It has not given me any problems in terms of stability but one of the points of improvement I highlight is the user experience, which is very functional but could do with implementing an aesthetic approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its main contribution is its full customizability for call settings which improves our ability to log and audit conversations; and Linphone's open architecture creates confidence that they meet security and privacy standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Linphone?

A SIP client like Linphone I had never seen before, the configuration and previous installation take place in just a few seconds directly from the Ubuntu APT package manager, the wizard is able to guide the user in creating a Linphone account or configuring an existing SIP account to register with a PBX (in my case corporate), allows simultaneous multi-account access and audio and video calls use quality codecs capable of supporting HQ voice and full HD video if allowed by the camera and network, stable in call and allows the use of SIP transfer and call conference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Linphone?

It is slow in registering with outdated Call managers like the Cisco legacy CUCM, I don't know who is causing the problem but it seems to attempt SIP registration multiple times and the negotiation of codecs that work for both. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Linphone:

Remember to install it from the official APT repository available for both Debian and Ubuntu, as the versions on the official website are outdated and not fully compatible with the webcam kernel drivers to support full HD video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Linphone solving and how is that benefiting you?

Personally, I had compatibility issues with the official client called Ekiga distributed for corporate desk-to-desk calls, I found Linphone a very valid and better alternative fully compatible with Ekiga and with our PBX to achieve the same results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
