This is great news. Before we start sending out commercials that say "4 out of 5 Brazilians prefer FreeSWITCH to Prosody" I would very much like know more about the tests:<br><br>What kind of computers were the end users working?<br>
What codecs were being used by the x-lite clients when connecting to FS? <br>
What codecs were being used by the x-lite clients when connecting to Prosody?<br>Were there any other factors that could possibly have affected the call quality?<br><br>The reason I ask all of these is that I would love to put this account into the testimonials page on the wiki and make it available to other techie guys who are trying to make their business cases for using FreeSWITCH (or FOSS in general) to the corporate executives.<br>
<br>Thanks for the great report!<br>-Michael <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 29, 2009 at 7:53 AM, Fernando Testa <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:testa@voicetechnology.com.br">testa@voicetechnology.com.br</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>After 3 users testing the two conferences and reporting far better quality on FS, we decided to make a more rigorous test.</div>
<div>Then we made a blind test by asking 4 lay users to dial two urls for 10 minutes from their x-lite and report the results. These users are non-techie and never heard about FS at all.</div><div>The first url was Aculab Prosody S test app, then, a second call to FS on default conf (extension 3000).<br clear="all">
All users preferred FS. Some users were almost enthusiastic after entering FS conf. Some even started to blame ProsodyS after hearing FS. The average report told 50% more satisfaction on FS. Questions on report were simple ones, with results from 1(worse) to 5(best) :</div>
<div>1-Overall opinion(1-crap; 5-awesome);</div><div>2-Delay (1-more delay, 5-no delay at all);</div><div>3-Audio quality (1-noisy, choppy, etc; 5-cristal clear);</div><div><br></div>Machines used:<br>Prosody S: Windows Vista Business, Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 @ 2.8 GHz, 4Gb de RAM<br>
FreeSwitch: CentOS 5.4, Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz, 1Gb RAM<br><div><br></div><div>Congratulations! You made a great product!</div><div>-- <br>Fernando Gregianin Testa<br>Voice Technology Ltda<br>+55 11 35882166<br>
