Update by user Jul 28, 2015

I'm still with Vivint for now, but it hasn't been an easy journey. In the time I've been with Vivint I've had so many outages that required me to wait multiple days without internet to get a technician to my house. I've only survived because I used my phone as a hotspot...

I live in El Paso, TX and I don’t recommend vivint. Their internet is unreliable and refuse to give you credit for all the days you have no internet.

I switched to spectrum and couldn’t be happier. I regret not getting spectrum before.

They will not cancell

3.2
I paid out the contract and they agreed to cancel the contract. But I still keep getting bills to pay more money. I have called them 4 times and the bills keep coming even after I paid them out. They keep saying they will cancel, but they never do.

User's recommendation: THey are a good company the software is great. But they are very expensive and way over priced.

Overall Eating of My Personal Experience with Vivant

1.4
Problems with key pad on 2 occasions--waited nearly an hour to speak with tech each time. Continuing problems yielded in-person service call. Fire alarm not connected correctly and was never working. Moved but monthly service changes continued despite verbal and written notice of move and intent to reconnect once established. Right hand doesn't know (or care) what left is doing.

User's recommendation: Do biz elsewhere. Rarely experienced such a poorly run operation.

I cancelled the service and the company continues to bill. Does not honor the terms of the agreement.

Alarm not going off

2.0
Someone coming into my apartment. The alarm is not going off. Vivint cannot solve the problem and will not cancel the contract. The intruder comes in and puts spots on the carpet, furniture and clothes.

Terrible customer service, terrible experience with equipment that does not work ever

1.0
Cameras don't come on. Unable to monitor my house away from home. Playback space monkey system does not work. Total junk. They have even admitted their equipment is not as nice as Costco cameras. And cost more.

User's recommendation: My recommendation is stay away from Vivint.

Rude salesperson

1.0
Salesman for Vivint came to door at 8:30 pm. When I very politely told I wasnt interested but thank you and have a nice evening he just stood there and stared at me. I again politely repeated myself and he snorted/scoffed at me and turned around mumbling who knows what as he walked away. I specifically will not purchase from Vivint after this.

User's recommendation: Vivint has rude salespeople.

Un-needed service

1.0
Moved to rural area June 2020. Called to cancel service, was told we were still under contract(?) no contact with them since 2016. Insisted that we still had 1 year for contract. Installed system in rented home with sensors on "3" doors and was told that it would be much less expensive and the monthly fee is approximately the same. Have never recd any registration info.

User's recommendation: Require proof of contract as they lie to keep you.

Harrassment

1.0
I threatened if they put a foot on my property I would have them arrested because they were told to stay off. Asked them to stop texting me and calling me. Apparently they use a 3rd party to do the harassment. There is no number for the corporate executive office - only 800 who is not who I want. Been horrible - thankfully I cancelled and the deposit did not even run through my account. I have emailed with someone who sent me the cancellation confirmation and she promised no one would show - I sent her the text messages I continued to receive. I block every number. Absolutely HORRIBLE and they Lie!

User's recommendation: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.
