Hi Paul, I think the most frustrating part is that everything worked in Bria 2.5 and now several things do not. The things I like the least:
1. It requires a new C++ runtime to be installed, with windows XP computers and certain hot fixes Bria would always crash on startup, the workaround is to uninstall several hot fixes making installation a lot more difficult for end users. Even with this done, several of my end users complain it locks up the XP machines. 2. 3.x does not handle codec negotiation when a called person has a cell phone sim-ringed through our mediant 2000 gateway, according to the trace it Bria 3.x grabs g711 and then I get one-way audio with a polycom talking g722. I've tried both checking and unchecking "Accept first codec offered" setting to no avail. 2.5 and several other softphones work fine, including CSIPsipmple on android. 3. The XMPP part was nice helps to bring a unified application that offers similar features to OCS/Lync. Other gripes: LDAP, is not a dynamic query, it is a onetime query at program launch, not based on what you've just typed. The new web modules are kinda cool and could have neat possibilities regarding sipxecs REST APIs, but they are not set through the central provision. Why? I guess in the end 3.x feels much more like a financial upgrade for counterpath rather than a feature upgrade for customers. Paul I agree it is the best out there, but to me what that really says is the state of soft-phones in general is really awful. What I really wish is that sipcommunicator worked well.
