Part B: How Pulsar Support Works

If I hire Dattell will I get a dedicated solution architect or someone different depending on the day or month?
We assign a consistent Dattell engineer to become an extended member of your team and provide personalized Pulsar assistance from start to finish. You will meet your engineer before the engagement starts to ensure a good fit.  

How will we communicate and work with Dattell?
Your Dattell engineer will work with you through your team’s preferred messaging system, such as Slack or Microsoft Teams, video calls, email, text, and/or phone calls.  Your assigned engineer can VPN into your system, you can provide a company laptop, or we can strategize another way to work together if neither of those work for your use case.

What are your response times?
We strive to respond to all client inquiries in under 10 minutes. We guarantee incident response times within 15-minutes for Priority 1 issues for our fully managed Pulsar clients. All issues, no matter how small, are guaranteed a response within 3-business hours for all of our clients.

Are there caps on monthly Pulsar incidents?
No, we do not have a cap on incidents for Pulsar support or any of our other services.
