Hi Simon,
    Though i hold the view that freeswitch will be winning hands up in most of categories, except security flaws and fix-around time, since we havent had any security flaws in FS till now...YET its my view that FS shouldnt be brought up for benchmarking against other solutions just yet. SipX and Asterisk have been around since long, and widely adopted, so more n more people can comment about them, but FS ain't seen the light of the day yet...so its too premature to put it in the fighting ring right now.

Of course, thats my personal view, and someone can differ.
 
An user base of at least .5 million user base should be enough (of which at least 10% are sort of gurus) would be enough when this matrix can be put up.

Cheers!!

Excellent and important initiative, IMHO.

I believe FreeSWITCH have sufficient objective advantages compared to not
only open-source solutions, but commercial ones as well. I think that it can
stand out even in a non-biased matrix.

Take a look at these comparisons as a reference:

But it all depends on the purpose of the matrix in the first place. Just a
thought.

I would certainly agree the security is important. Responsiveness to
security flaws is one thing.

I think another point of valuation would be average bugs per year or
month, weighted accordingly (pre-auth remote command execution should
have a greater weight than an xss in the built-in web server).

Though, that might turn into a whole other book. ;]
