[asterisk-biz] View from a side competitor

[Derrick Moennick]

Craig,

Like support? Continual upgrades to the software package, the ability to
upgrade to the next package for the difference in price?

We purchased a copy of Switchvox almost 2 years ago with the intention
of
being a reseller however we found that there wasn't really any support
for a
channel, as such. As a result the software has never been used. 

We recently went back to see if things had changed. We explained that we
would had been waiting for Switchvox to get organized and support
resellers.
So when we asked for an upgrade to the most recent version we were
surprised
to be told we'd need to pay full price to upgrade. So we've concluded
that
nothing's really changed.

My point is that it's not the GUI's features or the cost that are the
main
issue here. There are other things that you need and expect if you're
planning to resell someone else's product.

IMHO

It would be cool to see a point by point comparison article written by a

third party.  I am not volunteering, just think it would be cool.

Thanks,
Steve
