Get Fast, Real-Time Technical Support with SonicWall Webchat: Your Quick Guide

What is Webchat?

Webchat is a fast, efficient way for customers to get real-time technical support directly from our engineers. Designed for handling P3 cases, it allows customers to initiate a conversation, troubleshoot, and, when necessary, seamlessly transition to a phone call for more in-depth assistance. This new channel not only accelerates resolution but also enhances customer satisfaction by offering immediate responses.
