As a user experience designer the first thing I ask for is access to any and all data available, including support chat system and access to support folks so I can quickly gauge the general level of issues being experienced. It’s just one way to identify possible issues, far in advance of jumping to make any UI changes.

> and access to support folks

This is key. Support people is the ones that talk with customers, and know what's going on. Their experience is key.

In most companies this people is low-pay look-down people, gets tired quickly etc.
