AGI Scripts help to add features to asterisk and it is very easy to connect it to other softwares. > > **Cons**: I like everything of Asterisk. It is really the best. > > I use Asterisk since 20 years and it is absolutely the best sofwtare at no cost. ----- ### "PBX on Steroids" — 5.0/5 > **Edwin** | *16 December 2024* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Where does one begin? Asterisk revolutionized the telecom industry by breaking free from the dominance of giants like Nortel. It brought the same—if not greater—resilience to the table while introducing IP technology. Asterisk didn’t just challenge the status quo; it redefined it, offering a flexible, open-source alternative that empowered businesses of all sizes. > > **Cons**: Asterisk, by its very nature, can be a bit challenging for the general public due to its technical essence. In the early days, everything had to be configured manually, making it less accessible for non-technical users. However, from a functionality perspective, it’s flawless. Asterisk didn’t earn the nickname “Swiss Blade” for nothing—it’s versatile, powerful, and capable of handling just about anything you throw at it. > > I couldn’t be happier with Asterisk. Having all the functionalities of a PBX combined with the power and flexibility of the IP protocol is simply amazing. ----- ### "Asterisk as a telephony platform between branches of the institution and in applications" — 5.0/5 > **Adolfo** | *15 July 2021* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Asterisk is a flexible VoIP platform that allows interaction with telephone systems within the institution nationwide, also allows integration with specific business applications > > **Cons**: The implementation can be a bit complicated because the server cards and the services of the telephony provider have to be compatible. > > Our experience using Asterisk has been very good since it has allowed us to interconnect the institution's branches via VoIP and it has also been possible to scale without problems. In addition to integrating with applications towards the end user ----- ### "Good open source VOIP solution" — 3.0/5 > **Emil** | *20 April 2017* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > If you want a good and free open source VOIP solution that you can manage in house, then Asterisk is a good choice. It can be easily installed (not upgraded however) and managed by IT system administrators. Is logic (queues, SIP opening and context for calling) is something that you will figure out quite quickly. You can even use multiple WAN ports and multiple SIP trunk operators with the same server so this is also an advantage. The biggest disadvantage is that if a new version comes out it is easier to do the fresh installation then rater to go and try to make an upgrade. Overall, as an open source system it is a great value for money. ----- ### "Phone system, simple and the best\!\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Wobe Muki Marguerite** | *22 November 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Asterisk is a real time voice and video application, the following points made me recommend it to my industry. -It is a free software\!\!\! so amazing with the great solutions it provides -It is easy to setup and user friendly. Working as the Network and systems administrator in my industry (education), I discovered asterisk and amazingly I needed not a sophisticated machine to run it and it worked well on VM. Very easy to set up and the user interface is as friendly as I was able to navigate with ease. -Asterisk is stable, reliable and SIP configurations are perfect and so adaptable. In my industry (education)we use it for conference calls and employees answer calls on Asterisk. -Presently, I am including students in the system such that while on campus they can benefit from free phone calls while on campus. Asterisk is really amazing\!\!\! > > **Cons**: -One needs to be dedicated to make it work > > An amazing free platform\! In my industry, we use it everyday and it eases our day-to-day communications. Asterisk, you are unique\!\!\!\! ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/60249/asterisk?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/60249/asterisk) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
