Question

what is going on with technical support?

I have been on the phone for over 2 hours trying to get ahold of technical support.  Then I get disconnected and need to dial back in.

What is going on with technical support?  The handful of times when I needed to open a trouble ticket with ADOBE, it was a reasonable amount of time.

I hope this is not an indication of the current direction of the company.  I have used Coldfusion for over 8 years and have never had such a horrible experience.

    The support from Adobe is only getting worse. Many editors that switched from Final Cut to Premiere are regretting it now because of the in your face policy of no tech support tech support. I have tried to speak with someone in corporate and they are too chicken or are just not interested in speaking with their customers.

    I have never got an answer without the droid on the other line putting me on hold for minutes after minute. After the person comes back on the phone, they still don't have a clue and it is back on hold again.

    Bye bye Adobe, your company officers are idiots.

    This thread was about ColdFusion technical support---which isn't my area---but the above comment is about Premiere Pro technical support, which is my area.

    If you bring questions and issues to the Premiere Pro forum, we can help.

    My entire job is to help people with Premiere Pro and After Effects on the forums. I hope that you'll see from that fact some reason to believe that you shouldn't give up on Adobe software or Adobe Technical Support.

    Big Kudos to Todd for stepping up and not simply ignoring a passive-aggressive cry for help.

    Yes, on day three of trying to get through to technical support, I called sales and bitched.  They had me in touch with a qualified technical person within minutes.

    The tech support number on the website was totally worthless.

    Nice job to Sales!

    This information is a couple of years old, so I can not vouch for how current it is.  But it may be worth a try.

    This is my second day in a queue with Adobe.  I have waited all morning listening to really crappy in queue music.  It is now noon.

    I have a service contract with you and this is what I get?  This wait has been worse then any queue I have needed to sit in with Microsoft.

    Can anyone from adobe step up and tell us what is happening?

    Try calling the sales line; I did this today and was amazed how quickly I got to speak to someone in America who speaks English. Although my questions were not technical they did help me. I've tried this method before with other companies and they were able to route me to the correct people to help me with my problem without any waiting.  Just an idea. Good Luck!

    I give up and will try again tommorrow.  I am really disappointed in ADOBE right now.  I have only gotten as far as the level one person.  Hours of wasted time.

    I wish I could help you but I am having the same problem. I was on hold twice for 30 minutes and got disconnected. The next time I called I got a message that said "We will be updated our customer support system May 3 and will be temporarily offline during the process" Then again, I was disconnected. May 3rd? Adobe charges top dollar for their software and you can't even call them for support. Anyone know what's up?
