Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Have used FreePBX since 2007 and reliable and stable PBX, since then Sangoma have added lots of new features that any business could use. I think as in a free system, FreePBX is great if you have technical knowledge to set it up. Cons I can't say I have ever used their support, but seem lots more expensive than big vendors like Cisco for support. I am sure to compete in this arena they will improve the support model. The system is good, so might not need support most answers are found online. The only reason for support are bugs that may come up.	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Enjoyable when it works. Such a shame that everything is handled by bots they need a costumer service. It offers very easy to connect with friends and family using it's an intuitive video and messaging services. The video was clean and crisp. The group is great to interact with my colleagues. Chat groups can support up to 200 friends, so easy to add all of your friends. It has free voice and video calling. Works on all platform as mobile phone and personal computer. It has funny face play feature which makes fun to share. Cons -block accounts for no reason, no warning or any sort of information. -losing account regularly. -no customer service. No cons I ever had using this. Worked great for me. There is no "chat delete for everyone" so you can't delete if you sent some messages by mistake.
