I have never encountered a company with such an inadequate level of support. I am convinced that Colt Service is among the lowest-ranked companies in terms of customer support quality.

Colt Global WAN Services Likes & Dislikes

Like

- The portals for managing billing and services - The line usage monitoring portal provides extensive information and allows analysis of traffic types, source and destination equipment, etc. - The close and personalized attention from the sales team. - The centralized management of the global services, without ever having to rely on COLTs local teams in each country

Like

Price is the only aspect I can positively evaluate.

Like

Stability of services and uptime

Dislike

- Despite all the information provided by the monitoring portal, it is not leveraged to proactively detect and report anomalous behaviors - The PNS (Premium Network Service) support service, at least in our case, was not included as part of the package and we had to add it afterward. For an enterprise account with multiple global sites including production plants, this level of service should be the standard

Dislike

The support experience has been unbelievably poor and completely unacceptable.

Dislike

The lack of tooling availability in their online portal
