    Sangoma
    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.

    We consider that it is a very complete internet call software that is worth having in all companies that want to increase their sales through customer service agents because, with all its tools, agents improve their workday by day.

    VirtualPBX
    • Easy to set up your menu and record greetings and Prompts
    • Forwards to our cell phones or landlines -- and voicemail to email
    • Allows outbound calls on the rare occasion we require hiding
    • Simple website for end users - but they almost never need to use it.

    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.

    So much easier than our old PBX or any on-prem PBX I have ever used. We were up and running in an hour. Tweaking the caller menus is so easy.

    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.

    Auto attendant and voice conference capabilities are a good value for SOHO users that need to make a positive impression upon their customers.

    • We have been able to improve greatly with this software, our communications and interactions with customers improved, and agent performance and productivity improved, which translates into higher profits for the company. It is easy to use this program, so it did not take us long to adapt to it and its functions.
