[VoiceOps] Opinions on Netsapiens or Kazoo

[benginger5 .]

We have been Kazoo customers for a long time on their managed platform and
have been very happy for the past year or so. On their old version (early
3.0 days) a couple years ago, it was a mess, they were constantly having
issues. That was two years ago. Fast forward to today and the service has
basically been rock solid. They allowed us to migrate to our own
private/dedicated cluster when we got big enough but they still take care
of all the management. It wasn't very expensive. So, from a management and
"work" perspective it's been a huge win for us

It seems to have most of the features customers want and then some.

>From a feature perspective, the ability to do everything via APIs is really
great for us. We use their GUI but for anything we can't do in the GUI, or
don't like, we just write little scripts and call their API. There are some
deficiencies in the GUI (for example, it's cumbersome to automatically add
and remove conference bridge numbers for timed/scheduled conferences, since
they don't do that automatically) but we just wrote a script for it.

Because you can host the GUI portion yourself but have them run all the
"hard stuff" we are actually moving to a scenario where we run the GUI but
they run the back-end. We're tinkering with that idea but have not taken
the plunge yet.

Never been super impressed with Netsapiens and would recommend looking

at CSRPswitch.com as an alternative; although it depends on what you're

looking to do with the system.
