Reviews

Mattf writes:

the strengths of Bayonne:

  • Runs on Dialogic, Pika and other widely available hardware
  • extremely reliable, mine never crashes

and here are the weaknesses:

  • nowhere near as active of a support community as Asterisk has
  • configuration of the hardware/drivers is a nightmare compared to Asterisk/Digium
  • it is quite limited in it’s included apps, IVR and voicemail
  • not as many options for scripting as Asterisk
  • it was not designed to have full PBX functionality, some PBX functionality is added as an afterthought
  • the code/organization/flow is not as well thought out or documented as Asterisk is

Note: This review refers to Bayonne 1. Some of the criticisms do not apply to Bayonne 2.
