    This is clearly not a commericial, full featured product. Perhaps the people that tested it for the article didn't know what they were looking for...

    The good: Windows, quick easy setup and administration.

    The bad: Can't customize any low level items and basic features that have existed for years on other systems are missing. Implementation of Voicemail is ridiculious, can't change codes, no fast forward, can't implement a code like *86 instead of their goofy 999 access code... silly stuff. Look within the forums to see the requests for basic items that should already be there.... Lame forums support.

    I tried this product. Compare to asterisk and hardware PBXes this system has a bad latency. For home use it is OK but for professional use it is not usable

    The good: cheap

    The bad: latency, resource hungry, installs lots of packages such as apache without asking, uses open source code (bad for a commercial company)

    The good: Easy to setup & Manage SIP standard good documentation and configurability

    The bad: none
