I think Asterisk is getting a little bit ahead of itself. First, let me say that I have personally set up an Asterisk system for my company. But it is clearly not a product that is ready for prime-time. It is a LONG way from being the Apache of VOIP.

While Asterisk can generally be made to work for small setups, it is A HUGE PAIN! It is a nightmare to debug the SIP connections that are necessary for just a simple set up. Also, the configuration files a stupidly arcane and the documentation next to worthless.

Finally, Asterisk is not scalable at all. That is why big VOIP setups use programs like sipX and OpenSER.

I’m not saying that Asterisk couldn’t be fixed, improved and made more stable and scalable. But until that happens I don’t think real companies are going to be dropping their hardware solutions any time soon.
