Frequently Asked Questions - Remote IT Helpdesk and IT Support Services
General
A remote IT helpdesk is a team of engineers that resolves your business technology issues without being physically on-site. Support is delivered via secure remote access tools, monitoring systems, and a ticketing platform your team contacts by email, phone, or chat. Issues are diagnosed and resolved remotely in real time. A remote IT helpdesk covers everything from password resets and email access to server faults, cloud platform incidents, and security alerts.
A remote IT helpdesk typically refers to reactive support – an engineer your team contacts when something breaks. Remote IT support services is a broader term covering proactive delivery: continuous infrastructure monitoring, patch management, endpoint management, security management, and helpdesk, all under an ongoing agreement. HEX64 delivers both under one fixed monthly price.
Your team raises a ticket by email, phone, or portal. An engineer reviews it, assigns a priority level, and connects to the affected system via encrypted remote access. The issue is diagnosed and resolved – most L1 tickets in the same session. A plain-English closure note is written and every action logged. Recurring issues trigger a root-cause investigation.
For the majority of IT issues, yes – and often faster. Most helpdesk problems, server alerts, cloud incidents, and network faults are resolved entirely remotely. Cases that genuinely require on-site presence – hardware replacement, physical cabling – are a small fraction of total IT support volume. HEX64 coordinates on-site visits through our partner network when required.
Yes. A business with 10 to 50 employees can have 24/7 professional IT helpdesk coverage from HEX64 for less than the cost of a single part-time IT hire. That coverage includes L1 through L3 support, proactive monitoring, endpoint management, and monthly reporting across USA, UK, Canada, and Australia.
SLA and Response Times
Critical incidents are acknowledged within 05 minutes. High-priority tickets within 30 minutes. Normal priority within 2 hours. Low priority within 4 hours. These are contractual SLA commitments tracked on every ticket and included in your monthly performance report. Missed SLAs appear in the report automatically – we do not wait for you to raise them.
Yes. Our response time commitments apply at every hour of every day, including weekends and public holidays. The 5-minute critical response at 3am Sunday carries the same obligation as 10am Tuesday. There are no reduced coverage windows, no after-hours degradation, and no exceptions for bank holidays.
A critical incident is any problem preventing a significant number of your team from working – a server completely down, a network outage affecting multiple users, a security breach, or a business-critical application failure. These receive a 15-minute first response and immediate escalation regardless of the time.
Yes. Every month you receive a performance report covering ticket volumes by category, response times by priority, resolution rates, SLA compliance percentages, escalation trends, and root-cause analysis on recurring issues.
It is documented in the monthly performance report automatically before you ask. Patterns of missed SLAs trigger an internal escalation review and a corrective action plan shared with you in the monthly service call.
Pricing & Cost
HEX64 remote IT helpdesk services start at $4.99 per device per month for infrastructure monitoring. Endpoint Care – helpdesk, patch management, and antivirus – is $24.99 per endpoint per month. Server Care is $49.99 per server per month with 24/7 monitoring, backup management, and performance reporting included.
For most businesses under 200 employees, yes. A single in-house IT engineer costs $50,000 to $80,000 per year plus benefits, training, and tools. That one person does not provide 24/7 coverage, L3 depth, or specialist security expertise. HEX64 remote IT helpdesk covers all of that at a fraction of the cost, with no single point of failure.
Yes. Many clients start with monitoring only, or helpdesk for a specific team, and expand as confidence grows. No penalties for scaling up. Scope changes are managed as part of your monthly review.
Yes. All remote IT helpdesk plans use fixed monthly pricing with no variable charges based on ticket volume or incident frequency. You know the cost before the month starts.
Service Depth
L1 covers end-user helpdesk: password resets, VPN access, email issues, basic OS troubleshooting, printer faults, and application errors. L2 covers advanced technical support: server and network issues, Azure and AWS cloud incidents, Microsoft 365 faults, security incident triage, configuration changes, and root-cause analysis. L3 covers expert escalation: complex infrastructure failures, critical incident management, and advanced security incidents. All three tiers under one engagement.
Yes. HEX64 provides remote IT helpdesk and IT support services for AWS, Azure, Microsoft 365, and Google Workspace. This includes workload monitoring, cloud cost management, identity and access management, backup verification, and incident response across hybrid and multi-cloud setups. Cloud support is included in the standard engagement.
Yes. Security is integrated into our remote IT helpdesk delivery by default – not an optional add-on.
