardware and software. Digium Asterisk stacks up against them because the price of the hardware …
Chose Sangoma Asterisk
If we were to compare these three against Asterisk. It will be that asterisk is quite easy to install and setup and works effectively well on a Linux server. It has well suited GUI and CLI option for coders. It works well with soft and hard phones by just knowing the parameters …

Digium Asterisk is well suited for a city government as a communications solution for internal and external use. Other options like PBX are more expensive and hard to escalate. VoIP makes it easier to use the communications infrastructure instead that already exists rather than having to wire every phone when the solution is a digital or analog phone. In my city, government offices are not in the same place, which makes it harder to communicate everything together.

Cons
Sangoma
  • Transferring to a Voicemail is particularly hard to do, and calls tend to drop when transferring.
  • I would like a different interface; the current one feels clumsy
  • Over the weekend, it logs you out, and you have to remember your password or reset it to gain access.

Recently I've been using Vonage Business, and while it is far more expensive and a lot less configurable than Digium, the mobility is essential for my new role. Digium is ideal for a business with both a very technical staff and a user base that is not remote. Digium was selected due to price and ability to create custom applications.
