Information on affected end-user companies (as authorized reseller and estos partner)
If a request/concern is created on behalf of an end user company, or if an end user company is affected by a malfunction/problem, it is possible to specify this in the "Affected End User's Company" input field.
If the input field "Affected End User's Company" is not filled in, we assume that the creator of the ticket is an employee of the affected end user company. In case of an authorized reseller or estos partner, no customer would be affected.

Access to your requests can be found at the top:

What status do requests have in estos product support?
Requests in estos Product Support go through several stages until they are resolved or closed.
- NEW:
A newly created request that has not been processed by estos. - FEEDBACK REQUEST
We have further questions, have a proposed solution waiting for your confirmation/feedback. If you do not reply/respond within 2 weeks, the status will automatically change to FEEDBACK PENDING. - PEER REVIEW
Your request requires further processing. A response/feedback cannot be expected for the time being. This may be the case, for example, if further analyses have to be carried out on our part, or if changes to the product are required. - FEEDBACK PENDING
We have been waiting for a response for at least two (2) weeks. If there is no response within the next two (2) weeks, the status will automatically change to DONE, as we assume that the issue has been resolved. - IMPLEMENTING
The status signals the processing/conversion (FEEDBACK REQUEST) by the creator, and can be set manually. The status IMPLEMENTING changes automatically to the status FEEDBACK PENDING only after four (4) weeks without further reaction/information. - OPEN
If the issue continues to require our attention and new information/details is available. - DONE
The issue is considered to be resolved/answered. - CLOSED
There will be no further processing of this ticket.
Processing times for queries
With an SLA service level agreement
Only within the framework of our SLA agreement (https://legal.estos.de/content/latest/support-und-softwarepflege/leistungsbeschreibungen-support-und-softwarepflege/leistungsbeschreibung-service-level-agreement) are response times for requested regulated. If you have an SLA and would like to use it for any issues with our software products, you can indicate this when reporting a product failure. We will take this into account accordingly during processing.
This does not apply in the event of any misconfiguration.
Without agreement
If there is no corresponding agreement, we process:
- Priority on the elimination of faults (cloud services),
- Correction of problems that may affect a large number of customers,
- Reports from known end-user companies, i.e.
- The input field "Affected End User's Company" has been filled in by the authorized reseller or estos partner and a registration of the end user company is available.
- The end user company has registered with u.s
Requests regarding new features, configuration or setup will be handled after that. In the meantime, you can refer to our product online help (https://help.estos.de) or articles in this support portal.
