They are very responsible and are always willing to help with any questions and concerns as well as with issues. They also provide their knowledge to resolve issues from existing customers that can also affect other clients. I would really recommend that your Professional Services Team get your environment set up and ready.

It's good when it's responsive, but I've had times where I had to wait quite a while for a response. But these are typically the exceptions rather than the rule. When you do get a response it is always well-informed and appropriate. I would say they've been trending better over time with this.
