What is the best asterisk platform to use? What are you guys using? I am looking for something to host either in our data center or at the customer prem where I have the control over the unit and not through a contractor. I dont mind paying a license fee for a front end interface but still would rather not have to pay. Thanks, --Eric -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

For smaller installations (<100), and if you don't need a fancy GUI, I can recommend AstLinux (Open Source), a complete communication plattform in one box (or VM): http://www.astlinux.org Michael http://www.mksolutions.info
I have used thirdlane in the past.. I am trying to evaluate AsteriskNOW currently I am also looking into BICOM and CoreDial. I know nothing of these two vendors. I literally just googled them.

Agreed. I have built close to 40 AstLinux systems, mostly on HP Thin Clients And the excellent GUI is constantly improving.

I don't think the original poster was asking about which OS is best. I think he was asking which PBX manager people are using. Ex, PBX in a Flash, Elastix, FreePBX, blah, blah, blah.

Eric, So far you have seen lot of suggestions. PBX in a Flash, Elastix, FreePBX, astlinux, Trixbox, ASteriskNOW. Different people like different flavors based on their choice, ease of use and needs. My 2 cents will be to pay more attention to security of the platform. I have seen customer's PBX being hacked all the time. MySQL injection through forms and urls is the most common hack. Some of these flavors package lot of different tool in the same PBX, which sounds really cool, but the challenge will be to find if all the tools and packages are secure or not. For example Elastix, PBX part might be secure, but the vtiger CRM might have a security hole it. Read the forums for each package and see if there is any issue. So being in industry for more than 7 years, If I were you, I will go with most secure open-source platform and modify GUI part based on my needs. *Jai Rangi* Cebod Technologies LLC dba DIDforSale/Cebod Telecom O 949-471-0102 <O%20949-471-0101> | C 949-419-7634 <C%20949-742-2666> | F 949-269-0449 / 949-232-1410 | jprangi at didforsale.com www.cebod.com | www.didforsale.com |3200 Bristol St Suite 615, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 | On Wed, Dec 23, 2015 at 5:31 AM, er ic <email.eherr9633 at gmail.com> wrote:> What is the best asterisk platform to use?
