Whether you’re new or you’re increasing the usage of products, Azion wants to provide the right resources to support your success. Azion offers a unique combination of tools and expertise to help you achieve amazing things.

Azion’s technical support levels cover development and production issues for all products and services, along with other key components:

  • “How-to” questions about Azion services and features.
  • Troubleshooting for the use of Azion products, together with customer resources.
  • Troubleshooting for the Azion platform.

Azion Technical Support excludes the following:

  • Accessing and modifying the customer’s infrastructure external to the Azion’s network.
  • Developing, modifying, and debugging the client’s applications.
  • Approving and modifying the customer’s infrastructure, even if it’s requested or recommended by Azion to facilitate integration or resolve any issues.
  • Investigating solutions to issues within the customer’s infrastructure or its suppliers that directly affect the usage of Azion’s services.

The Developer service plan offers unlimited access to documentation, guides, whitepapers, bug reports, and the Azion Community on Discord. Customers with the Business service plan have access to technical support 24×7 via ticket and email. The Enterprise and Mission Critical service plans have support access 24×7 via ticket, email, and phone, and 8×5 access to R&D Engineers through ticket and phone.

The opening of an online ticket by one of the contacts previously authorized and configured in the tool by the customer is essential to guarantee the authentication and authorization of the contact.

The response time depends on the type of Service Plan contracted and the severity of the support request. The time elapsed between the opening of the ticket and the start of actions taken by Azion is counted.

There are three options available to categorize tickets into types:

  • Incident: to report an incident, such as system failures or errors that require immediate attention.
  • Request: to make a specific request, such as integrations, solutions, or new features.
  • Question: to clarify questions or concerns regarding Azion’s platform.

The goal is to provide an appropriate response time to each case based on the impact on your business. Opening tickets with the correct severity level will help the team get you in touch with the appropriate support professionals and within the estimated response times.
