Dave Tickem
I am absolutely blown away (after 28 years in IT) at the responsiveness of the Netgate support folks. Even with Professional support the response was so quick I was shocked. Thank you!
Bob Clabaugh
Systems Manager, Tillamook County
Support is very responsive and focused on solving the problem or answering the question. A lot of times, support at other companies appears to be more anxious to close the ticket than solve the problem.
Bob Dixon
Vice President, L + L Printers
Netgate technical support is very responsive and well-educated. The support staff doesn't guess at solutions or give suggestions to try. They know their product well and have always had solid answers with explanations for my problems.
