Customer Support Channels

You can’t have award-winning products without an award-winning support system. We offer a comprehensive blend of support resources, ranging from an expansive Knowledge Base to responsive phone support delivered by our product engineers. Whatever your needs, we’re here to help your IT team shine.

Our support channels include:

• Progress Community: A meeting ground for our customers, partners and employees where everyone can discuss challenges, share stories and trade tips. If you’ve got a question, there’s a good chance someone’s already answered it in the Progress Community.
• Online Knowledge Base: Before opening a support case or calling technical support, consult the online Knowledge Base. A repository of all product information designed to help you find the right answer, fast. Get quick answers and fast results at the Knowledge Base.
• Technical Support: If all else fails, who better to ask than the people who built the product? Submit a ticket online via SupportLink or call our technical support hotline during business hours and our product engineers will help you find the ideal solution to your specific situation.

Your success is our success, which is why we take our technical support very seriously. Our support team is assessed by Net Promoter Score (NPS) instead of the number of cases they close. With anything above 50 considered “excellent,” our support team has an NPS of 60.

Support Eligibility

Technical support is available for iMacros Enterprise and Professional Edition (I.E. only) with an active service agreement or subscription. With Personal Edition, only Forum Support is available. Personal Edition does not include Technical support and Product Updates. Please review the Product Lifecycle for supported versions of our products. Check out the Product Comparison Chart to see what Support options are available for different Editions of the product.

Technical support via the phone is available for customers on iMacros Enterprise and Professional (I.E. only) plans with an active service agreement, subscription or are under warranty (which covers the first 30 days after purchase). Additionally, after-hours emergency technical support is available only to customers with an extended support contract.

Managing your Customer Support Case

How fast can I get an answer?

In order to ensure timely responses and resolutions to your cases, we measure our performance against Service Level Objectives (SLOs). Our SLO is to meet our established timelines for 80% or more of your cases. You can view our SLOs here.

Can I get a status update on my Support Case?

Progress Support offers two ways to verify the status of your Customer Support case:

• Online via the Progress Community
• Via Phone

Can I escalate my Support Case?

You may escalate your support case within the case directly, by calling the Support phone and asking to speak to your assigned Support Engineer, or you may reach one of our Support Managers through the contact info available on this page.

When will Support close your Support Case?

Engineers will only close cases when the issue is resolved, and with your agreement, unless:

• Support has tried repeatedly to contact you, and you have not responded
• A timescale has been agreed in advance for when the case can be closed if we have not heard from you.

How can I reopen a Support Case?

If, after closing a case, that specific issue reoccurs, you can re-open that case within 30 days from within SupportLink. The issue must be exactly the same and from the same system, otherwise, a new case will need to be opened. You may also call Support on the phone and ask for a case to be re-opened that way.
