Here at Telco Depot, we like to provide the customer with the least expensive solution possible for their business phone system.
The least expensive systems we sell are the Xblue X16 and Syspine Response Point. If one of these systems can meet their needs, we are happy to save the customer some money.
If a customer is looking to set up remote locations, have flexible ringing options, and extensive call routing capabilities we recommend going with a Talkswitch or Allworx system.
Both of these systems share many common features, however, there are some key differences between the two. I have listed the pros and cons for each system below to let you draw your own conclusion as to what system is best for you.
talkswitch
Pros
- Does not require professional installation
- Programming is user friendly
- More affordable phone options
- Slightly less expensive per user
Cons
- Only 16 Max users per server (compared to Allworx w/30 expandable to 60)
- Difficult to configure multiple servers
- Requires client software for administration (software needs to be installed on any computer that uses administration)
allworx
Pros
- Very High Quality
- Extremely Flexible
- Unlimited # of VoIP channels at no extra cost (compared to 8 max per server w/Talkswitch)
- Great for remote phones and multi-sights
- Browser based administration (can access admin from any computer, does not conflict w/your operating system)
Cons
- Requires professional installation
- More flexibility means more difficult to program
- Expensive to go beyond 6 analog telephone lines
We will be posting a more comprhensive feature comparison this week.
Hopefully this will provide you with a basic comparison between the Talkswitch and Allworx systems.
