Flexible and Informative.

Product Purchased: ObjectSign Code Signing Certificate
Support: They are excellent! Very helpful and responsive and fix problems easily.
Interface: Very easy. I just do everything myself from their easy to use web site.
Issuance Speed: After a day

Switched to GlobalSign for an Authenticode code-signing certificate after our previous provider actually refused (!) certificate renewal due to a non-E911 -compliant company phone number (Google Voice, SkypeIn, jConnect, etc.) GlobalSign not only offered to accept any U.S. -based phone number, but also proposed alternative order verification procedures, such as a letter from a company attorney, or a GlobalSign passphrase letter mailing. GlobalSign vetting/support e-mail messages were very informative with suggestions on how to make the ordering process go as smoothly as possible, signed by a representative with a first and a last name, included full contact information and were even spell checked. GlobalSign portal for code-signing certificate ordering and collection was pretty straightforward and worked fine under UNIX/FireFox. Recommended.

Serving only USA, UK and a few other major countries. Nothing "global".

Organization: Blumentals Solutions SIA

Our company is from a smaller European country - Latvia (full member of European Union). After placing an order for code signing certificate we had to wait for a whole *week* just to find out that they are "not able to issue code signing certificates" for companies located in our country.

From what I could understand, they can only serve few major countries where they have validating facilities. This seems very discriminating and clashes with their corporate name "GlobalSign". Apparently they are not as global.

Unless you are from USA, UK or one of other major countries (I believe they are served alright), placing an order with GlobalSign is a waste of time. I hope we will get a refund at least. A major disappointment.

Broken links, nonsensical responses, can't get renewed.

Support: They are okay. Help with any problems but it can take a while.
Interface: It is difficult to use and doesn't meet my needs.
Issuance Speed: After a day

Their renewal reminder email sent me to a login page that ended up at "page not found." After several support emails, I got a new link which wouldn't let me change any options but still ended up at "Sorry, this combination of products & options is not available." I don't know how anyone ever renews! We had to give up and find another provider.

Just switched from Entrust following a review of SSL purchases. Looked at your TopTen in terms of complexity of offering, price and ease of deployment. GlobalSign have launched asuite of mangement tools including Auto-CSR and are the only CA to offer real 24x7 support across the globe. So it was a no brainer. Oh, and the certs work really well.

Product Purchased: OrganizationSSL
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.
Issuance Speed: After a day

GlobalSign certainly isn't the cheapest provider but we found that their user interface worked really well and had advanced management features. We've contacted support a couple of times and they have been very helpful in helping us install the certificates. They offer quote a few different products but we found the OrganizationSSL to be the best match for our needs.
