How does Arketa customer support compare to Mariana Tek?
“With Arketa, support issues took a long time to solve or weren’t solved at all. They would respond, but most of the time it wasn’t helpful. Mariana Tek support always tries to figure out a way to help. With Mariana Tek, we've been able to focus more on our community and less on workarounds."
