Hi,
It's very brave of you to open this up - I hope you don't get too much of a rough ride from the customers.
Anyway, my personal beef so far is with the timing of the support. It appears that the support staff only seem to visit the support forums about once a day which makes it very difficult to resolve problems, espescially if several messages go back and forth taking up several days causing major headaches for customer's development schedules.
I have posted some issues recently where I have had to wait upto 20 hours for a response that has then required me to provide more info (which I did almost immediatly) and then wait another day for a response back, etc, etc.
Obviously this isn't helped by the fact that one Telerik support person responds one day and then another responds the next day so there is very little continuity.
It would be ideal if the support staff could actually subscribe to the threads they respond to and then they can deal with the on going support issue as the messages are posted, this would lead to a much quicker resolution time and better continuity.
One final thing is that it would really help if the support staff were checking for new messages at least three times a day and that they bear in mind that you have customers all over the world in different time zones.
I'm finding that I am posting messages late in the afternoon UK time and they aren't being responded to until mid afternoon the next day.
Having said all that, when the support does come through it is very good.
Is anyone else experiencing the same?
Cheers,
Julian
