What's the difference between Managed Hosting and On-Premise Deployment?

With Managed Hosting for RT, we host and setup your RT instance for you. This is generally the best option for teams who want to get started quickly and easily, and for teams who don't want to manage the technical complexity of hosting themselves.

With an On-Premise Deployment of RT, you host RT on your own servers and you're able to customize your setup however you'd like. This is generally the best option for teams who want to manage all the details of the setup and don't mind the additional complexity of hosting themselves.

What is a Designated Representative?

While a support request can originate from any person in your organization using your RT instance, we ask that only the person you've designated submit support requests . We would love to be able to talk to any and all users of RT and RTIR, but when troubleshooting urgent matters or discussing more casual aspects of configuration, we like our engineers to know that the person with whom they're speaking has at least some context on how support works and what to expect. If your support representative goes on vacation, you are welcome to select a stand-in while they are out. Likewise, if the support representative moves on, you can certainly select a new one.

What is a Support Request?

Support requests occur when there is an error in RT or RTIR such that business functions cannot continue, and are therefore, more urgent than Product Support requests. Examples include data corruption, a feature not functioning correctly, the system hanging indefinitely, and system crashes.

What is a Product Q&A Support Request?

Product Q&A Support Requests are far less, or not at all, urgent when compared to Support requests. Product Q&A Support Requests are meant to give you guidance, advice, and best practices on how to get the most out of your RT or RTIR instance from our team who develops and configures RT and RTIR every day. We encourage our customers to fully utilize product support, as this tends to prevent incidents from happening.

What do you mean by Response Time?

Also called Service Level Agreements, these are the amounts of time in which Best Practical will reply to your incident support requests. While we do not have a fixed SLA for product support requests, we always strive to answer these requests as quickly as possible.
