![Digium Switchvox – Reviews & Comments from Real People Around The Web](https://teledynamic.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/digium_switchvox_reviews_comments.jpg)
At TeleDynamic, we get a lot of questions about different small business PBX servers and the companies that make and support them.
Many people want to know what real users and reviewers are actually saying about these products – not just the standard corporate marketing gobbledygook.
So far, we reviewed Avaya IP Office 500, ShoreTel 13, the Cisco UC320W and the Cisco 500 Series, and the Mitel 5000.
Today we look at the Digium Switchvox.
Disclaimer: Despite our position as the leading Digium Switchvox Dealer in the Bay Area, we wish to maintain our commitment to providing unbiased, informative content about VoIP PBX Servers for SMBs. To this end, the information below is without fear or favor.

Digium Switchvox Reviews
From Talking Pointz
Digium’s Switchvox is an impressive package that simplifies the UC experience for both administrators and users. Underneath the hood, Switchvox is powered by Asterisk. This means core call processing is both an independent and a robust offering (though tightly integrated). As a result, the vast majority of the R&D for Switchvox relates to its interface – and it shows! Read More…

From Bugtraq
Multiple persistent input validation vulnerabilities are detected in the Switchvox Appliance with Asterisk v5.1.2. The bugs allow remote attackers to implement/inject malicious script code on the application side. The vulnerabilities are located in setup and tools modules of the admin panel. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability can lead to session hijacking (manager/admin) or stable context manipulation. Exploitation requires low user interaction & low or medium privileged user web application account. Read More…

We have a brand new Switchvox implementation (v 5.5.5) with mostly Digium phones, a few Polycom conference phones, a T-1 PRI card, and an 8 port FXS analog card…the issue we keep coming across is the modems pick up the DTMF tone for the queue extension, not the incoming DID. Read More…

I stay away from Shortel, expensive and not very easy to program, in fact they make no sense to me lol. Trixbox is ok but every now and then funky things happen, not other way to explain it, just strange crap randomly happens lol. 3cx I now run at home and I have had zero problems with it, I use it with Voip.ms trunk and quality has been great. I have not used any advanced features but its pretty good so far. Have a client with Digium, their support is HORRID I advise you stay away. Read More…

From Polycom Community
I work for a company that a few months ago purchased a Digium Switchvox server and large number of Polycom 335 and IP6000 phones. Originally the Sr. Network Engineer had seperate vlans for user workstations and a vlan for voice. The IP6000 originally profiled and worked fine. Well we discovered polycom does not support split vlans. Read More…
