Is Allworx right for your company’s phone system?

When you compare features, turns out you’re better off with Vodia.

Apps for Remote Users

You can connect your customers to the Vodia App, which is available for iOS. We give you Android and Windows Desktop, SMS support, presences, chat and more. The Allworx app doesn’t support SMS and chat.

Use Your Existing SIP Trunks

Connect your SIP trunk provider to the Vodia PBX with our pre-loaded templates – all you have to do is enter the SIP trunk provider’s account information. Vodia will register with the trunk provider and automatically create a dial plan, so your users can start making and receiving calls right away.

Use Your Existing IP Phones

Vodia supports all IP phones that “talk” SIP – we even provision them! This means the Vodia PBX will auto-configure each phone with your customer’s name, extension number, the IP phone buttons and more. No need for new phones. Allworx? It doesn’t support full auto-configure (no RPS server).

Turn Your Customers into Subscribers

Stop giving away your leads to other companies. With Vodia, you keep your relationships with your customers and the revenue you derive from servicing them. Healthy long-term relationships build value for you and for your customers.

Why Area Codes Still Matter in a Mobile World

Even in 2025, area codes remain important for personal and business communications. People move frequently but usually keep their original phone numbers because changing them is inconvenient and tied to banking, two-factor authentication, and multiple online accounts. For PBX administrators, area codes are essential for routing calls accurately, displaying the correct caller ID, and managing costs. Vodia PBX simplifies area code management with pattern-based dial plans, automatic updates, and smart trunk selection. This ensures that calls reach the right destination efficiently, maintain a local presence to increase pickup rates, and provide reliable communication both in North America and internationally.

Keycloak OpenID Connect Integration for the Vodia PBX

Vodia’s PBX now integrates with Keycloak OpenID Connect, providing secure single sign-on for users so they can access all connected applications without repeated authentication. Logging out from one application automatically logs the user out of all connected systems, simplifying user management and improving security. Keycloak, a Cloud Native Computing Foundation project, supports standard protocols including OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, and SAML, offering enterprise-grade identity and access management. To ensure proper integration, Keycloak user emails must match the corresponding PBX extension emails. Complete guidance is available in the Vodia Keycloak integration guide.
