Protect America Austin Texas Dishonest & Deceptive Company! If there’s any doubt that Protect America in Austin Texas is not a corrupt, sorry and pitiful company, please read the reviews taken verbatim from Yelp. There are hundreds of them going back several years. Their main emphasis is ripping their clients off for every cent they can. They deploy an in-house sycophant/toady Andrew R. who responds to hundreds of negative reviews with a “thanks for reaching out.” I know it’s not easy being a shill for one of the worst companies in the world, but how about a little understanding, compassion and fundamental decency? No such luck with this dishonest, deceptive & pathetic company “I find it a bummer when companies take advantage of situations, when the customer is clearly unhappy with their services, and no longer using, or wanting to use their services, yet they still demand payment for them. You would think a company would want to have their customers walking away from their services, feeling good, or at least neutral about it. This practice of their's, ensures that the customer is walking away unhappy, frustrated, and very likely inspired to speak poorly of the company. I know I will never use Protect America again, and I will likely be more vocal about it to those asking about it. Please choose wisely.” “Beware of these company! Me and my husband got both laid off! Last year when I was still in the trail period and wanted to cancel they gave me three months free I said Okay yet I call Explain how I'm being affected by covid19 and they've said I reached my maximum amount Of credits without knowing those three months were added as credits! What are we Going to do now!? There is a contract and this could negatively affect my credit! No sense of empathy or caring for the customer! Just caring on messing people more up knowing we're in a crisis!” “I find it a bummer when companies take advantage of situations, when the customer is clearly unhappy with their services, and no longer using, or wanting to use their services, yet they still demand payment for them.

They are very scammy and the equipment is terrible. Avoid these guys and the lengthy contracts. Protect America does not do what they advertise, at all, in any way shape or form. There reviews have only remained strong because they basically pay people or give them something at a discount to write a better review. I know this first hand, because I they offered me free things to change my review. The truth is, they will not be there when you need them the most. There entire business model is based on creating unnecessary fees, over charging, and when you cancel they bill you one extra time to get another payment. they are only following the procedure. There system is a scam making customers feel like it is their fault because the equipment is not working. If you want to be nickel and dimed, if you want horrible customer service, and most of all if you want your home to be unsafe and get charged for it.... then sign up with these guys. time. adequate alarm services as they advertise. Protect America is just terrible, there is no other way to put it.If I could rate them lower than one star, I. Their lack of integrity and inferior customer service is horrendous.” 4/30/2020 Updated review “This company will not stop calling me after I told them I do not want to do business with them. Harassment pure & simple! We have been trying to cancel this account for over a year now and every time we call the wait time is over an hour! They just keep charging our account each month

Equipment great; customer relations not so much! To start with, our salesman either misrepresented a few things or was misinformed himself! He emphasized that this was a wireless system and explained all the great things the system will do! We bought 2 systems. One for our church and one for our home. We had a wired system that was old and needed updating so we were thrilled with all the new concepts in wireless. Low and behold when we opened the box after a VERY quick delivery, the main control needed to be plugged in. We had NO place to put it. Had we been told, we probably wouldn't have bought. We had to scrounge around and figure out where to put everything; the techs were good in instructing my husband on all the equipment. We've been VERY happy with the Iphone app and Ipad that gives us full access to the systems remotely. We've had some glitches in getting used to the new system but by and large its been a good experience. Certainly not inexpensive, but so far so good.

Does not actually provide security Does not actually provide security. The systems are cheap, and when they fail to perform basic functions, the company hides behind long term contracts to keep you paying monthly. Very frustrating, have tried many times to cancel or get something that works...countless hours testing my patience with customer service, tech support, and upper management. Can't wait until my contract is expired so I can get away from this company. (Note: My original contact w Protect America was transferred to Alarm.com; not sure of their affiliation, but my review applies to both companies)

Did not get what I was Promised to re-new my contract! I was promised 2 new yard signs and a carbon dioxide unit for free upon exercising the completed 2 yr. contract. It never happened. I have yet to hear from you and it has been months.

Could be better We've been a customer for years. We pay for monitoring monthly. For the most part we have had great customer service. We recently experienced a loss of phone service including all dial tone, yet we weren't contacted by the service at all. They have an alternate number to reach us in such an emergency, but no one did so. We are beginning to wonder if their monitoring is worth the price. we also have issues with the equipment we had to pay for when we signed up and we cannot get it repaired. Oh well.
