- 21Vendor tech support takes months to respond to ticketsVendor technical support teams often leave tickets sitting unanswered for weeks or months, even for straightforward questions that require simple answers. This leaves IT professionals stuck waiting helplessly and unable to resolve critical system issues like DLP policies in Purview.
- 10How to bypass customer service chat bots to talk to a humanMandatory AI bots block direct access to human support and never actually solve issues, forcing customers to waste time jumping through automated hoops just to open a case. This friction prevents people from getting timely help and leads to frustrating, broken interactions that ultimately require manual escalation anyway.
- 2Why is the description option missing when creating automated rules?Specific filtering criteria like description have disappeared from the rule creation interface, making it impossible to build new rules using that text. Even when a rule can be saved via bank text, testing it returns zero results, forcing users to deal with unwanted tickets and empty descriptions.
