idea for a gift: a doc about openssl
Mon April 20, 2009
Overall Rating:
Product Purchased: True BusinessID
Support: They are inadequate. Very unresponsive.
Interface: It is difficult to use and doesn't meet my needs.
Issuance Speed: After several days

The following refers to Trustico, a GeoTrust strategic partner.

18 certs requested in about 2 years: no one complied with our needs. Some cert with OU, some without. Very hard to solve the problem and reissue certs.

I think they have to read at least some doc about SSL and/or openssl, because they asked me to send screenshots and site seals to investigate on the content of the bad certs.

Trustic is a partner, not a ca. Low skills, bad web interface to make the requests, certs send by email.

I'm switching to DigiCert.

Product Purchased: RapidSSL
Support: They are inadequate. Very unresponsive.
Interface: Very easy. I just do everything myself from their easy to use web site.
Issuance Speed: Immediately

Have asked for a 1-month trial Rapid SSL certificate since they claim they are unchained and my system doesn't support chained certs.
After I had provided my personal data, approved the phone call and all emails, I've received an e-mail telling me "Our records indicate you recently requested a GeoTrust SSL Trial certificate for your website. Unfortunately, we are unable to complete your request at this time.

Then I ask the support and they've reported they just can't tell why it has been refused.

Thanks GeoTrust for the time I've wasted with your crappy service, I will NOT order anything from you!

I bought RapidSSL from NameCheap.com and the cert was issued within one hour. I needed a bit of support, and so contected the NameCheap support. Great support!

Interface: Very easy. I just do everything myself from their easy to use web site.
Issuance Speed: Less than an hour

I have been using Geotrust for many years now and find the ordering process to be wonderfully simple and quick. The only reason I do not give 5 stars is that the interface for those who manage many certificates like us is a little primative albeit functional. Any time I have had a customer service issue, it has been resolved very quickly.

Don't trust rapidssl or their resellers

Product Purchased: RapidSSL
Support: They are inadequate. Very unresponsive.
Interface: It is difficult to use and doesn't meet my needs.
Issuance Speed: After several days

I purchased 2 rapidssl certificates through rapidsslonline.com

They are an affiliate of rapidssl/geotrust

They took my money

They did not send certs

They wont answer phone calls or emails

Rapidssl/geotrust also ignored my emails live chat was unhelpful jus said it wasnt their problem

It is because I only bought through rapidsslonline because they were an approved international seller.

Yeah they are cheap but I don't care how cheap. theft is theft and if you take my funds and refuse to supply the product that's theft.

Bottom Line don't trust rapidssl/geotrust

Product Purchased: RapidSSL
Support: They are inadequate. Very unresponsive.
Interface: It is difficult to use and doesn't meet my needs.
Issuance Speed: After a few hours

The RapidSSL customer service is terrible. They only have a chat based system even though I purchased phone support in my order. There is no set schedule for when their support is available. I would not recommend using RapidSSL.

Product Purchased: Several different products
Support: They are excellent! Very helpful and responsive and fix problems easily.
Interface: A little confusing but easy enough after I figured it out.
Issuance Speed: After a day

We have always used GeoTrust and have yet to have a problem. They are more expensive than others but I think it is worth it for the support. We tried to use a cheaper provider once but their support was terrible. For two weeks we tried to communicate with them and they would only talk to us via email and were not very helpful at all. Good support is worth paying for.

Support: They are okay. Help with any problems but it can take a while.
Interface: A little confusing but easy enough after I figured it out.

RapidSSL is perfect for us. They have cheap 128-bit certs that are compatible without almost all browsers. We've only had a small problem with Windows Mobile devices. It's just a basic domain certificate but it works great for us.
