“calls connect properly”
Pros
Unlike some free softphones that run into bugs like call timeouts, this one gave me a really good experience even in the trial version. Calls connect properly and I haven't had issues getting them through.
Cons
Logging out on the web version is simple but on mobile it's much harder to do.

“affordable tool”
Pros
Compared with other options on the market, the pricing is noticeably lower. After spending a little time getting used to it, the software becomes quite simple to use and set up. The calling experience is also highly customizable especially for situations when no one is available to answer and the drag and drop setup makes those adjustments uncomplicated.
Cons
A downside is that you need to install third party software to enable bridging before everything works properly. Support after the sale is also not very helpful so it's better to rely on their chat support rather than the person you worked with during the purchase process.

“packed with useful features”
Pros
This being open source is a huge plus because it makes the app auditable and adds a level of security I really appreciate. It also comes with a wide range of features which means it covers everything I need without feeling limited.
Cons
Something that could be better is the support since it feels a bit lacking at times. I'd also love to see more emojis included.
