I called Identity Guard once to get clarification and it was very quick and non-painful. They were quick to get me notified when something happened with my credit, and that time I had my credit run through the bank. Overall, they were consistent and very accurate.

Identity Guard is a great service and it's worth the cost. I'm very happy that I have them. I love when somebody is running my credit. I see it on my watch. We have a plan for the whole family. We've had passwords of family members picked up and we were told to change our passwords. We got an email and a text message.

Signed up with Identity Guard in June 2021. It was great for the first three months. I received regular alerts and Identity Guard was very diligent in monitoring my accounts. Then on 9/27/21 I received an alert email that several of my accounts at a local bank became unlinked in Identity Guard. Tried three browsers, Microsoft Edge, Firefox and Opera and got the same error message "Cannot communicate with your financial institution." On 9/27 Identity Guard customer service rep tried to troubleshoot by having me delete cookies. She then put in an email to their IT department. I also emailed Identity Guard and received auto response that a reply would be received within 48 hours. Have not heard from Identity Guard. Called again 9/30 and spoke to Louis who said fix-it ticket was submitted to IT Department but he has no information when problem will be resolved.
Called again 10/5/2021 and was told my bank was at fault, that it must be the bank’s security system preventing me from relinking my accounts and there is nothing Identity Guard can do from their end. I then said what’s the use of having Identity Guard if they can’t monitor my accounts. The customer service rep put me on hold 30 minutes waiting for someone from Technical Support to answer. He then said he would have Tech support call me back in 24 to 48 hours as they are updating their system and the upgrading has affected their phone system.

Identity Guard works the way they said it would and nobody's running around stealing my money so that's great. I get on the app and look from time to time on there. It shows me different concerns that have been out there like threats or risks and I adjust as needed. There are also times where we've had some changes in accounts and we'd get on there and confirm that it was us. One thing I would suggest is some kind of a monthly report, a pop up type thing that will trigger you to remember. I go a long time without looking unless something pops up to have me look.

I had Identity Guard years ago. I stopped it for a brief while then picked it back up. I had a really good experience with them so even though it's expensive, I stay with it. I highly recommend it. My mother was in a nursing home, fell and broke her hip in the middle of the night. They couldn't get her to a local hospital, so they had to take her to a hospital that was not affiliated with our nursing home in any way. My mother had been dead for probably a year when the hospital started calling me, telling me that I owed her bills. The nursing home owed them because she was on Medicaid. They kept saying, “We'll pay the bills if they'll fill out the paperwork to be our vendor.” But instead, they kept harassing me. I kept telling them I wasn't gonna pay it. Within minutes of them putting a collection notice on my credit report, Identity Guard let me know and gave me the number to contact the agency that had put it on there. Because of that, within probably an hour, we had it cleared up and it was off my credit report. The reps were wonderful.

I worked for a company that had some employee tapes stolen years ago, and although they gave us a year of identity protection, I wanted to continue with that because I felt it was a smart thing to do. I had another monitoring service before and I didn't like them, so I changed to Identity Guard. So far, I've been very pleased and I didn't have the same experience as the other one. They have different levels of packages. I got one around the middle and I thought that was okay. They send me monthly monitoring reports and credit reports whenever I ask for them. I get what I should get for the money that I pay. In fact, I was about to call them in the next few days. I wanted to add something else onto my account for them to monitor.
Whenever I call them, they're perfectly courteous and professional. If I have a question they can't answer, they'll give me the correct avenue to go to to find out what I need to. I understand being an identity bureau, protecting your identity, there are certain things they're not allowed to say or answer to you. My father was scammed as a senior and so I had him sign up with Identity Guard in case we're busy and we're not watching his accounts for him. I set up the account and made up the password. My father didn't even have a computer. Then, I forgot the password. I told them that I pay for it monthly and I signed him up. They said that they couldn't give me a reset. It has to come from him. I get that they did that. Nothing happened with his accounts but I see where they can't help sometimes for the person's own protection. Even though I was unhappy, I was happy.

My husband bought me this service 2 months ago as a Valentine present. The threat of hackers stealing online identity has become quite common and is not only problematic but also dangerous. The thought of having someone else steal my personal identification is or anyone else's for that matter, is of grave concern. Think of reliving your life by someone else who is not YOU! The first month after my service became effective, I already got an alert. I called the company and spoke to the representative who informed me of a possible identity threat, reviewed the matter with me in detail, and we were able to resolve the problem satisfactorily. The feeling of having someone else monitor my online activity to ensure online security was relieving. I have great confidence in this service and would recommend it to anyone. They are reliable and not too pricey compared to the other services, and their overall ratings are very high.

We opened an account with this company last year. When the membership renewed this year, we cancelled it, just didn't feel it was worth it, no big deal. They WILL NOT RETURN WHAT THEY CHARGED MY CARD! I have a cancellation confirmation for the day of renewal. To add to the problem, we moved to a different state last year, and Identity Guard sent me an email saying "we see a new address on your profile", but now, they insist we haven't moved and make us use our old address if we try to talk to them. So much for protecting your identity. A Supervisor there keeps telling us she "needs to do more research", and never gets back to us.

There has been no fraud on my account in the last couple of years that I've engaged with Identity Guard. The customer service was good because I got a few times of email and I responded to it and they acted accordingly. The poor service is that when I call, I stay in line forever. That’s what I don’t want to keep doing unless they send an email. But sometimes I just want to make a call because I don’t want to wait, then they give an alarm, and I would stay in line for 20, 30, 40 minutes before somebody responds. That improves a lot. Then sometimes when I call, it's in India. I don’t even understand the language. Overall, it’s okay.

I've been thinking about canceling Identity Guard because I don't know if it is doing me any good.

With all of this electronic data and with each breach, pieces of information get distributed on the dark web and then some people use that to build targets.

I got scammed when I was trying to sell my timeshare and they had asked for my information and I ignorantly gave it to them. So to protect myself, I got Identity Guard. I put down all my information, my passport information, my Social Security, everything into the Identity Guard. So if anyone ever tries to use it, I will be notified and they'll protect it.
My experience with Identity Guard has been great. Every single time I check, they notify me if there's any form of pull on my credit. Just like I was putting in an application for a mortgage, I instantly got a ding on my phone from Identity Guard. I just wish there was a little bit more detail in certain aspects of it. But other than that, I really have not had any negative experiences with it.
However, I don't know if it protects my passport from being used illegally, like someone trying to sneak into the country or leave the country. I was trying to look into the description, but they didn't say anything like that. So that's about the only thing that I did not find. I've spoken to them once. But they couldn't answer the question that I was asking with regards to the passport being used. The customer service reps and even the supervisors said, “We've never had to come across a question like that.” But other than that, anytime my Social Security is used, I have been notified. So it's only been used when I've done it. There hasn't been anything that's harmed me as of yet, which is I’m so happy that I have Identity Guard. When I look at the peace of mind, the protection that is offered to knowing that my stuff is secure, that is where it exceeds the value of the money that I pay for it.

I am the person in charge at my employer bringing in products and looking for things to help our employees. So Identity Guard with theft was one of the products I brought to market to sell to all our members. I couldn't sell something and not believe in it. But it was the real time nature of Identity Guard and watching those transactions and the credit report and IBM watching. And now, they're even getting more and more ahead where they're starting to offer antivirus protection for certain packages. At the time, I got the Premier Plan and the Premier Family plan. One of the things that led me to that was the social media and as my kids get older, having some social media protection on the kids.
I have an account team that came out and demoed Identity Guard, and goes through everything with me day in and day out. And if I got any questions, I call them. But I'm probably considered more a broker than a user. So I've got the customer service team for brokerage and they take care of everything. The hardest part was when I canceled because I was switching plans. With the way we were rolling it out, I needed to cancel then re-enroll. Identity Guard gave me another three months and they wanted to make sure I didn't cancel and error, and then lose all my data. But I have no negative complaints and for the most purpose, as a regular consumer, I didn't need to reach out because the app worked great. The website was there and I was getting what I needed to get.
As with anything, every little bit adds up but the cost was fair. If I wouldn't have been the one pushing the product and believe in having the protection, it would have been a little hard to swallow. I was paying 27 bucks a month and I probably would not have made that decision to do that if I wasn't selling it, as a consumer. Our plan dropped down to 17 bucks with a lot of the changes and now, we're getting to a lot for more market comparative. Because the thing that Identity Guard fights against a lot is all the free products out there. So, there's value. But if somebody else can do 75% of the stuff that Identity Guard can do, then it's hard to quantify the extra 25 for those prices with a lot of our members.
For a lot of people, 20 bucks can be hard to stomach when they can get some free credit monitoring. That may not be as good, but if they're doing the right things on their end, maybe it's fine and it's easier for them to stomach. The cost is a little high. If people don't have Identity Guard, it is strictly because of cost, not because they don't find the product valuable. Cost is something that needs to count. As technology gets better, as more users come in, cost is an area that Identity Guard can continue to improve in. They're adding more and more value, but sometimes, it doesn't matter how much value you add if cost is already a barrier. It's hard to break through that.
Thanks for your review, Bryan. Your security is extremely important to all of us at Aura Identity Guard, which is why we're always building upon and improving our service offerings. From antivirus to identity theft protection and VPN, we've got you covered! Our priority is your peace of mind.

I am a researcher in security and cryptography. I learned of the very poor practices with respect to security that LifeLock was using which is what we had. So I ditched LifeLock, and for some time, did not have any service until I learned of Identity Guard. I couldn't find anything bad about Identity Guard in terms of concerns with respect to privacy and security and I've been uniformly pleased with customer service. They're always courteous. I've never found a representative that didn't have the perception of being knowledgeable. The thing that really stands out to me the most since having their service is the speed of response times. I've not even finished a transaction sometimes when I'm getting an alert that they've detected it. They're not a theoretical thing.
