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.

I will be back for renewal I ordered a code signing certificate after lunch. A very polite lady called me less than an hour later to verify my company information. It took merely four hours to get my certificate, and I see they have validated it thouroughly. Also, I could generate and download using Chrome, I didn't have to resort to IE or IE compatibility mode in Edge. Compared to my previous vendor, who failed to validate for three weeks and use all the obsolete technology, this was totally worth the cost.

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.

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.

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!
