Considered Both Products	PBXact No answer on this topic	Sangoma Asterisk Gregory Palenschat Product Consultant 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. Incentivized Helpful? JUAN CARLOS CRUZ ARANGO Especialista de Servicios 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Brian Duffy Systems Administrator 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Sangoma Asterisk I haven't worked on any of the above Incentivized Helpful? Luca Campanelli Senior Betting & Online DB Administrator 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Olumayowa Mosuro Systems Admin 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 … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	PBXact	Sangoma Asterisk
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	As I stated before this is very user friendly. It makes it so just about anyone with basic knowledge of technology can use it. There is always room for improvement but this is by far the easiest program to use for phone systems that I have used in my 8+ years at my current job. Incentivized Gregory Palenschat Product Consultant Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Call forwarding that I can trust stays on even if my phone "refreshes." Ability to setup various call rules and save them to use as needed. Incentivized LB Lisa Burns Territory Credit Manager Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	Documentation is scarce, so you have to learn by trial and error. Not cloud-based, and there's no mobile app. The ability to email voicemail messages would be great. Incentivized Brian Duffy Systems Administrator Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	User friendly. Very little training to use it Incentivized Gregory Palenschat Product Consultant Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	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 Incentivized LB Lisa Burns Territory Credit Manager Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	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 and software is lower and very intuitive. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	Since Asterisk is an open-source tool, it does not require very large investments at the infrastructure level, which helps to have a quick ROI. There is a wide range of professionals to carry out software maintenance and support with internal company resources. Has no associated annual or monthly licensing costs Incentivized JUAN CARLOS CRUZ ARANGO Especialista de Servicios Read full review
