About

PBXware is the world’s first and most mature IP PBX Professional Open Standards Turnkey Telephony Platform. Since 2004, PBXware has deployed flexible, reliable, and scalable Next Generation Communication Systems and VoIP solutions to Small and Medium sized Businesses (SMBs), enterprises, Internet Telephony Service Providers (ITSPs), Call Centers and governments worldwide by combining the most advanced of the latest technologies. Bicom Systems’ softswitch is offered in Business, Contact Center and Multi-Tenant Editions, each supporting specific features maximizing performance, reliability, and expandability.

Why PBXware is Better than CloudTalk

PBXware is better than CloudTalk for providers who want to own their customers instead of referring them. CloudTalk partners earn a commission, while the customer signs CloudTalk's terms and stays under its brand. Bicom sells PBXware only through partners, so the customer and the price are yours, and the optional white label add-on puts your brand on every app. You choose where it runs, in our private cloud, your public cloud or on your own servers, rather than in a single vendor cloud. You pick the SIP carrier and Bicom stays out of that line. Desk phones from 100+ vendors connect with SIP TLS and SRTP encryption. On CloudTalk, outbound calls over your own carrier may carry an extra usage fee, SIP phones stay off until support enables them, and SRTP is not used. On PBXware, customers grow from queues to wallboards on one multi-tenant install, then to a six channel contact center with CX Pro on its own dedicated deployment.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Auto calling recording, auto transcription, auto dialer, easy to install, easy to integrate, easy to use, best calling software.
  • Installation and configuration is quite straightforward. Their smart speed dialer tool speeds up call making and cuts down on time spent keying in numbers.
  • Incredible experience in general. Having utilized other call suppliers, I can unhesitatingly say CloudTalk brings the best incentive for your cash.
  • The application adapts perfectly with our business requirements and a strong point to note is the fact that it is able to record telephone calls and store them which can be of great help to you in the event of conflict with a customer.
  • The best benefit of the software is its monthly payable there is no annual membership needed. Cloudtalk helps to solve our problem to outreach interested customers. Fantastic support and staff.

Cons

  • Pricing may be a bit high for small organizations.
  • Pricing is higher which should be reduced and their windows application needs some improvements.
  • I really tried to search out any major disadvantage in this product but no such major issue found but always improvement required. There have been a few issues with the portable application, but there has been a new update to the application so these issues will ideally be a relic of past times.
  • The major drawback lies at the level of the calls or it can have connection problems or unstable network, making communication difficult.
  • There is nothing that comes to my mind.

It covers the needs of small to enterprise-level businesses. Scalability: The platform is highly scalable, allowing businesses to easily expand their telephony infrastructure as they grow. Customization: PBXware provides extensive customization options, enabling users to tailor their phone system to meet their specific requirements. Reliability: With its robust architecture, PBXware delivers reliable performance, ensuring minimal downtime for business communication.

Excellent Customer Support: We have had a positive experience with Bicom's customer support team, citing prompt responses, knowledgeable staff, and effective issue resolution.
  • I have the pleasure of using this innovative communication platform and I must say, it's a game-changer. Its compatibility across various devices, including mobile apps, web, and desktop environments (Windows, Ubuntu, and Mac), ensures seamless connectivity no matter where I am or what device I'm using. The platform stands out for its crystal-clear interface, which makes navigation and operation a breeze. This user-friendly design is perfect for both tech-savvy individuals and those who are less familiar with digital platforms. One of the most impressive features is its multi-tenant capability. This aspect allows for efficient management of different organizational units or customer accounts, all within a single, unified framework. It's an ideal solution for businesses looking to streamline their communication processes. Another commendable feature is the robust SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) protection mechanism. This security measure ensures that all communications are secure and protected from potential threats, giving me peace of mind when sharing sensitive information. In summary, this platform is not just a tool; it's a comprehensive solution for modern communication needs. Its stability, cross-platform compatibility, user-friendly interface, and top-notch security features make it an indispensable asset for personal and professional communication.
  • Having originally started on Version 2 of PBXware; The latest version 7.x has every feature under the sun that any business is looking for in a cloud based phone system. Features such as shared call appearance and ringing on multiple devices is easy to implement and set up. The companion app Communicator (now Version 7) completes this offering adding meetings and remote desktop support too.
  • PBXware probably is the best solution for Telcos that want to offer to their customer a very good solution of unified communication. The APP suite are very complete with desktop , web and mobile version.. All versions are customizable with company brand logo.
  • The easy of use. It works, stable and is feature rich. The GUI is well presented and the addition of sipPROT 5 to standalone is fantastic.
  • We as a company have used PBXware for over 5 years. The product is easy to deploy on a multi-user platform. It simply works well for all types of applications and meets the demands of our end users. Customer support is also very knowledgeable when we have any type of question regarding special configurations. The portal used by the end users is easy to navigate which makes them more independent.
  • - straightforward initial setup - simple to use, even for the beginners - works on pretty much any platform, on prem or in cloud - well maintained and constantly updated - support team is exceptional and always available
  • True transformation from where we started with 3.4 and where we are now with PBXware 7. I am using the PBXware Multi-Tenant /Call Center Editions from past 10 years, we started the with 3.4 with 32bit OS and it was very stable and reliable during that time itself with no apps. With version 7 everything has been transformed to latest technology with more flexible and more reliable, excellent design, features, ease of use, collaborative, more important with STRONG security. KUDOS to everyone in this revolution of PBXware V7. One STOP Place for all the communication needs.
  • - Bicom's Support Teams is top notch. I deal with a ton of vendors and they are right there at the top of my list in terms of quality and responsiveness. Over the 7+ years I have been working with Bicom, they have consistently gotten better and better. - The features currently available on the PBXware platform are solid. Though it does occasionally happen, it is rare that I encounter an existing or prospective client who requests a feature or has a requirement that is not currently available on the PBXware platform. - Bicom's Development Team is active, listens and solicits feedback from their customers about feature development. - Since early 2021, Bicom has opened up the lines of communication with their partners through their forum. This forum is used for Bicom to harvest details about feature requests, future development efforts and for their customers to engage with each other to offer advice regarding technical hurdles, among other things. - The platform is very reasonably priced, especially when compared to other popular vendors such as Ring Central and 3CX.
  • The best thing about PW is that it is constantly evolving. I was lucky enough to see this product mature from v3 8 years ago to v7 today. The team is great when it comes to providing support and the product is solid when it comes to tailoring it to the needs of any customer.

Our multi-tenant platform lets service providers deliver a complete business phone system to clients of any size, under their own brand, from a single installation. PBXware handles call routing, IVR, hot-desking, call recording, and conferencing. gloCOM brings voice, video, chat, and meetings into one interface across desktop, mobile, and web, which simplifies both the user experience and the support overhead. Multi-CRM support in v8 means call activity logs automatically to each user's CRM, reducing manual data entry across the board. For clients ready for contact center capabilities, CC Lite adds ERG callback, real-time wallboards, and scheduled reports as a clean upsell with no migration required.

Business VoIP Supported

Our VoIP solution pairs PBXware with gloCOM: the PBX handles the infrastructure, gloCOM handles what the user actually sees and touches. Calls follow the person across desktop, mobile (iOS and Android), and web on the same number, which removes the friction of being tied to a specific device or location. With v8 multi-CRM support, conversation history logs automatically to each user's CRM across all channels and devices, so client data stays accurate without additional manual work. gloCOM Next runs on a unified codebase across desktop and web, with full branding control through BRM. Fully white-label, so providers own the customer relationship from end to end.

Call Center Supported

White-label and built for service providers, offers partners a fully omnichannel contact center they can bring to market under their own brand (or lighter CC capabilities under a different plan). Agents work from a single workspace across voice, SMS, email, live chat, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger, which matters because customers expect continuity regardless of channel. Supervisors get wallboards, live queue visibility, and 40 plus reports, so decisions are based on what is actually happening, not what happened an hour ago. With v8, Voice Agents extend coverage to hours when agents are not available, and multi-CRM support ensures every interaction is automatically logged to the right record without manual entry. Four outbound dialer strategies let providers match the tool to the campaign type.

Cloud PBX Supported

Our Cloud PBX runs PBXware on SERVERware, our hosting and infrastructure platform built specifically for communications. The distinction matters in practice: geo-redundancy, automatic failover, and storage replication are part of the foundation PBXware runs on, so a hardware failure stays at the infrastructure level and never reaches the customer. Providers scale by adding hosts as their client base grows, with services running uninterrupted throughout. Multi-tenant architecture means multiple clients managed from a single installation, and the entire stack is fully white-label, so providers deliver it under their own brand at their own margins.

PBX Supported

PBXware is Asterisk-based, built on open standards, and in active development since 2004, which makes it the oldest platform of its kind still evolving. Open standards give providers real flexibility, with compatibility across the SIP infrastructure and hardware clients already have in place. The platform comes in three plans covering everything from full-featured PBX and UC through to omnichannel contact center. Providers can deploy Voice Agents and Live Transcription in days, run multiple CRMs in parallel per tenant with automatic activity logging, and connect real-time call events to their clients' automation tools through the Event Publisher. PBXware runs on SERVERware, sipPROT secures it at the SIP level, and gloCOM Next connects end users across desktop, mobile, and web. Fully white-label.

Telephony Supported

PBXware connects clients to their carriers and handles everything the call infrastructure needs: SIP trunking, call routing, IVR, auto-provisioning, and hot-desking. It is built on open standards, which in practice means providers can work with the SIP infrastructure and hardware their clients already have in place. With v8, AI capabilities are manageable through AI Hub and ready to deploy in days, covering Voice Agents, Live Transcription, and Text to Speech. The Event Publisher publishes real-time call events as structured JSON the moment they happen, so clients can connect PBXware to their CRM tools without custom development. Available in a true multi-tenant architecture, on cloud or on-premise, Bicom branded or fully white-label.

UCaaS Supported

Our platform is built for service providers delivering unified communications as a managed service under their own brand. Multi-tenancy means each client gets an isolated configuration on a shared installation, which keeps infrastructure lean and margins healthy as the client base grows. For providers with clients running full contact center operations, our omnichannel CC offers agent and supervisor workspaces, skill-based routing, dialer, and 40 plus reports. The full UC stack is included across all plans: voice, video, chat, meetings, and v8 AI features covering Voice Agents, Live Transcription, and multi-CRM support with automatic activity logging across channels and devices. gloCOM Next is the client-facing app, fully brandable. We handle development, updates, and support, so providers focus on growing their business.

Our UC platform brings PBXware and gloCOM together into a single product that service providers can bring to market under their own brand. Voice, video, chat, meetings, and presence run in one interface across desktop, mobile, and web, on a unified codebase that keeps the desktop and web experience consistent and easier to support. v8 multi-CRM support runs multiple CRMs in parallel per tenant, with conversation history logging automatically across all channels and devices, so client data is always where it needs to be. AI capabilities through AI Hub add Voice Agents and Live Transcription for providers looking to differentiate. Fully white-label, with branding managed through BRM.
