This is indicative of companies that fail to watch what their competition is up to. I've seen companies like this 'blown by' when their competitors come up with a 'black box' application that just makes you sit there and wonder where they came up with it. Couple that with customer support that will 'lead you by the hand' over the phone and you have a killer. I've also experienced the exact opposite. That company is at risk of being barred from government contracting and we are actively looking for a replacement.

Will...
Until about 6 months ago, I share your opinion. But recently, I've gotten answers to problems that are reminiscent of the "dark times". I don't blame the individuals mind you (except for the last one "You know how Engineers are". That is just UNACCEPTABLE". But I get the distinct impression that no one is listening to the front line folks. And that is a dangerous omen.

My opionion
is a little bit different...
It has been my experience that the folks that support the AR
System are
pretty good at what they do. Sure, every now
and again there is some sort
of mixup, or something
takes a little too long and gets frustrating (which
is a
rare event), but when taken all and all they are pretty good. Very,
very rarely have I ever had a ticket open with Remedy
Support that has
taken more than a few days to
resolve.
From my perspective, my expectations of support have sort of
formed around
this sort of model as well. I have carried
those forward with me in other
work and areas which I
have performed and believe that I can say safely
that
they are a good exception, rather than the rule. There are other
applications and products which I have supported in which
tickets with the
vendors go for much longer periods of
time without a resolution. My wish
is that other
companies and support desks would stand tall and take note
of Remedy's example. It might make my life a bit easier.
