[Asterisk-Users] FreePBX in production?

[Remco Barende]

FreePBX is catching up reasonably quickly.

There are still some basic things missing (for example if you don't use 
voicemail it is not possible to set a destination for the call if not 
answered, you have to create a ring group for each extension to work 
around it, this is a major issue) and some smaller minor issues.

Other than that I think the basic framework is already pretty impressive 
but in my opinion good enough for production use.
