Pros

  • Documentation is present. Tooltips are set for every function, and it is a very good idea.

  • I am happy with the fact that most important features are free and they have covered most details of running a PBX.

Cons

  • The extension mapping is not very clear, and some feature are displayed twice. It is hard to find where exactly DID / extension mapping is done.

  • I disliked only one thing. The main screen of the PBX is the option to create a new extension.

"Disruptive price PBX to resell with your own value added and make money."

Overall: Its been a game changer for us. We have been selling PBX from traditional vendors for the last 50 years in our company and we were slowly not being able to sell what we used to. So, we looked for an inexpensive and powerful PBX software that would allow us to sell PBX ion premises and in the cloud and retain our existing customers with new technologies and still be an updated palyer in the market place.

Pros: The GUI is very modern and makes the previous software that we used look pre-historic. Its got every feature of the expensive traditional PBX and the newest Ip PBX also. The price is not diretly related to channels or extensions. They do sell addon modules, some of them based on qty of extensions and some not. Their subscription plan with unlimited capabilities lets you grow and make money wth a fixe low cost.

Cons: When we started with them, it was just Release 1.0 and lacked many features and had certain problems that thanks to the great service were all fixed in a timely manner is subsequent releases.

Alternatives Considered: Switchvox Phone System, CompletePBX 5 , 3CX and PBXware
Reasons for Choosing VitalPBX: Because it clearly has a much better value. Its less expensive and even if it was the same price, it has the right features and ease of use that we needed. Our PBX service on the cloud thanks to Vital PBX is very succesful and is allowing us to mantain our very experienced 50 years old company.
Reasons for Switching to VitalPBX: Because Elastix was sold to another company and they stopped the development of the software ad it started to have securityissues that were not addressed by the developers anymore.

"Everything I needed for my VoIP business"

Overall: From the beginning, the support from the community has been great. I was in desperate need of a solution after the nightmare debacle at Kerio-slash-GFI. VitalPBX has given me the chance to continue my small VoIP business, keep my command line up to speed, and offer my clients a lot more in their service.

Pros: I was drawn to VitalPBX while searching for something that would allow for voicemail transcription (IBM's Watson STT, now switching to Google Cloud STT). I also needed something I could install myself in a standard VPS provider.

Cons: There are one or two features that my older software could do that I cannot do with VitalPBX, such as transferring calls between devices registered to one extension. However, everything else more than makes up for this. While I also love the customizability of the portal user's UI, I wish there were a simplified, user-friendly interface for the far less technically-inclined user.

Alternatives Considered: 3CX
Reasons for Choosing VitalPBX: Licensing fees and white labeling options. Ability to customize as I wish. Ability to install in a standard VPS provider's environment. Openness of the developers and owners of the software in talking to me while I was testing it out.
Reasons for Switching to VitalPBX: Licensing fees, even though the product was deprecated. Loss of trust in the entire Kerio product line.

"Looks simple, but it is not as simple as it look"

Overall: In this standard deployment, VitalPBX does the job. 1 trunk, 10 extensions, Follow Me and IVR. Autoprovisioning was not setup because it is easier to setup 10 phones one by one (yeahlink phones, different models).

Pros: VitalPBX has a good user interface. The web management do not afraid people. Feature codes list, follow me and many several options are easily accessible from GUI. Installation is very easy. Documentation is present. Tooltips are set for every function, and it is a very good idea.

Cons: The way extensions are presented is not straitforward. The extension mapping is not very clear, and some feature are displayed twice. It is hard to find where exactly DID / extension mapping is done. Debug tool are not very usable. Finally, "asterisk -rv" is more comfortable.

Reasons for Choosing VitalPBX: FreeSwitch is overkill for this deployment. FreePBX has too many paid option that are free with vitalpbx.

Thank you for your review! We appreciate your comments. We will let our development team know about your thoughts and have them analyze the debug tools. We always leave the Linux CLI and Asterisk CLI open so advanced users can make use of these features.

"WavSpeed Evaluation"

Pros: All of the features that FreePBX has plus the multi-tenant carrier platform.

Cons: The Endpoint Manager for provisioning devices was very rudimentary to where we had to use the Advanced Feature Sets to program some of the most basic things that FreePBX or 3CX will perform natively. Also, we are waiting on the VitXi platform to mature so we can move our 3CX clients over to VitalPBX and have a single system to manage instead of multiple different platforms. WebRTC and Mobile Apps are becoming a rapid necessity for users to be able to work and function. And these capabilities will help us continue to successfully provide great service and pricing to our customers.

Reasons for Choosing VitalPBX: Ease of use, deployment, management, maintenance, and of course the price.
Reasons for Switching to VitalPBX: We’re not liking the direction that Sangoma has taken and starting to see a real drop in support for their products as well.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your review! We understand the needs for the current Endpoint Manager to evolve. So that is exactly what we are doing! Within the next couple of weeks we will be rolling out the beta for the new Provisioning System. This will tackle more brands and phone models, as well as being more intuitive to use.
