Digicert has gone downhill after getting bought out! jprog was a multi year customer of Digicert. After the hurricane in New Orleans I was having trouble accessing one of our servers and tried to get a re-issue of our cert. The website could not do it and told me to call a number that went to a call center with English issues, which could only forward me to which was what was likely the remnants of their former stellar support team which did not pick up or call me back.

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.

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.

We've been trying to get a code signing… We've been trying to get a code signing certiticate from them now for 6 weeks. Total nightmare especially given that SSL certs are money for nothing. AVOID.

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.
