Horrible. Was bullied into purhcasing without accurate information regarding installation and service. Was told the equipment would not require putting holes into interior or exterior walls. Installation team did not wear masks inside of my home. When attempting to cancel service per contact's terms, the salesperson who signed me up would not respond to either my own or Vivint's inquiries to confirm my cancellation, causing three full months of billing despite our equipment having already been uninstalled by a Vivint technician. I have several senior, fixed-income, english-as-a-second-language neighbors who have similarly been taken advantage of by Vivint whom I have had to advocate for in order to cancel their service (some of them never even receieved equipment, yet were being billed by Fortiva for it.) I wouldn't in a million years recommend this company to someone, unless they had deeply or mortally wounded me--even then I would hesitate.

System is good, maybe a little slow with video. Not pleased with sales, as we were told the system was free, but it's actually financed for 5 years. Quick installation. Phone app doesn't work the best for the thermostat, and customer service couldn't fix the problem.

They need to send out some sort of manual on how to use it instead of making you use the internet and trying to go through the hassle for getting Vivint support.

Honestly the system i have is the worst I've ever had . Have had major problems with the back door camera & every time I have chatted with a service person for all the problems I have been having are they tried to walk me through & fix it which it didn't work most times they informed me that I could have a tech come out but it would be a 49$ charge. Now my front door camera is messed up when I try to view live it goes completely white then normal continuously. Neither 1 of the camera record everything. As well as the app is crap as well; deleting videos etc etc. Honestly being that I'm paying for a system that is and has been faulty since the beginning I feel I shouldn't be charged 49$ or any amount for someone to come fix or replace.

The product it's self is not bad. The install techs were good. However my sales rep and experience with the customer service team were not good. Upon signing up I was under the impression from the sales rep that there was a promotion going on for free installation, however a month later I was charged 200$ for installation. After numerous attempts to get it resolved it never was. I was transferred from person to person because no one knew how to resolve the issue.

Not good. Less than satisfactory equipment and shoddy installation. Customer service is decent but promises made by salesman were not kept. Pricing is way too high for equipment. They charge over $2000 for a panel with a screen & a doorbell camera. U can get those on your own for about $400. Don't fall for their equipment fee & free installation.

Very poor! I still have not had resolution of the problem. We have a sensor which no one wants to claim so will not remove it. They said I could do it but I told them I didn't feel comfortable doing it. They sent me a replacement and said I was to put it on but I will not do that because it could mess up the system. This problem is causing our whole system to be off line and therefore we can't use it. Since we can't use it we shouldn't be charged for it.

Their app is terrible and needs an update. Their chat system on the app isn't great so it's hard to fix problems. When I've had to call customer service they had no idea what products I had. I think the equipment is good other than a problem I've had with the garage door opener. The app would tell me it's working when it's not, and then when the opener is working, it says it's not working.

Horrible!! Almost everything the salesman told me was a complete lie their camera installers weren't trained at all to install cameras in fact the guy that did mine told me he'd never done it before! They only had their service at my house for about 2 1/2 weeks before they came and removed it because none of the cameras were working and I was fed up! They left giant holes in my roof where they had drilled to install cameras on the top of the roof!This caused me to have a water leak which cost me thousands! And after my service was canceled I had a fight with the other company that are associated with the gives you the loan for the cameras just to get them to stop charging me the $3000 that they were charging me! Strongly recommend not going with this company!

The Vivint system is fairly easy to use and understand. Reliability is acceptable. The big gripe I have is the cost and there does not appear to be anything that justifies it. If I had known more when I signed the contract, I would have went with another provider. The app is also very buggy and routinely crashes (Android). Our garage door opener only works when you get right next to the garage, due to some kind of interference caused by a camera near it. All in all, the system works for the most part but I am not a happy camper and I have learned my lesson. When our contract ends, we'll be switching.

I have already filled this out in detail. Overall it seems to work okay.

Would rate 0 if survey offered it. Extremely shady sales practices. Salesman did not provide the cancellation paperwork when he set up the "trial period" and made it impossible to cancel within the 3 day window because the salesman avoided my calls and texts about cancelling. The tech that intially came to install the equipment for the trial period drilled 4 holes in my wall trying to find a stud, AFTER I offered to let him use my stud finder and he stated he had one in his truck. They were in a multi state class action lawsuits for the very same sketchy business practices several years ago. I would avoid this company AT ALL COST.
