I have ran asterisk, coppercom, Taqua, broadsoft, killed off DMSs, still killing C15 traffic, and Meta. Meta is by far the best but I do not pay the bills. Combined with perimeta and SAS they are a very nice experience overall. Meta support is also pretty good. We still do a lot of legacy TDM but mainly SIP/hosted pbx now days. So the UMGs still play a pretty big role to the point we are even migrating to new UMGs so we can continue to upgrade to the newest code. Now I cannot pretend to know or have used what else is out there like Sonus or whatever I see some of the bigger players using but I would be super hesitant to even think about leaving meta due to our needs. For hosted PBX broadsoft stand alone redundant servers were ok.. no real complaints except constant code upgrades and patching back when I was using them. They worked nicely. The broadsoft service that they hosted and you paid for connections to which I did not setup was silly expensive. I just helped move off of that. At this point in time I really do not know of a meta replacement if you want a full blown switch that can do most everything and scale to multiple states. We are not doing their new virtualization stuff on commodity hardware yet for most pieces. AMS servers sure we do but not the rest. I get all the lingo mixed up with so many brands/years/age so excuse any mistake above but if someone can suggest a meta replacement I would be curious to know of it.

Who else operates at that tier? I'm talking to Ribbon. I'm hesitant to talk to to Broadsoft because they're part of Cisco, but if I should, I should... Obviously, there are rather limited venues to gain third-party feedback on the platforms, so I figured I'd ask here.
