Tried getting a code signing cert from… Tried getting a code signing cert from these people. The absolute worst experience I have ever had. Avoid, avoid, avoid. I ended up canceling after days of wasted chat conversations and phone calls. Their call center is in Australia apparently. Each agent has a new and different reason for why you can't be validated. Everything said on this site is true.

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.

CEO words CEO words: "SECURITY IS EASY WHEN YOU PUT PEOPLE FIRST We focus on the person behind every secure transaction. Initially, DigiCert was founded out of frustration. Digital security shouldn’t be difficult. It should relieve worry, not cause it. And yet something as simple as buying a certificate was so often a painful, time-consuming and frustrating slog through technical jargon and phone-trees. We knew there had to be a better way. So we built it. And then we kept building, always keeping our focus on how our work could help real people solve real problems." CertiSign, their Brazilian branch, is doing precisely the opposite.

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.

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.
