[cisco-voip] Recommended SIP SBC

[randal k]

I too have been trying to get a software-only eval of Acme and have been
stonewalled by an unresponsive sales team. Sonus has been OK but a bit
slow. Sansay, on the other hand, has been very responsive and has
aggressive pricing, a good UI and a solid feature set, although they are
small.

We are also in the ~150-200 concurrent session land -- too small for huge,
too big to use open-everything -- and believe that the "virtual SBC"
concept is incredibly hot and we *really* want it ... but ... it's really
hard to get. Everyone wants to sell a box (sansay/sonus), just isn't
selling anything (acme), or has targeted virtual SBC at huge networks
instead of small (metaswitch).

Let me know how it goes for you!
