We did not encounter any issues with stability. The system is stable, if all the necessary site and installation standards are adhered to.
We did not encounter any issues with scalability. Prior planning is essential to support growth, since the system has a capability range from six users to more than 1000.
The rate of technical support is exceptional. The support engineers are very knowledgeable about the products.

Licensing and pricing is an issue. Pricing is an issue, because we have to go through a distributor, who then has to access Alcatel/Lucent.
