VeriSign Certificate Authority Reviews

I've had to deal with Verisign in one way another from now back through when they were Network Solutions and further back when they were InterNIC. The only reason I'm still a reluctant customer is because of my client's preference. In all that time they've never understood the meaning of customer service. At first they had a god complex. Then they were made commercial and got very rich very fast. Then they started losing customers when competitors were allowed in the market. They reacted by turning their wealth into aggressive marketing - both in new ads and harassing the customers they already had. They responded to lost earnings by raising prices even higher. They touted their browser support relentlessly for years, cornering the market on people who still use IE 4.. but even that failed miserably when their root certificate expired and EVERY WEB SITE IN THE WORLD who used them had to install a hack cert to keep errors from popping up for users. To this day they continue to raise prices and harass their customers, spending millions of dollars on name recognition. Verisign the best, verisign the only, verisign the first.. well sadly verisign is simply the worst. They don't like people and they don't know how to spend their money.

Building trust in our customers is our most important priority which is why we chose Verisign. They are very expensive and it can take a while to get the certificate but it is worth it.
