I am lucky as I normally get straight through to a technician who resolves my issue at that time. No complaints from my side. It would be unfair to name any individual that has assisted from Cus... See more

Major issues throughout engagement

Major issues throughout engagement

1. The original quote changed after the work started.
2. The work failed to meet the original delivery date
3. A few months after the work was completed, one of their customer service representatives logged into their remote IT support on one of our machines without any reason.
4. They agreed to provide IT support on a piecemeal basis (day rate). When we tried to use this service they claimed they didn't operate that way and instead attempted to push us onto a subscription service. We were they forced to prove this with the original correspondence.

Overall a poor experience thanks to these issues.

Edit - We arranged an hourly/day rate support agreement and as can be seen from their reply, they refuse to acknowledge this when we attempted to make use of it. I have it all in email correspondence to back this up.

Thank you Phil for taking the time to share your feedback.

It is unfortunate that you feel this way as Custard guarantee that your experience would have been much different had you taken the support from us in November 2018, when you purchased hardware only from us.

We appreciate that you decided to decline the support offering in 2018, and chose instead to administer the hardware yourself. To ensure that our customers get the best experience and support services, we do not offer an ad-hoc fix service so would have drawn you back to the support offering. We only work with a customer base who have support contracts now and have done for a few years, as we find this helps build relationships and ensures your IT is in the best working order, with best practice advice, support and guidance provided.

If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to call our Client Care team on 0115 971 7434 (Ext. 1) and we'll pass any additional comments onto our management team directly.

I tried to contact Custard by telephone…

I tried to contact Custard by telephone but after a couple of minutes the line went "dead" so I went on the website and made contact. I was moved to three different support people but the third support person was helpful, he did not know the reason for my problem but promised to find out and phone me back which he did with an answer.
