I'm not sure if we have a premium support license. Direct support is also fairly capable and equally useful.
Yes, there were instances when we wanted some additional integration capabilities as the client requirements were like that. Those are not directly accessible in the default settings and needed admin-level privileges to make edits. The support team made sure that the capabilities were involved and the integration was seamless. So, overall, I'm extremely pleased.
