[VoiceOps] Vendor Pros\Cons

[Charles Boening]

We’ve been on Meta for about 15 years as well (DMS10 network prior).  I believe we received our gear towards the end of 2006 and commissioned Q1 2007.

We’re a fairly small shop.  We have EAS, N-Series (Conference/MOH), SAS, a single Perimeta, CFS and two UMG.  We just did a UMG refresh out of the legacy 3510 to the newer ATCA platform.  It went very well.  We’ll be converting our other 3510 in 2022.  We also did a CFS replacement from the old server architecture to a new one that’s all virtualized.  Again, it went very well.

We’ve looked at Ribbon off and on over the years but haven’t seen a driving reason to change.  We quoted their robocall solution and it was a bit ridiculous in my opinion.  I believe it was even more than what Metaswitch wanted for their solution with no additional benefit.

I do wish Meta would lower support costs a bit.  😊


Good luck.

We've been running Metaswitch for 15 years and are looking to refresh what we have.

Who else operates at that tier? I'm talking to Ribbon. I'm hesitant to talk to to Broadsoft because they're part of Cisco, but if I should, I should...

Obviously, there are rather limited venues to gain third-party feedback on the platforms, so I figured I'd ask here.


Thanks.
