Review DigiCert 2025
DigiCert
DigiCert is a leading digital security company headquartered in Utah. Their core function revolves around trust on the internet, acting as a certificate authority (CA). DigiCert issues digital certificates, also known as SSL/TLS certificates, which play a critical role in website encryption and authentication. This encryption ensures secure communication between your browser and a website, protecting sensitive data and verifying website legitimacy. Beyond certificates, DigiCert offers a range of PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) solutions and website security products, making them a comprehensive partner for businesses seeking robust online security.

Bait-and-switch pricing. At our first annual renewal, our EV certificate/keylocker price increased from $800/year to $6800 a year because they now charge per signature.
i worked with this company since the stone age. the equipment is still the same fantastic. they have many different rock types to utilized in working and a lot of meat to eat. would work with them again. RUOK
Been a long-time customer of DigiCert. Seven years ago DigiCert used to be a great company with great support, but over the past few years the prices have been going up while the customer experience has been getting worse with each year. The final drop for us was them wasting our time and blatantly lying to us, so we decided it's obviously not a company to work with anymore.
Wow...Digicert has introduced a new payment model for ssl certificates and now nothing is working...one cannot buy a certificate and when one proceeds with the payment, the payment frozes money on the account. That's tragic, when one cannot buy a product for 3 days straight - is this the speed I will be getting once I have an issue with their SSL? I would loose all my clients this way. I have reached out multiple times to their tech teams and sales teams - no discount, no solution, nada
Can't verify our business as they're using out of date sources they choose to use but we need to fix them as it's not their responsibility...Waste of 300 quid, DO NOT USE
THEY ARE SCAMMERS, THEY MADE ME PAY $755 AND AFTER 1 MONTH OF TOUGHING ME ABOUT VERIFY THEY REFUSED TO VERIFY AND WON'T REFUND MY MONEY AT ALL. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A MONTH AND THEY STILL DON'T ANSWER ME.
They sold me an ssl certificate with less features than what advertised. After contacting them I waited months for an answer and no solution has been found. I feel scammed by them. I will never use their certificates again, there are several alternatives, even free ones.
We've been trying to get a code signing certiticate from them now for 6 weeks. Total nightmare especially given that SSL certs are money for nothing. AVOID.
Its been two months now and they are neither issuing the certificate nor refunding the money. Anyone who even think of buying something from them should consider the 1 star reviews of them (I was stupid to not do a basic search on trustpilot). A few hundred dollars lost to them, i wish you guys bu** in h*** scammers
They tried to upsell to something our client didn't need, and then we went through a bunch of emails that were completely unnecessary rather than just letting us make the purchase. We'll be going elsewhere - they're a waste of time.
