“The Ribbon SBC series rated ‘very strong’ among our comparison set of session border control solutions,” said John Byrne, GlobalData’s Service Director, Telecom Technology & Software. “Ribbon has done an effective job integrating the assets it acquired from Edgewater, enhancing those assets with Ribbon’s strengths in analytics and security to create new edge and core use cases in the enterprise. Ribbon is also partnering smartly with partners such as Microsoft and AWS to burnish its public cloud credentials, and the company is building a solid bridge for enterprises to embrace containerization and cloud-native architectures at their own pace.”
Byrne added, “Ribbon has been innovative in defining new use cases for its enterprise SBCs. For example, Ribbon is one of only a few vendors certified by Microsoft for its Direct Routing, which enables enterprises to connect on-premises telephony infrastructure seamlessly to Microsoft Teams. Also, unlike many competitive products, Ribbon SBCs are certified for E911.”
