Technical Support Workflow and Response Time SLA

We provide support to everyone – free and commercial customers, as well as trial and beta customers – and we have an internal SLA. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you need any help.

Please note that this article covers technical support workflows and the SLA, and it does not extend to sales support. Our sales team normally replies within 24 business hours. Our sales team is regionally-distributed, and their business hours and national holidays vary depending on the region.

SLA

Support Level Agreement, JetBrains’ commitment to respond to issues in Space reported by Enterprise Customer as detailed below.

 

Response Times by Request Type

Our business hours are from 9 am to 5 pm CET. Our support team is located in Europe. The response time may be a little longer during national holidays. Tickets with the highest priority are processed regardless of business hours, days of the week, or holidays.

 

The target range for support request response times depending on the subscription plan:

Plan Space Cloud Space On-Premises
Free Within two business days. Within two business days.
Team By the end of the following business day. N/A
Organization On the same business day. On the same business day.
Enterprise Individual terms. Individual terms.

 

In addition to being sorted by plan type, requests are also assigned a priority level. An urgent request will be addressed as quickly as possible regardless of the subscription type of the account the request comes from. Other requests levels will be treated in the order of their priority within the timeframe associated with the plan type. For same-business-day requests, the First Reply Time and Next Reply Time depend on the request priority:

Support Channels

Zendesk is our main support channel. For immediate attention to your problem, please make sure you submit a request to our support system.

 

Other Channels

Twitter

Use the @jetbrains_space Twitter channel for quick questions. Please keep in mind that the response is limited to 280 symbols as well.

Issue Tracker

This channel is mostly used for filing bugs and feature requests. The development team handles the issue tracker, so it cannot be considered as the main support channel. If you’re not sure whether it’s a bug or support request, please file a request, and we’ll turn it into a bug if required.
