Been taking a long look at Grandstream. Really impressed so far. No licensing. Very reasonable pricing.
We are primarily a Samsung Officeserv dealer and the name sells, but Samsung has been dangling the carrot on a small-med IP platform for a long time and a few months back the word came down that it isn't going to happen.
Looked at ESI also.
Selling the Grandstream gives us a leg up on competing against hosted systems because of trunking leverage, SIP commissions (ClearFly), and the customer ownership/ROI.
IF anyone is installing the newer line of Grandstream products please chime in.
I am OLD SCHOOL and still pro-digital exts to the bitter end in MOST installs.
Most times there simply is no benefit to IP phones and they are a pain. What is the benefit of installing (specifically) a Samsung IP phone in house vs digital - answer - none.
But systems like this Grandstream are a completely different animal.
Large color Android display phone for the cost of a 90s-looking Samsung iDCS or DS phone.
I mean finally there is a real reason to (possibly LOL) get excited about selling an IP system.
