    It’s my first day with my install so I’m not sure I can recommend to a friend yet! However, I’m very grateful and happy to have been chosen for the beta testing! So far I’ve been very impressed with the communication and professionalism. I’m very excited to finally have a security and feel at peace! My review so far is 5 stars all day!

    My experience with Vivint has been nothing but professionalism and very good customer service which is lacking nowadays. My technician Steve was very informative and patient with all of my questions and concerns. Again I can’t say enough about the great customer service and professionalism of the vivint employees. From the beginning to the end of becoming a new customer to Vivint I was impressed and I will definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a great home security system.

    Tech (Lee) went over the Vivint system and also qualified to get it. Also gave options on other things also. Went over the alarm system. Really a lot to fill out on the day of and should have a better process. Will recommend but a better process is needed and may want to give tech another table for the client.

    I'm a new home owner and newly activated customer of Vivint Security. I've had a great experience with each support personnel I've spoken with. I absolutely appreciated the quick responses via text messages from customer support who was waiting for me to contact him once the closing of my house happened. He was able to assist me right away once I was ready. My activation specialist also was able to assist me on my panel activation process and answer my questions. Thank you so much and look forward to the security in my new home.

    Vivint has the right individual on the job! Cedric was an absolute professional and ensured we were pleased with everything to include walking us through the control panel, app, camera set ups and even extending a follow up if we needed anything else before he left. Would definitely request Cedric for any additional services needed and recommend him for anyone in the area that appreciates great customer service.

    The technician David was great and friendly. He was knowledgeable about the product and did inform me about the different features and ways to use the product. The only drawback was the process wasn't figured out for Beta testers. The survey and testing was not easy and he had to work with tech support which took a while and makes the appointment lengthy.

    I have to admit this has been the best experience when it comes to installation services. The service gentleman by the name of Daryl, went above and beyond in making sure I had the equipment needed. He took his time and call the company to change some items that I don’t have any use for, he took his time and explained and installed the entire system, doorbell cameras, even added my thermostat. He also went to the attic and installed the doorbell all these things way out saying this is complicated and I will need another day etc. workers and service people like this is hard to find. Thank you Daryl for the installation.

    This company apparently values product sales over good customer service. Our sales representative misled us by offering to BUY OUT our then current security company, ADT's cancellation fee if we signed up Vivint. We made the mistake of signing up. Needless to say, after the equipment was installed the promised buy-out never materialized. Fortunately, we were able to cancel the entire installation process freeing us from having 2 security companies to pay.

    The installation service was easy, with all phases detailed by the installer. Was able to re-use some of the previously installed hardware to reduce equipment costs. System introduction was simple though the video interview requirement seemed heavy handed. That was more Vivint policy vs the install service provided which was outstanding.

    Agreed to service that I thought included the feature to change my home's temperature through the smart panel, or app. I already have this included with the panel I was using before, for free. Not super thrilled that I will no longer have that feature. However, I am happy with everything else, and my overall experience.
