Support Tiers Explained

Professional Support  

Professional Support is included in the base license and is ideal for customers who need basic assistance and a standard response time. This tier provides email ticketing support, where questions are submitted.

You can expect answers within three working days. Customers also receive a yearly one-to-one customer support session focused on usage guidance and best practices. 

  

Advanced Support 

Advanced Support is intended for customers who require a more hands-on approach. In addition to everything offered in Professional Support, you’ll have three one-to-one technical support sessions per year. These technical sessions offer direct, expert-level troubleshooting and configuration guidance.

 

Advanced Support is available for an additional fee; please refer to the pricing page for an exact estimate. 

Premium Support  

Premium Support is designed for organizations that require the highest level of support. Customers receive email ticketing support with a guaranteed response within one working day. For urgent issues submitted during business hours, responses are delivered within three hours.

 

Premium Support includes up to six technical support sessions per year, with scheduling priority. Like Advanced Support, this tier includes 24/7 phone support through a dedicated number and a dedicated client contact. The expert-driven health check is also available to Premium customers and requires a minimum of two weeks’ notice to book.

 

Premium Support is available for an additional fee. Please see the pricing page for an exact estimate.
