Infomaniak is inflating its support, but at what cost!

The Infomaniak host.

Infomaniak this week launched a new assistance offer for its customers. It is thus possible to choose extended assistance to have a single contact person and a 24/7 emergency service. The supplement ranges from 50 to 1000 francs per month, excluding annual discounts or promotions.

“If you have projects that are closely dependent on your online services (site, email, backup, cloud, etc.), we advise you to choose an appropriate level of support so that you can calmly deal with any interruptions and technical questions” , writes the Geneva host. I wonder which customers would not be affected?

A tailor-made support

Support Plus guarantees a response within 4 hours. Support Pro makes it possible to have a single contact person, a response time of less than 2 hours and a 24/7 emergency service in the event of an infrastructure problem that requires the intervention of Infomaniak. Enterprise Support also gives access to a dedicated technical manager and guarantees a response time of less than 1 hour.

In its communication, the host at the end of the lake indicates that with the Pro and Enterprise levels, it is possible to benefit from a team dedicated to monitoring its projects, which allows it to be consulted for technical questions concerning these projects. at the rate of 1h/month to 3h/month, depending on the service. All the details.

What will become of the basic support?

“Without action on your part, you will of course retain your free access to basic support”. Not quite, no. I assume that the basic support is included in the price. It is therefore not free. Let’s say that what has always been normal is now offered at no extra charge, otherwise it would be a price increase…

What to think? If the initiative is to be welcomed, let’s hope that the basic support does not suffer from this development. For example, I find that charging 60 francs per month to obtain a follow-up within four hours is rather expensive in 2023. Finally, let’s note that you have to commit to a minimum of six months and that the annual formula allows you to benefit from 10 % discounts. To conclude, let’s not forget Infomaniak’s efforts to green its services.
