OV Validation is a mess, no one cares about the customer I have ordered an S/Mime certificate from DigiCert. In order to be able to carry out the validation, a CertCentral account was set up. I have not heard anything more from this company. They are neither interested in the customer nor in his order. After 8 days I cancelled the whole thing, no validation team ever got in touch with me to even carry out the order. Automated orders work. But as soon as someone has to do something, everything falls apart. Never again.

Horrible experience. Horrible experience.. They activated OTP without our approuval.. They kept me on the phone for almost an our to be able to delete the OTP information they added and add our own. During that one hour, I installed Let's Encrypt on the server in question and got it working for free.. They are losing a customer.

Most of the bad reviews are related to… Most of the bad reviews are related to the validation. The process is only hard if you don't have your organization information in order. It's not hard to set up a google listing or to make sure your gov registration is up to date. Digicert has by far the best support that I've had to deal with out of the big CA's and they've worked with me through some pretty ridiculous situations.

So upset! Have been a customer for more than 5 years. Ordered and paid for my cert on Friday 1st July with 6 days before expiry. Sent mails to chase the order. Nothing. 3 hours before expiry they tried to phone a landline that we had discontinued during Covid. Everything else confirmed. Wanted a letter from my Auditors @ 10pm. One Google search for another option, SSL Cert Paid for, validated and installed before expiry for $19.00 compared to their $400.00. Horrible experience!

Truly terrible customer service - Avoid Truly terrible customer service. Having been an EV Signing certificate customer for a few years, the experience with Digicert has been terrible. The pricing for our first 3 years was competitive, a few hundreds dollars - great! However, when we came up for renewal, suddenly the price of a single year was triple the cost of our initial 3 years. This is how they get you, they know its painful to switch certificates, so they have you over a barrel come renewal time. Our "account manager" was not helpful either, offering a 30% discount on a single year and acting as though this was an amazing deal. A third of the time for double the cost, incredible. Upon telling our accunt manager that a 30% discount didn't come close to being competitive, the reply was "Understood." Abysmal.
