<div>I do not think people should move away from Broadsoft. I
actually like many aspects of Broadsoft, and overall think
the platform is great if deployed properly. However, the
acquisition may leave small shops based on Broadsoft maybe
at risk to price hikes. The analysts are saying this. There
was also another post of the forums from Matthew Crocker who
runs a Broadsoft switch just as you do, and is already
looking for alternatives like Netsapines. He says he doesn't
like Cisco. </div>

<div>"One factor to keep an eye on is how Cisco’s UCaaS
entrance will ultimately impact the pricing environment in
the market. Some have speculated that over time, Cisco
could look to leverage its market position to raise prices
on the BroadSoft solutions. In this environment, smaller
independent proprietary UCaaS platforms could emerge as
potential winners by offering lower-cost solutions that are
more responsive in maintaining leading-edge feature
functionality, and by becoming more niche or vertical
focused. Companies with the potential to benefit in this
scenario could include <b>Centile, DialPad, EvolveIP,
Netsapiens, OnSip, Star2Star and Swyx</b>. Our assessment
is that current BroadSoft resellers will seek to acquire
their own proprietary platform as a way of “de-risking”
their reliance on BroadSoft-Cisco."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have never even heard of Centile or Swyx. Does anyone
use them? </div>
<div>Dialpad doesn't have a white label or reseller program
right? Love their platform, but not if we can't make money
by selling it. <br>
</div>
<div>OnSIP only has a commission/referral program.</div>
<div>Star2Star is about to launch their cloud based product,
and its very similar to 2600hz technology.
Kamillio/Freeswitch under the hood with custom everything. </div>
<div>EvolveIP is a Broadsoft shop right? So not sure how that
makes sense to list them.<br>
</div>
<div>I am shocked to see Metaswitch was not in that list.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Out of curiosity, why do you think
people should move off Broadosft? What about this
acquisition would cause this sentiment? I was talking
to a consultant yesterday, and there is some confusion
as to WHY C bought BSFT. Some think it is to acquire
the Broadcloud solution, others think it is simply to
shore up their own hardware sales, and to take
business away from Yealink, Polycom, etc.</p>
