Userful Supports You
Userful offers a variety of training packages, onsite installation services, and Premium Support Services. Read on to find out more!
All customers receive Standard Support Services with an active subscription. All plans, including Standard Support, provide access to customer service, technical documentation, whitepapers, and support forums. Userful operates a tiered-based support structure, and all tickets are triaged according to their severity and/or complexity. As such, not all cases are created equal, and those that require further investigation from our Engineering team, or a new software release, will extend beyond the regular service level agreement. Total system outages that are beyond Userful’s control are not considered technical support-related in nature and are not included in the below SLAs.
For access to technical support and additional support resources, we offer plans to fit your unique needs.
Standard Package (Included) Standard Support is provided Free of Charge with an active subscription. This Support offering is recommended for smaller organizations with deployments requiring less management and maintenance.
Features As a Standard Support customer, you can add up to 1 User to your Standard Support offering to interface with our Support team. For details about managing roles and permissions, visit our Access control settings menu.
