Bria is a carrier-grade next generation softphone application that enables you to manage your communications easily and efficiently - all from your computer desktop. Replacing or complementing your hard phone, the Bria softphone allows you to make VoIP and Video calls over IP, see when your contacts are available, send Instant Messages and transfer files with ease and efficiency. Built on SIP and open standards, Bria is proven interoperable with many of the industry's standard platforms and devices. It now also includes features specifically designed for business and enterprise users and can be deployed within an enterprise environment either by manual configuration via the softphone Graphical User Interface (GUI) or by using a provisioning server.
This software has been very stable running on a MacBook Pro. The OS X client ties in nicely with VoIP-based deskphones as well. All-in, the voice quality is consistent over a line that's 25 Mbps download/2 Mbps upload.
Cons
The interface is kind of clunky and feels like a Windows port to OS X.
Summary
In summary, this is a respectable piece of software. I had to comment because the only comment here was extremely negative and this simply has not been my experience with this software or with CounterPath's customer service who have all been very professional.
We also paid for iPhone clients, which also work well.
DON'T buy this software

Pros
When it works, it works
Cons
Flakey. I can't answer the phone on my computer. I have lost count of the hours I have spent trying to make it work. Customer service is a JOKE. Caveat Emptor.
