Resolution from customer service and their response rate in resolving issues needs to be improved. When a ticket is raised, customer service actually contacts you for resolution. The issue is that they hardly resolve anything for you. They rather refer you to their FAQ or other links with tutorials. This could be frustrating as you may expect technical assistance, however, what you get is a link to a tutorial that usually may not solve the issue that has been raised. Their technical support team should engage more with customers when tickets are raised.
