[VoiceOps] Multi Tenant Commercial Softswitch Besides Broadsoft

[MiRTA PBX team]

I almost agree with you, but I think instead of saying "The drawback to
Asterisk is you have to add lots of extra stuff" I will say "The drawback
to Asterisk is you have to DISABLE a lots of extra stuff". Yes, if you are
doing a pure SIP routing, you may disable IAX and all other VoIP protocol
you do not need, you may disable all applications you don't use and reduce
asterisk to the bare minimum, but are they really hurting you? I cannot
compare asterisk to other VoIP software because I just know asterisk, but
having something "more" was never been a problem. Problems can arise when
you need a feature and you do not have it. We are working in a highly
competitive market where we fight to the death for every single customer,
trying to pleasant them as much as we can. Often clients have silly
requests and I appreciate when I have a software even capable to play chess
with the caller while on hold.
