John, I've been a reseller of PBX Manager for 3+ years and it goes out
on every installation.<br>
<br>
For us the key is that PBXM is designed to allow for easy customization
via the script library so that even simple modifications are easy to
follow and maintain. So our typical approach is to meet with the
customer, determine requirements, implement their requests and then
turn the working system over to them.<br>
<br>
In addition the Bulk Provisioning feature allows you to import a
spreadsheet to create the initial set of extensions.<br>
<br>
Also, phone provisioning/new user add is a breeze.<br>
<br>
Our end users like it to maintain the system over the life of the
system.<br>
<br>
We're vary much in the open source camp. *BE is an additional cost
which it appears that the primary benefit is access to Digium for
support.<br>
<br>
Feel free to contact me on/off list if you like.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Jim Sturtevant<br>

<p>Dear List: Many thanks in advance for your input:</p>
<p>Question 1: Does anyone have experience with "Thirdlane PBX
Manager and GUI" for * open source builds and * Business Edition?<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.abptech.com/products/thirdlane/">http://www.abptech.com/products/thirdlane/</a>
<br>
I am considering this to give our install techs and
clients an easier installation & management interface.</p>
<div>Question 2: Are there any more established, proven,
equivalent alternatives to this Thirdlane product</div>
<div><br>
Question 3: In practical terms, what am I giving up by going with an
open source build v. *BE? How much risk is involved?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
