    Impact core packages and entitlements

    The Guided package provides the Impact App, 24/7 support, limited Accelerator concurrency, and Customer Success Manager guidance. The Total package includes everything in Guided plus faster response times for Priority 1 and 2 issues, Developer Support with 10 seats, expanded Accelerator catalog access, and a dedicated Impact Squad. Support is available 24/7 for critical issues across all packages.

    Impact Squad

    Impact Squad members vary by package. Total customers receive a team including a Customer Success Manager, Customer Success Executive, Platform Architect, and Support Account Manager. Guided customers receive a Customer Success Manager. This team helps manage and optimize your Impact platform.

    Platform Health and Instance Observer capabilities

    Platform Health features differ by package. Guided includes up to 10 active custom definitions for Scan Engine and 5 Instance Observer seats with 45 days data look back, while Total offers unlimited custom definitions, 10 seats, and 6 months data look back. Instance Observer alerts and analytics are also more extensive in Total.

    Accelerator catalog and concurrency

    Accelerators provide scoped expert engagements in Technical, Strategy, Architecture, and Optimization areas. Guided customers have access to Technical and partial Strategy and Architecture catalogs with concurrency limits of 1 per sub-catalog. Total customers have full access and higher concurrency (2 per sub-catalog in Technical, Strategy, Architecture; 1 for Optimization).

    Support and response times

    All Impact packages include 24/7 support for Priority 1 and 2 issues. Total package offers faster initial response targets (15 minutes for P1, 60 minutes for P2) compared to Guided (30 minutes for P1, 120 minutes for P2). Developer Support is included only in the Total package.

    Add-on packages

    Both Guided and Total packages can be extended with add-ons for Strategic Value, Platform Governance, Managed Support, Preventive Care, Platform Optimization, and additional Instance Observer seats. These add-ons increase Accelerator sub-catalog access and concurrency, improve support response times, provide bi-annual performance assessments, and enhance Platform Health features.
