Former Sophos Fan now Severely Disappointed

This wont be a long rant, but seeing as all Sophos lines/phone/offices are closed today in Australia I have noone to talk to and assist me, I will post it here.

My company has sold and supported Sophos to our customers for at least 5 years now, and I have been thoroughly impressed with everything they do.  I dont even mind that they have bungled this update SHH/Updater thing, their track record is impressive and everyone is entitled to a mistake now and then.

My gripe is that I am working on my weekend trying to restore and resole this issue for 40+ customers with between 10 and 80 machines each.

I tried calling support on Thursday and Friday, and sat on hold for approx 45 minutes and 2 hours respectively.  Thats ok, I undersstand that everyone is calling in for support and there will be delays.  However I call on Sunday, and the entire Australian HelpDesk solution (which is 24/7) is redirected to a single Vodafone Mobile.

This mobile is not engaged, and rings out to voicemail, I have called approximately 20 times between 9am and 1:30pm today and only had it answer twice.  If it were engaged, and he were busy I would understand and wait patiently. Howver not one of my messages have been returned.

My gripe is this, "http://www.sophos.com/en-us/press-office/message-from-the-sophos-ceo.aspx"

"We have Sophos team members cancelling or rescheduling vacations, leaves of absence, and other business activities to ensure we have mobilized every available resource to the task at hand:"

Like I said, I dont mind that this issue occured, just dont tell me you are doing everything you can to resolve the problem quickly, and then put one person on a mobile phone to support every single Australian customer.

  • We are aware of issues with our phone lines over the course of this weekend due to the call volume, we are sorry for the difficulties that left customers unable to contact us this weekend, but my colleagues in the US and European offices have been in over the weekend handing over to each other so that the engineers are able to get some sleep and stay focused on resolving all of the issues.

    Tech Support in all offices has had additional staff on hand to deal with the increased load, if you are still experiencing odd issues when phoning us please leave a message on the forums at the least and we can investigate and resolve any additional phone issues.

    Regards
