    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.

    Excellent for small and large companies. Great for sales staff who need to work remotely. No need for inside sales to be in the office all the time.

    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.

    I have asked in the not so recent past about having my phone updated with my saved Digium "favorites" list but it doesn't seem that this is possible

    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.

    Solgari is way better than Skype or Google hangouts. I love the simplicity of it's usage and how easy the sales team can listen into and records calls.
