[asterisk-users] Off-Topic: Avaya

[Jesse Molina]

I manage a large Avaya implementation with three systems at different 
locations.  I hate Avaya's manageability, lack of features, and 
extremely high cost.

That's why I'm looking into alternatives to replace the whole thing in a 
year or two.

I would appreciate any other opinions and findings regarding the 
integration with Avaya and switching from Avaya.  Our IP phones are 4600 
series as well.

Also, I don't think SIP was even supported until CM v3.x, so you're SOL 
with anything earlier.
