[asterisk-users] What web GUI are people happy with?

[shadowym]

That seems quite fast actually.  I still have a hard time believing it is
that easy.  I look as relatively straight forward configurations that do
call queues, voicemail to email, followme, ivr and various other things that
most companies want and your looking at hundreds of lines a lot of which are
not redundant with just extensions etc. changed.  I just don't see how
anyone could set that all up in 30 minutes.  Unless of course your cut and
pasting templates.  Something nobody seems to claim they use.

I don't see how using SSH console with something like PuTTY can influence
the decision.  I access all my GUI's through SSH port 22 using PuTTY tunnel
which takes 30 seconds to configure for port 80 and 4445.

Well - there's a large amount of subjectivity in your question, but
perhaps I'll answer with "not long".  I don't know - 20 sip
extensions, maybe 5 minutes. Probably another 30 for the dialplan and
debugging.

My point still stands - use what you're comfortable with.  I spend the
vast amount of my day working through an SSH console into various
linux servers, so it would only make sense that for me (and many other
CLI geeks), it doesn't make sense to use a GUI.  I actually get a
little put out when I have to switch over to my browser or another GUI
tool to get things done.

So - the CLI is what works for me.  I'm not going to push that on you
or anyone as the definitive best management tool for asterisk.
