BlackLine has a really great support portal / ticketing system. Urgent requests are prioritized and resolved in a timely manner. I've not had concerns with having tickets addressed timely aside from those requests that were actually development requests.

I have not had to use support directly outside of Blackline U and the community (which is very effective!). I have been told by our main administrator who directed the implementation that he is extremely pleased with the support provided - especially as compared to other companies we have support contracts with.

In the 10 years, that I have been a customer or Implementation Partner, I have never had or have I heard a customer have anything negative to say about Blackline support. Blackline has superior Blackline Implementation Partners, like Jerry Murphy, Patrick Fullam and Jamie Palaez. Always going above and beyond to assist in anyway possible. Superb customer service.

There is always someone available when we need help. On every occasion I have encountered an issue, I have been able to reach out to someone, even if it was only in the BlackLine community, to help resolve a problem. But, they have always been able to help me solve my problem and I gained a little more knowledge on the software.

BlackLine is quick to respond and get back to me on any questions. When necessary, they have scheduled phone calls and meetings with my IT team to resolve and debug issues. Their implementation partners have been extremely helpful in resolving roadblocks during implementations and always answer any questions or concerns that arise.
