Quick Summary |
MOR is a feature-rich platform and is a great choice for those who want to offer various services under one platform and don’t have a huge call volume. It has a more extensive API and more small features that might be useful for you. | M4 is more robust, more scalable, and can handle a few times higher call volume.

Work behind NAT |
MOR can work behind NAT. If your clients are behind NAT, it’s better to use MOR because it handles such cases better. |
M4 can work behind NAT. However, it is not made to work with clients behind NAT. M4 does not handle local IPs placed in SIP headers. If you are planning to work with clients under NAT who use multiple registrations from one IP, use MOR. |
