Definition of a Support Case
A Support Case is defined as assistance with one issue, problem, or question relating to the use or installation of a Venafi product, regardless of the number of communications required.
The best way to get a quick response from support is to open a NEW CASE. Our Support Queue is monitored by our global support team for NEW CASES 24/7. You may request a return call/Zoom in this manner.
For urgent issues you may choose to call by phone. The call will either be picked up live by the on-call person, OR (if they are on another call at that time) it will go to voicemail that will generate a new ticket which will be seen by the whole team.

Issue Swarming (Issue Escalation)
1. If you feel the urgency, attention, or skill is lacking for your issue's needs, simply state it in your case and ask for additional help.
2. In the circumstance a difficult issue arises and we are not sure how to fix it, we use a swarming tactic.
- Your support tech will engage with the rest of the Support team (Swarm)
- Next as needed the Support team will Engage with Engineering
- Next as needed the Support and Engineering teams will engage with QA and PM
3. If a third party vendor issue may be contributing to the Venafi issue, we are happy to engage in a call with them and the customer in order to shortcut to a resolution. Often times it may be required that the customer initiate the communication with the third party to help us all work together.
We are committed to getting issues resolved and have the Venafi organization behind us to swarm a complex issue where needed to get to a resolution.
