What's The Difference?
Customers frequently asked why Digium offers both the free Asterisk software engine and the commercial Switchvox phone system. The answer is simple: while both products fit into the larger universe of VoIP communication systems, they have very different purposes and are geared towards very different audiences.
Asterisk is built for telephony developers and solution providers. Switchvox is built for business. If you want to create a custom telephony product or solution, Asterisk is great. If you need a powerful, easy to install, easy to maintain, reasonably priced phone system for up to 400 users, then check out Swichvox.
