I love that we can use asterisk to replace high cost high-cost systems completely, and there is great support online for the various issues that you may run into. Asterisk is by far one of the best examples of community-supported systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes asterisk has issues that take a lot of technical expertise to fix, and sometimes those things can take a while to muddle through. Often it is better to only install security upgrades, instead of feature upgrades, to avoid breaking the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
VOIP feature is the best feature in asterisk. All over the world, every call is connected that only one software is used .one and only asterisk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
a configuration setting is very complicated in asterisk. I will give him only one suggestion please, provide more documentation of the asterisk configuration file and video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Absolutely love all of the wonderful features of this system! You get a full and complete VOIP phone system to handle all of your business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not really much to dislike about Asterisk, but I would say the update and support cycle could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
its powerful, flexible and easy to integrate with various industry standard tools. Reliable and robust even under test of "1000 simultaneous calls with RTP" without compromising Calls quality! That's really great about it! It's CLI support a wide range of hardware and software tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
maybe on support point of view I see there should be a central database or library for user-cases so anyone can start quickly on production level, with help of this along with available wiki and documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Modular, easy to integrate, Open Source. With a little effort you can improve the phone communications in SOHO or medium company, one of the strengths of Asterisk is the ability of build a heterogeneous system. You can use PCI or PCIe telephony interfaces or media gateways (Patton, Grand Stream, etc.) to connect your PBX to the landline or cell network.
Also you can choose between some Asterisk based distributions (can be downloaded in ISO format) in order to install a dedicated system with a rich web interface in order to configure the PBX, those are highly recommended for the first installations in order to abstract the complexity of the text based configuration. Obviously it gives the opportunity to build complex systems/architectures but as all the other things it require several years of experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The first approach isn't very easy, but as all the new things. After reading the documentation you can get the work done.
On the other hand I can't find other points to dislike, within the years of Asterisk user I've never found a headache situation regarding the operations of the PBX built with Asterisk. For this reason I recommend it to those that are searching the workhorse of their telephony system project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Modularity, Extensibility, Flexibility, AGI, AMI, ARI, a lot of channels out of the box Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
IDK about current documentation status. but since we have stared using it in 2005, it was terrible, but we managed to fix everything Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
