<br>
I'm currently working on a PBX solution for customers of my<br>
company(Small to medium businesses) and since i have to make sure my<br>
colleagues and customers don't have to dig into the depths of<br>
Freeswitch i need a graphical interface for the most mundane tasks.<br>
<br>
I've spent the last week evaluating FusionPBX and while i was excited<br>
at first, i stumbled over a few bugs(Which i could partially solve<br>
myself) and had to dig a bit in the code, so i'm not that thrilled<br>
anymore. Before i stay with FusionPBX and try to learn some more php<br>
and work my way through the code(Is there no ORM in php or did Mark<br>
just leave it out?) and add what i'm missing, i'd like to spend<br>
another few days trying other projects.<br>
<br>
Since it takes a while to get to understand a new webinterface and its<br>
quirks, i wanted to ask here first if the other options are even worth<br>
the time. I think the alternatives are blue.box and WikiPBX?<br>
<br>
What i'm specifically looking for are:<br>
<br>
- Proper AAA/groups<br>
I want to be able to have a "root"-admin(SuperAdmin in FusionPBX) that<br>
has access to the full GUI, a local admin(Admin in FusionPBX) that can<br>
change call-relevant features like conferences, dialplans, follow me,<br>
voicemail, CDRs and such and finally users, who can only change<br>
settings for their own extension and have access to their voicemail<br>
and CDRs. Ideally the root-admin should be able to modify what<br>
options/features the "lower" groups are able to manipulate(Switch<br>
on/off GUI-elements). FusionPBX offers that partially - but the "local<br>
admin" has too much rights and i can't change its rights dynamically.<br>
<br>
- A layer between GUI and configfiles(e.g. a database)<br>
I'll have to do some bulk-provisioning with a script from csv-files<br>
and if i can write user-information to a DB instead of creating<br>
xml-files it would make my life easier<br>
<br>
- Feature configuration<br>
Dialplans are complex and individual and i can comprehend that i won't<br>
find an interface that supports all the features i need.<br>
FusionPBX was satisfying in this regard, i didn't miss too much and<br>
while i couldn't trust a customer to setup his PBX with a complex<br>
configuration with Time Conditions, Hunt Groups, Follow-Me etc. i<br>
think at least our 2nd level support would be happy to use the gui<br>
instead of tinkering with the flatfiles. And i hope my time allows me<br>
to implement some of the needed features to FusionPBX(If i don't find<br>
a better alternative).<br>
Some of them are: Voicemail(Setup and file-access),<br>
Huntgroups/FollowMe, Recording, Click2Call, Conferences, CDRs,<br>
AutoAttendant/IVR, MOH, TimeConditions, Directory, BossSec/ChefSek and<br>
other dubious features asked for by upper mgmt<br>
<br>
- Phone provisioning<br>
It would be nice to be able to add a MAC-adress to a newly created<br>
extension and the rest is taken care of by the GUI-scripts. FusionPBX<br>
has this feature, but i didn't have time to try it yet(And i'll have<br>
to adapt the templates to fit the phones i'm going to use, hope it<br>
really works). Nice to have, if not it shouldn't be too much work to<br>
write a custom script that can take care of that, given provisioning<br>
data from the GUI.<br>
<br>
- Written in a language i don't have to learn(Python)<br>
WikiPBX is based on Django - yes! "<a href="http://www.wikipbx.org/" target="_blank">http://www.wikipbx.org/</a> -> Current<br>
Status -> CDR issues improved -> 11 Feb 2010" - Crap! Is this project<br>
as dead as it seems or is it just so mature there's no further<br>
development needed? The screenshots look a bit minimalistic.<br>
<br>
<br>
That's all i need in a perfect world. I guess none of the projects<br>
mentioned above can do that for me - but i'd still love to hear your<br>
opinions and experiences if it's even worth the time to install/try<br>
any of them or stick with FusionPBX!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Christian<br>
