"Asterisk; barrier-free telephony for total communications control"
What do you like best about Asterisk?

The level of customization of Asterisk is unmatched allowing us to adapt it to the specific needs of our telephony infrastructure; thanks to AGI scripts we extend its functionalities, automating processes and improving operational efficiency. It's remarkable its ability to manage multiple SIP Trunks and operate with more than one provider at a time which gives us stability to optimize costs by choosing the best route for each call. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asterisk?

Asterisk is a very flexible tool and offers absolute control over telephony but its initial configuration is almost a challenge because we have to manually define each parameter and that becomes a meticulous process of testing and tuning to find the optimal configuration.

"Open Source Must Have"
What do you like best about Asterisk?

I love that we can use asterisk to replace high cost high-cost systems completely, and there is great support online for the various issues that you may run into. Asterisk is by far one of the best examples of community-supported systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asterisk?

Sometimes asterisk has issues that take a lot of technical expertise to fix, and sometimes those things can take a while to muddle through. Often it is better to only install security upgrades, instead of feature upgrades, to avoid breaking the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best OpenSource PBX system so far, flexible, robust and highly recommended."
What do you like best about Asterisk?

its powerful, flexible and easy to integrate with various industry standard tools. Reliable and robust even under test of "1000 simultaneous calls with RTP" without compromising Calls quality! That's really great about it! It's CLI support a wide range of hardware and software tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Asterisk?

maybe on support point of view I see there should be a central database or library for user-cases so anyone can start quickly on production level, with help of this along with available wiki and documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
