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.

Absolute time wasters Absolute time wasters! Totally unaware of local laws! Denied my UK business an SSL certificate just because we are not registered at companies house. Ordinary partnerships do not need to be registered at companies house. But they didn’t listen to any of my emails trying to explain this. They basically say: you can not get an SSL certificate unless you are LTD company! Terrible experience. Stay clear! Now I need to fight to get a refund! Terrible experience.

Certificate validation is a disaster! Certificate validation is a disaster! They found some 10 year old (non existing) telephone number of our company in some public company listing and they keep phoning that number for the validation call, even tough we gave them the correct (current) number when signing up with them (Duh!) Which is also on our websites contact us form (Duh!) and on Google my Business (Duh!).etc. Stay far away from this company. Waste of time, energy and money.

In my opinion it's not worth the hassle… For me it's not worth the hassle! It was the worst on-boarding experiences I have had in a long time. They try to make you contact some platforms I had never heard of before to update information like your phone number. It's 2023 and there are official business registration sites like companies house in the UK, just so you know DigiCert team. Maybe they should check their documentation of platforms that they can trust rather than trying to make the customer update some information on some private websites. Who even thought a phone number is a great way to validate a business? So many things were strange about it all that I got my order cancelled and refunded.

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.
