The E-SBC works well in situations where you are working with multiple carriers and/or multiple phone systems and need to route either by IP, sender info or inbound phone numbers.
I find that companies that require faxing to go through the E-SBC seem to be a little less stable than competitor devices.

Pros
  • High capacity for call volume in a chassis with a low rack space requirement makes this gateway a great solution especially when you need more than one!
  • The ability to have redundant interfaces to the carrier, the network & redundant power supplies, makes these devices perfect for disaster recovery planning.
  • Ease of configuration via GUI without having specific CLI experience makes it a pleasure to implement the AudioCodes E-SBC with various circuit types. The GUI is particularly helpful when you are about to add a parameter that is incorrect and the device changes the color to let you know.
  • The low price tag compared to other brands, helps customers easily deploy these gateways to more sites with less cost overhead than others.
  • The SBC/firewall capabilities of these devices make it very simple to allow or block traffic from specific IP's or proxy groups
  • AudioCodes support is fantastic. They are helpful to diagnose issues even after it becomes clear that the problem is outside the device and with the carrier or network.

Alternatives Considered
AudioCodes E-SBC's are preferred for use with our VOIP customers due to their ability to scale up and interface with multiple networks in a single chassis for far less than other competitors. We have found that the AudioCodes devices routinely come with more power at the base level than others as well.
