  • I`ve got an open support ticket since over 4 weeks...status:waiting for vendor support...

    I can`t call that support...

     

    Of course I do send weekly reminders...really bad at the moment.

     

    regards

  • Sophos Support lives in the Toilet. If they don't drown, they might be able to help you. But you will be waiting for some time. Get used to it.

    I have been trying to get my Sophos Cloud Account EXPUNGED Completely as I dropped these fools a few months ago.....and NO ONE at Sophos knows how or what to do?

    I still have over a years worth of Licensing, but breaking away from Sophos has been the best decision ever.

    Sophos unfortunately is in a very bad state. Lacklustre product and Support that is non existent all from India where if you manage to decipher their English, maybe they can help.

    The next company that offers me support where English is not their FIRST language, being as we are in North America will be dropped like a Hot Potato. Never mind the time differences.

    How the heck is anyone supposed to deal with this...stay up till 3AM? Ha

  • Hi Howie and welcome to the UTM Community!

    Sorry to hear about your frustrations!

    I note that your earlier participation was related to Sophos Central and Endpoint.  That's only a few years old, and I don't find that the documentation is yet up to snuff.  The UTM is almost 20 years old, so there's great documentation and UTM Support is much better.  I wouldn't recommend starting with Central without having an experienced consultant to make sure you're on the right track.  Once it's configured, it's easy to maintain and administer. 

    Cheers - Bob

  • I fully agree with bob.

    Use the power of the community and ask your question / post your questions here. (Feel free to consult Support at the same time).

    Like always phone support is quite hard to cover by one person for such a "huge" portfolio like sophos has. 

    Within Central, there are ~10 different products. 

    2(3) different UTM/NGFW Products. 

    X different classic products + on premise Products. I would highly recommend the way, how bob work. Open up a Case via Mail with all Information. Maybe use the GES MER in my Signature and post all needed information within a Case. So a support employee with appropriate experience can pick up this case. 

    Also feel free to consult the community (Use Search or post your own issue). Couple of helpful users are always trying to help each other to get a quick response.

  • I have another trick, Always open your tickets via MyUTM or Website Support Sophos if it is a central Product. If you are asked for the priority of this ticket, Always set it to the highest possible. I never had any Problem with that. Normaly Sophos contacts me in 2-6 Hours. If you set priority to low which some People do as far as i know, you might have to wait days or weeks.
