The online support tool is great and we always get good comprehensive answers to our questions. There is always a time lag as the support staff operate in a different country in a different time zone which can make it tricky, however, we always have a response in 24 hours.
The account manager has been helpful in answering questions regarding our account also and does respond when we ask a question. However, my account manager is literally on the other side of the world and is a time zone where it is not possible for us to speak by phone (12 hours apart - New Zealand and the UK) so I have to wait for a next day email response. This came to make it quite tricky if the response triggers more questions as it drags the communication out and makes it quite untimely in some cases if I need a quick response.

My assistant could better address this issue. My perception is that there is not immediate assistance, and that there can be a wait for help. That is not a negative, just a perception. I have not used support in two years.

Ever rep I have ever worked with has been knowledgeable and helpful. When we first launched the training to the entire company, there were many questions and tech support issues. I was able to put people in touch with tech support directly that helped people troubleshoot their specific issues and help with the logins. Everyone was kind, patient, and helpful. While people reported frustration with learning how to make sure their pop up blockers were off, etc. there were no complaints about the support staff.

Anytime I have a question or run into a roadblock with PiiQ, their customer service team answers my questions within 24-hours, but usually quicker that that. They have an excellent team - and one that is able explain how to remedy my problems.
