Support Efficiently

As a leader of technical support and customer success teams, you’re focused on resolving issues with your app, and wherever possible, making sure they have minimal impact. You want your teams to scale their efforts and solve problems faster, if not avoid them entirely. You need tooling that helps your team capture, analyze, and codify solutions to common issues.

Support became a massive burden on SmartBear's DevOps team, with about 20% of their team's time dedicated to supporting each deployment. With over 50% of their total annual revenue coming from on-prem customers, they couldn't just abandon a self-hosted option. Their app now enjoys zero downtime, more frequent releases, and they report "a radical reduction" in support calls and escalations.

an old application version


Problem

Older versions of software are exposed to bugs and vulnerabilities that may have been fixed in newer versions.

an updated application version


Solution

We enable customers to get automatic version updates and patches for CVEs, helping them stay current. So you have fewer customer support issues, increased adoption rates, and reduced likelihood to churn.

It’s difficult and expensive to hire and/or retain support staff with deep Kubernetes expertise

Problem

Knowledge of how to resolve issues isn’t often shared, and increases dependency on a few experts.

Solution

We automate many K8s tasks and simplify many others, making something very hard much more doable. So you can focus on your application itself, not K8s issues in the end customer's environment.
