Backend Configuration and Technical Support Dependency

medium implementation

Out-of-the-box configurations frequently require backend intervention from Whatfix support team to resolve errors, as there is no standard self-service solution for many common problems. This creates time delays and potential dependency on vendor support for ongoing maintenance and troubleshooting.

Out of the box configurations - For every error encountered, I have the feeling there is no standard solution to the same problem and something has to be done from the back end. This costs so much time is is very frustrating

Professional Services for Initial Setup

Organizations with complex security requirements or multiple system integrations often require Whatfix team access for initial setup and content creation, rather than being able to self-implement. This is particularly common for regulated industries like banking.

Being a bank with stringent security requirements, we struggle with being able to grant system access to the Whatfix team to help us set up new systems and create content.
