From my experience Polycom and SNOM are expensive but give you what you need. Polycom is more intutive to the users but more cumbersome for the manager to deploy; SNOM is somewhat less intuitive to the user but everything can be set via the WEB interface.

If you talk about 4-5 phones, then probably SNOM is the choice. It also depends about the specific functions you want to use. I our specific environment (high use of BLF and shared lines) Polycom wins because it handles these functions just as the user expects.

I did not try Aastra so cannot testify. We did test Yealink, Thomson, Asterphone, SipTip and maybe others I forgot. Cisco also seems good but Cisco does not supply the required socumentation to make them fully working.

Sure, those phones do not deliver superior usability, but they at
least give the best sound among budget models.
