Support is horrible

This has to be the worst support I have ever gotten from any large(ish) tech company. It makes me miss the old Dell days when it took 45+mins to get someone on the phone, at least they could help you when you finally did...

 

I have been trying to get help with a feature in our UTM that is not functioning at all, SPX encryption, and all I have gotten for the past 3 WEEKS are "escalations" and waiting and then remote sessions to go over the same thing over and over and over again just for some Indian support company tech desk to tell me they don't know....  I am seriously considering looking for another soltion even though it would be a nightmare to reconfigure all that I have as well as the investment we have in Sophos.

  • Sorry to hear that.  There's a difference between break/fix support and consulting.  I wouldn't expect Sophos Support to be of much help for a configuration issue.  My clients use me for consulting, and they all think Support does a fine job.  If your organization won't let you use your Sophos Partner for occasional help, your best bet is to post specific questions here.  Good luck!

    Cheers - Bob

  • It's not a configuration issue but a software issue that they are having to build a RPM for and we are going to apply tonight.

  • Really - I apologize for doubting you!

    Please share a little about the specifics so that others searching here will understand that they need the RPM instead of continuing to fight a glitch.

    Cheers - Bob

  • Same experience!!! They say we will contact you by the email provided, nothing 2 months later

  • Been here with this one via email. I now phone up and the 2 times I have used them, they have been good and taken the time to explain things etc.

    So if you have the support, call them up.... and then chase them too.

  • STILL fighting with support.... The RPM didn't resolve the issue and so now it's been 2 days since I hear anything else, and now get an email of "a developer is available for the next 30mins for a live session" well of course I couldn't respond fast enough so I doubt I will hear back from this company for another couple days with more excuses and no resolve... This is becoming ridiculous to say the least.

  • STILL no resolution.... Support isn't even emailing me anymore unless I ask for an update and all they say is that their dev team will hav eto look at it but no one contacts me. This is utterly ridiculous now. This has to be the worst support I have ever dealt with from a networking company. Really makes me want to ditch this company and tell everyone I know in the public sector to ditch them also.

  • Did you try calling them with a case reference? I can imagine how frustrating this is as I once had an episode like this. Telephoning them got me a lot further although I had a stiff neck afterwards.
