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.

Our Support Queue is monitored by our teams 24/7. Please submit tickets for help. A phone call will be picked up by the team or allow you to leave a voicemail that will generate a ticket for us. If they can't answer they will call back or check for your ticket.

The best way to get help is to open a support case. If you feel you are not getting the help you need, please say so. You can comment on the case, open a new case, or request a phone call.

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.
