I do not know Broadsoft and do not know Freeswitch so I will not compare them with other products. I don't like comparing products I don't know, but I have a big respect for "commercial" grade software. Having to deal with a big, structured, hierarchical company is always a pleasure. I feel comfortable while I explain my problems to my contact person for the company who takes care of explaining them to the engineering, get the answer and report to me, avoiding obscure technical words I often cannot understand. What about support, yeah... I really like the way commercial grade software nannies me with good music while I wait in line for the right person to help me.

Let?s not make this about Asterisk vs. FreeSwitch or why open source can do anything the commercial players can do (even if they can do it better or offered it years earlier).
The original poster asked about alternatives to Broadsoft with special attention to multi tenancy and commercial offerings. To my knowledge neither Asterisk (Digium) nor FreeSwitch offer a commercially viable product that competes directly with Broadsoft or provides a service provider management interface. My assumption is that the interface for provisioning and user management etc. is the driving force behind the use of the word ?commercial? but I prefer not to make that assumption and ask the original poster to clarify those points.

Our asterisk system is peaking at over 800 standing calls without breaking a sweat.

From what I have been told, Asterisk can handle 300 simultaneous calls per user. Most ITSPs wouldn't know because they aren't seeing that kind of volume.
Cbeyond bought a company called Aretta that did Asterisk in containers - one for each customer. It became unmanageable.
Just some thoughts this morning.
