[Asterisk-Users] FreePBX in Production systems?

[Lacy Moore - Aspendora]

FreePBX is good to get you started.  Their dialplans are a good start, and
it's nice to even load up AAH in a virtual machine and then play with to
learn how to do certain things.  You then look at the code generated, and
you can copy that code into your own dialplan, or at least get a better
understanding of how to accomplish something.

To me, FreePBX is a learning tool, but not something to be used on a
production system.  I find that trying to use it on a production system, I
spend too much time trying to get around it.
