We use it on several machines and the few problems that have arisen are because depending on the operating system the available version changed. This was confusing as it moved certain buttons, such as the on-screen keyboard. For the rest, it is a software that we use in more than 40 machines, 10 hours a day and it works wonderfully Pros \- Easy to install - Easy to use - Easy to configure: In a few steps we can leave it operational and configured with the account of our SIP service - Friendly interface - Ease of having several SIP accounts within the same program and being able to exchange them very quickly. Cons \- Different types of versions depending on the version of linux - Limited agenda - We occasionally had compatibility issues between sound codecs and computer, but very rarely Alternatives considered [Zoiper](https://www.capterra.com/p/158719/ZoiPer/) Reason for choosing Linphone We chose linphone over other options for its ease of use and mainly for its free option that is comfortable and minimally invasive with the end user.

Pros The pricing of the software is quite cheaper than other softwares available in the market. Once you get use to is, it is quite easy to use and configure. The entire calling experience can be customized easily if there is no one to attend the call. Just drag and drop customization. Cons You would need to install a 3rd party software to enable the bridging for the software to work. The after sales is not that supportive though. Would recommend to go through their chats instead of the person who you deal with during the software purchase.

Pros It's simple. No fluff. Someone calls. You hear a ring. Dial a number. It calls. There are no bells and whistles. Cons There are no bells and whistles. It's about as old school as it gets. Very outdated aesthetic and features. Each caller is given a special ID # that is long and unidentifiable.
