Customer Service: Technical Support:

CA technical support is usually pretty good. Just like any kind of support, it takes time for them to get back to you and to actually come up with a solution.

I don't do it myself directly as we have a team that supports it and they're the ones who'll engage CA.

We've opened up a few tickets with technical support and we've used our CA third-party consultants as well. They've been very helpful.

Personally, I don't think the technical support is very good. The technicians don't seem to have enough training and knowledge surrounding the solution — they don't have in-depth knowledge.

8/10.

Technical Support:

When you open a ticket with priority one, the technical support is excellent - 10/10. However, when the ticket is priority two, three, or four, then it's 7/10.

Did not user previous. But I helped move from a different solution to CA
Identity Manager. Why the change? Because the previous solutions was nor
flexible and was high cost value to adapt.

I would evaluate them at five out of five. Every tech support guy who works at CA is good. I don't have any issues.

They have been very good to us. We also partnered with Simeio which is a preferred partner for them. They have been working very, very closely with us. They have been very responsive in communication. They have developed patches for us whenever we needed them.

Technical support from CA comes in two forms for us. The first one was regard to their sort of, what we call, staff augmentation model. Well, they helped us to understand the paradigm for a using Identity Manager, while at the same time helping us to understand how to use the actual product. The support that comes afterwards, which is also excellent, comes in the fact that they have forums for us to interact with. They also have sort of escalation procedures that we have a chance to work with, and so that supports us from both ends of the project. The introduction as well as the ongoing maintenance.

Currently, the technical support for Symantec Identity Governance and Administration isn't as good as it used to be. Broadcom has introduced other support and my company also provides support to customers, but in terms of getting good support from Broadcom, my team hasn't been getting it.

The support team for Symantec Identity Governance and Administration is responsive, but there's a delay in the response.

On a scale of one to five, with five being the best and one being the worst, I'm rating support two out of five.

Operation Risk Senior Manager/CRO at I-SCORE

I did not have a chance to contact support personally, so I can not talk about how my experience with them was from a personal point of view. However, the people on the team right now working on projects who have called support said they were helpful. They have a good understanding of the product and seemed to have a lot of experience. I do not know what kind of resolution the members of our team were looking for from the support people. It might have just been for more information or troubleshooting or some type of issue resolution. But our company has had experience with the CA technical support team and from what I know the experiences were good.

The support could be greatly improved. As the solution is becoming increasingly antiquated, there does not seem to be a capability or a desire to provide support staff with the adequate knowledge. It is inefficient. This is why I rate it a C.

It's reasonable. The support is not the quickest to respond and does not have a mature process in terms of what logs must be gathered, and what to gather before raising a case.

Our team hasn’t used their support directly, but our IT support team raises tickets and has a good working relationship with CA support. Sometimes getting a resolution is an ongoing problem. They are always helpful and there’s a good level of interaction, but we’re not necessarily always getting a solution. Sometimes CA points to our environment which could be the case, as opposed to their product.
