[VoiceOps] Vendor Pros\Cons

[Shawn L]

I have some experience with Meta and quite a bit with Ribbon (back to the
Nortel days).  I'm not sure exactly what platform you're considering but
I'm guessing the C15 if you're looking in the carrier space.  From what I
have seen, Meta seems to get new features, etc. more quickly then Ribbon
especially in the carrier market space.  We greatly prefer Ribbon's tech
support over Meta.  Both have very different user interfaces.  The C15/20
series is still pretty much all CLI, despite the fact that they've been
saying they've had a GUI for years (awful, awful java-based thing).
