<div>I currently work in EMEA for a large US Telco, who use Acme as both the Core SBC and as a Enterprise SBC. I was actively involved in the testing of the Acme 3800 Series before it's released and found it to be a very strong product - hence the launch of it is a managed SBC offering.. I tested it with Avaya CM 5.X, Microsoft OCSR2 and CUCM 6.X & 7.X.. The one thing that jumped out and hit me was it ability to support stateful failover of RTP Steams. This was something that we found an advantage over the CUBE, as we were not able to get this to work without the CUSP. However my testing is a couple of years old now..</div>

<div>From a commercial perspective the Acme is expensive, even compared to the CUBE. I also found the like of Audio Codes to be more cost effective alternative for Microsoft Lync offering.. However neither are as feature rich, but you don't always needs need the amount of features offered by Acme.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My final point is that Acme is very complex to configure, but there Systems Engineers (I have worked with) are fantastic and have always provided me first class support..</div>
