[VoiceOps] Multi Tenant Commercial Softswitch Besides Broadsoft

[Colton Conor]

Awesome, and Broadsoft does all the work for the setup? They build the
device templates, email server for voicemail, updates, and all the other
stuff that I am paying our wholesaler for right now?

Seems Genband, Meta, and Broadsoft are the three big players in this space.
Has anyone compared the platforms feature wise? I beleive Broadsoft is the
king as far as features go, but I could be wrong as I have never seen Meta
or Genband's interface.
