Alex, I completely agree with you. Asterisk is a fine solution if you want to build and manage it yourself. We tried a couple of open source projects at first, and I will never go back.
I agree that Broadsoft does have the features I am looking for its just that our wholesaler hasn't implemented them, and maybe never will. So just to confirm BroadCloud is Broadsoft's own white labeled, hosted, Broadsoft offering? We won't have to purchase any hardware or software to make this solution work, and its sold monthly per seat I assume? Can you bring your own minutes and numbers with this service? Any idea on monthly minimums and set up fees? Are there such thing as Metaswitch white label wholesalers? I know there are tons of Broadsoft wholesales, but I haven't heard on any metaswitch wholesalers. How does Metaswitch compare to Broadsoft feature wise? Our billing system has direct integration with Metaswitch, and will soon have direct integration with Broadsoft by end of year. So I think sticking with one of these two would probably be ideal for us.
