One of the WORST customer support…

One of the WORST customer support experiences I've ever had to deal with. With a client project and deadline hanging over my head (like everyone in the creative industry), I contacted their support team for an issue activating my license, they would only email me back 4 to 7 days later on each correspondence. It took over a month to resolve the issue, and by the end it was NEVER even resolved. I have a paid subscription, but I can't even use the product. If you have a problem with their software good luck getting ANY kind of prompt service. End of the day, I lost the job and my client was very disappointed. Will NEVER recommend for anyone to use.

Everything was done and delivered…

Everything was done and delivered exactly as was described in the time that was stated (or sooner).

I found the licensing process a bit tedious and confusing having to register with a temporary serial before receiving the final one but apart from that, your communications and support were top notch.

Bit of a crazy Purchase

Bit of a crazy Purchase, approval, Temporary, then Final serial number system as it's all done manually. But I do understand why. Best 3D app out there for most uses.

Maxon UK are very helpful

Maxon UK are very helpful and have always worked hard to try to resolve any C4D Studio issues we’ve had here at 3dtp. I believe all problems we’ve encountered have been resolved by James and his team, allowing us to deliver our projects on time.

A very good service.

James Belsham at Maxon was very helpful and the updating of my Cinema 4d from 17 to 20 was straight forward.

Incredible software!

Well firstly the software is incredible! For me it is the gateway to limitless expression in 3D. I have been dealing with Maxon UK for many years now and their staff are always very friendly and helpful
One of the things I like about cinema4d over other 3d applications is its all encompassing power to help with all elements of a project whether it be modelling, texturing or animation
If you are interested to 3D I couldn’t recommend a more complete solution!

Couldn't recommend Maxon more highly.

Apart from the fact, the Maxon package is one of the best on the market their support and care for their customers go above and beyond my expectations. Friendly very helpful service from my main contact James is always a pleasure to deal with.

Not as straightforward as usual

Not as straightforward as usual
Renewing R20 subscription. Although it usually is a seamless experience renewing my 3 monthly subscription to Maxons Cinema4d this time there were issues which could only be sorted out by the Maxon User support team which meant I was a day without the program when I really needed it as well as email ping pong with the local team who had no idea what was wrong and just kept telling me to do the same thing over and over again as if it was my fault.
I can't fault the program (excellent, but this time around I was frustrated and disappointed with the process of renewal.

Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the problem. Having investigated the matter, the issue was very unusual. Usually, with updating serial numbers, it's simply a case of pasting in a new serial number. If that doesn't work, there can be several reasons why, which our customer service team went through with you. Repeatedly pasting the serials is one solution that works on certain computers, so although it sounds pointless, it often solves things. After that didn't work, they escalated to support, who knew of a possible bug that customer service wasn't aware of. Customer service are aware now, so although this issue was very unusual, we should be able to help anyone with the same issue faster.

It looks automated but isn't

It looks automated but isn't

I made a purchase last week, online, paid by credit card, but the serial key and the invoice had to be transacted in the day after, not immediately as is the usual experience with an online purchase.
This needs to be made clear, as I had to contact the company to find where they were.

Thanks for your review. Sorry to read this affected you. We are indeed processing orders manually. However, we do state this on every online shop product page and this is also explained in the order confirmation email. If you have a look below the add to cart button it states: Note: Orders are manually processed during working hours only (Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm). This normally takes a few hours but can sometimes take longer during busy periods. Please also note serial numbers are processed by our HQ in Germany who work one hour ahead of us. This means we cannot get serials after 4pm GMT. We can only process orders from customers residing in the UK or Ireland.

Maxon C4D

Great product, but the set up and instructions to set C4D up was slightly confusing. Maxon was quick, responsive and helpful if you need any additional info or help.

The buying 'experience' is quite easy…

The buying 'experience' is quite easy (as it should be) for the important stuff like the core product and Service agreements.
However the peripheral merchandise is awful. They have been selling that stupid lion mouse-mat for years. I'd be quite happy to buy a Maxon Tshirt, but they never sell them. For a company with such a large fan-base they are missing out on extra revenue which would certainly go some way to covering costs of the annual conferences.
Just sayin.

Thanks for the review. We're sorry to read you're not happy with our merchandise. We have looked at this in the past, but customers have only previously been interested in free merchandise, rather than paid for. I'll ask HQ if we can sort some small batch of merchandise to resolve this issue for you though.
