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: http://www.voip-news.com/whitepaper/voip-ip-pbx-comparison/ http://www.networkworld.com/buyersguides/guide.php?cat=877966&pcw_bg=&mt=com pare http://coreg.tmginteractive.com/display/FullPage/Campaign943/OpenWhitePaper. aspx But it all depends on the purpose of the matrix in the first place. Just a thought. -----Original Message----- From: freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of John Skopis (Lists) Sent: Sunday, August 03, 2008 11:06 AM To: freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] Comparison matirx Grey Man wrote: [snip]
One suggestion I'd have for another row is "Security Fix Rate". For example while the Asterisk community's approach to handling security releases is commendable the rate at which they happen is a real pain when you have to potentially upgrade a production system for each one. Although the pain comes from having to worry about whether the version of Asterisk that you need to upgrade to will be one of the stable or dud versions!
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. ;] _______________________________________________ Freeswitch-users mailing list Freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-users UNSUBSCRIBE:http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-users http://www.freeswitch.org No virus found in this incoming message.
