Questions we get asked
- What does a response time actually measure?
- How quickly you hear back from a person who is picking the problem up, not how long the repair takes. A failed hard drive answered inside thirty minutes still needs a replacement drive to arrive. What the commitment removes is the part that makes people angriest, which is silence.
- Which plan do most businesses choose?
- Secure. It's the level where a security operations team starts watching around the clock, with real people investigating every alert. For most offices between ten and fifty people, that is what tips it.
- What's the real difference between Essential and Secure?
- Essential covers everyone properly, protects every machine and answers quickly during business hours. Secure adds a 24/7 security team actively hunting for threats, people investigating every alert, and advanced network work. The response-time commitment is the same on both.
- Is cloud backup part of the plan?
- On Full Suite, yes, on every machine we cover. On Essential and Secure it's bought per machine rather than something everyone pays for by default. Backup is one thing either way: a machine with it gets the backup, the monitoring, a restore tested every month, and files recovered whenever you ask. Machines without it are listed on your service schedule as not covered, so there is never any doubt about which is which.
- Is there a fee to get started?
- No onboarding fee and no setup fee to become a client. The only per-machine charge is deploying a new computer you've bought, and it never applies to the machines you already own.
- What happens outside the coverage hours on our plan?
- Every plan is covered Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and the response times apply inside those hours. Something that breaks in the evening or at a weekend still gets worked on as quickly as we can manage, without a committed response time, and it's billed as unscheduled after-hours labour at the rate in your agreement.
