I worked with a lady named Janine. She was very helpful to me and others I recommended to her. She was very patient in explaining things I didn't understand about my plan and repeated pricing where needed so I could get a better idea of what was going on. Other workers have been great too but I've mostly worked with Janine.

I am in IT, and on my end their support is pretty good. Tickets are answered within a few hours on average, sometimes quicker. Anytime we have major upgrades they are on standby to assist if need be. Their teams are also available with larger projects from planning to implementing.

Its very good. They have teams for each software product they offer. They have specific teams available for specific tasks such as data migrations, upgrades, etc. The employees they hire for their support teams are always knowledgeable about their products and are good to work with. They also speak clear english which is a plus when details matter and an incorrect or misunderstood word/phrase could cause issues.
