Reviews

Mattf writes:

the strengths of Bayonne:
  • Runs on Dialogic, Pika and other widely available hardware
  • extremely reliable, mine never crashes

and here are the weaknesses:
  • nowhere near as active of a support community as Asterisk has
  • configuration of the hardware/drivers is a nightmare compared to Asterisk/Digium
  • it is quite limited in it's included apps, IVR and voicemail
  • not as many options for scripting as Asterisk
  • it was not designed to have full PBX functionality, some PBX functionality is added as afterthought
  • the code/organization/flow is not as well thought out or documented as Asterisk is

Note: This review refers to Bayonne 1. Some of the criticisms do not apply to Bayonne 2.

333From Bayonne to Asterisk

by joannaxxvi, Wednesday 14 of February, 2007 [11:30:49 UTC]
We are selling a prepaid card in Tokyo, customers who buys our card will have to register and to register you have to dial a certain phone number. This is where Bayonne plays its part, an IVR will handle the call, determine the caller id, check if the customer is already registered or not, it can also handle reloading of balance. For example if customer reaches its minimum balance and wants to reload etc..Actually we were quite satisfied with what it can do, it can also call and run external scripts and its really reliable. But then new requirements came, we were asked to scale the project, to include call queuing, conferences,voicemail,call recording and some othe PBX functionality and to top it all we will be selling a new product and this product should have its own system. At first we are still willing to make it work with Bayonne, we did some researched and checked if we could hacked it, but then there was not enough support. Thats when we decided to switch from Bayonne to Asterisk and we are glad that we did.
