Both Shoretel and Allworx invited us to the office. Both were a bit far from us.
Which one did you go with?

We ended up with Allworx, it complements our product line well. It fits in the under 20 endpoint market well as it is feature rich and priced right. I am sure that the Ipitomy product is good too, but I do not have direct experience with it.

IPitomy will do a live demo with you on line, just call them.

Personally a live demo/webinar is not very productive - it is an easy way for a manufacturer to show you what they want you to see.

Its a good introduction but I want one in my hands that we can play with and see how it really performs before I make a purchase decision.

If they wont send you a system and a couple of phones, come to you or you go to them and its only an internet demo - LET THE BUYER BEWARE.

Allworx is also a nice little system backed by an owner with lots of $$$$$.

IPitomy is privately held so who knows how deep the pockets are to keep it going.

Shoretel - better have clients with lots of $$$$

I'm surprised these new manufactures of IP Systems do not do at least regional demo's for possible new vendors.

I think they have all become just telemarketers, make the fast cash and deal with the issues later.

At least make sure they will give you a 30 day return option.

I saw the Ipitomy in a live demo this past week. It's ok, I wasn't overly impressed except by the price.

IMHO Allworx kicks a$$ for a pure IP system. Their proprietory phones are better.

I agree with the phones - the IPitomy 550 is just not very appealing to me and others that have looked at it.

Does Allworx support cordless SIP/DECT phones?

Thats the problem with Web demo's, you see nothing in person.

We need to install some paging horns in the warhouse on an IP1000 that we installed a couple of months ago. I would guess we need to use a spare co port, anyone know which Viking interface to use here? We will use 24v horns. Thanks

If you have a spare analog port then you could use a Viking CPA-7B. 7 watt amp and it will open for paging immediately on ring. It also comes with 1 horn.
