Access Vendor Portal to update and manage your profile.
It is very convenient and has an easy to understand UI. Efficient filtering capabilities. Also, very customizable features and values. Easy to set the priority of requests, select and escalate the tickets to the required teams and assign the tickets to the stakeholders. Also, it's easy to set up ticket comments for internal vs. external (client facing)
1) Near seamless workflow from triage team to engineers. 2) Easy escalation to other teams/departments. 3) Customizable views to monitor teams.
The functionality is very impressive. The ability to automate escalation is good. The functionality for the agents is easy to train and use.
I can't recall many issues but the only one on top of my head was that occasionally when multiple tickets were open, the ticket # was not easily visible on the screen (though it is available at the end of the page url). It would be nice to have the id frozen on top of the screen when scrolling down.
Not much to dislike. The ability to access it via the web makes the service that much more palatable.
The cost of licenses and agents for our company for the various departments can get expensive. Working through escalation and light agents has proved to be effective but not as good as having full capability.
