Call recording, call logging, and the stability are pivotal features for our clients
We mainly replace old telephony equipment. If, for instance, there is an old Alcatel telephone system (digital or analog), and the customer asks us for a new option for IP telephony, then we offer both the Cisco- and Asterisk-based systems. We know the billing, we know the pricing of the items and what we can offer with both solutions. There are multiple factors involved when selecting a vendor * stability * support * features. If the product is stable, the product has good support, and it has enough features which we can offer to our clients, then the product is under our consideration.

​The server itself does load balancing however building a fail-over for it is difficult
The server itself does load balancing however the most difficult thing I found was building a fail-over for it. However, if you want to build a fail-over for it that's the tricky part since most sip traffic is routed using UDP. There are plenty of amazing TCP load balancers out there such as HAProxy but none for UDP. You need to use something like Keepalive and fail-over IP and restart the server on fail-over
