Subject: Re: [gislist] ESRI support????
Date:  03/21/2005 01:30:02 PM
From:  Gary Andersen



In defense of ESRI support, I had a "How To" question that one of their
tech support people worked on for almost a month. We exchanged many
emails and sample files. In the process he came up with a solution for
my problem while discovering several bugs in the software which he
submitted to ESRI.

I can't say that this has been my experience with every issue I have
had. However, I was very pleased with their efforts on this issue.

Overall, they have been much better than AutoDesk that left me hanging
with two serious issues invloving the function of AutoCAD Map 2005 and
Raster Design 2005. I spent a year trying to get a solution to each
issue. I have not heard from them in over 3 months.

Here is my take on ESRI support & user forums:

ESRI support is wonderful, however, when you call them for support you
get only 1 answer or alternative (from the technician assigned to your
case). Their support is also geared towards product support (broken
software, etc), not GIS techniques (model development, etc). People go
to the user forums for help with GIS techniques and to try to find
multiple alternative solutions so that they can find what works best for
them in their specific situation or environment.

All these ESRI product questions really have me wondering about ESRI
support.

Is the quality of ESRI support in such a state that ESRI users come to
generic GIS list server to find answers?

Are people not finding the support they on the ESRI specific list
servers or
the ESRI website?

I believe that users that purchase ESRI products typically have some
kind of
phone or email support. Is ESRI support either too difficult to access
or
are the answers not sufficient?
