Good customer service. Helpful when I have called in for support. Prices are a little high when an existing customer wants to buy additional devices.

My current equipment is good. I know they have newer versions but I am not interested it that. Customer service is very responsive and helpful when I reach out to them.

Wireless before a lot of companies were wireless. It is one of the few companies that tells you when your power is out and it continues to work. My doorbell camera doesn’t work as well as I want it to.

Support is very helpful and polite. They seem to know all the answers. The only problems I have had is having the batteries replaced. It is very easy and convenient.

They lack features. There are some limitations with their system. The quality of the external camera is not high resolution. It cannot record sound. It is nice that you can control the whole house with a phone and it is easy to set up and use. They could do a better job integrating automated services.

We’ve had some flaky monitoring particularly with the window monitors and a couple of times the smoke alarms but they are right on top of things and it is easy to use.

Their equipment is expensive but I will stay with them. Their technical support has worked me though everything and explained it so I can understand. They’re pretty good.

Its average. There is nothing spectacular about it. It works most of the time. The last time I had to use their technical support they had no clue what was wrong and tried to sell me another panel when all I needed was a battery.

Find another company other than Frontpoint. Even though the used to be the best, they no longer because of their customer service. I’ve had problems with them double billing me and refusing to return my money. I am going to be canceling. Also the equipment is bulky and the pieces often fall.

It seems to work just fine. There's been some difficulty. It's easy to get ahold of them to get billing straightened out but it's very difficult to get replacement parts for things.

You guys do seem to know how to solve problems. I think all the equipment could be improved on because of the price. Other words I think the price is a little steep for product and the product could be a lot better.

Their customers service is great. But some of their sales reps are slimy. The contract signed will make you continue to pay for the plan throughout a certain time frame- no way out period. This is in the contact, you even initial next to it. I was in a dangerous situation with an ex when I called and should have read what I was initialing next too, granted. But they NEVER said this. They never literally said this is a 2year contract or you will have to continue paying this until the contract ends. Buy out is not the price of equipment either, it‚Äôs some stupid high percentage of what you would have paid if you finished out the contract. For this reason, I don‚Äôt recommend them. I think that it‚Äôs slimy to treat people who truly needed help that way and then say ‚Äúwhelp, you initialed so there‚Äôs nothing we can do‚Äù I agree I should have read the fine print I tested of trusting them to be upfront and open and honest like a 3 company would be.

Worst experience ever! I can only presume that Frontpoint‚Äôs Mission Statement is ‚ÄúWe‚Äôll secure your home, but we‚Äôll invade your bank account!‚Äù Frontpoint made an unauthorized debit of $191 from my bank account in January 2021. I had just called in payments during October, and November 2020; having opted to call in payments rather than authorizing them to make recurring debits. Despite that arrangement, and despite the two recent payments I made, Frontpoint charged and withdrew nearly two hundred dollars without any prior verbal consent from me to do so. I felt violated. The company could have utilized appropriate recourse instead; they could have simply terminated my service, forwarded my account to collections and followed due process. But instead, they behaved like the proverbial ‚Äúthief in the night‚Äù themselves!

Used to like more. Last issue I had to call twice and rep wasn't the friendliest. Also alarm has gone off for what felt like a long period and no one calls. If there was a serious situation...... so I dont feel safe and feel I pay too much for what I get. Will be shopping around soon.

Frontpoint is great at responding to you when you have a problem. Their motion detector doesn't work and will turn off or make a sound when it shouldn't. I like that I can turn the system on and off from my phone.

I went with Frontpoint because they seemed to have the most secure system. It takes them a long time to answer the phone in customer service, but the system itself is easy to use. My system fell off and broke and now the front door camera doesn't work. Buyers beware, because they have a contract that sucks you in for five years and you can't get out of it without paying a large fee. They are very elusive about their contract before you sign up.

Prompt handling of alarms, easy to use app. An area to improve would be an easy way to set up a temporary person to notify of alarms when I'm on vacation and have a house sitter.

The service had deteriorated over the last 2 years. The most serious, IMHO, is the way how Frontpoint reacts in case of the alarm. Originally, it was a human agent asking what is going on, so one could give a hint that it is a danger. Now there is an automated question, so everyone can answer and cancel the alarm.

Their customer service offers simple and good support. Their monitoring is very expensive and their customer support is nickled and dimed. Our sign broke and they wanted to charge us for a sign or batteries. I would think that for the premium price we pay, they would give us a new sign for free. I'm disappointed in the way they provide service.

I'm disappointed with the quality of the equipment. They don't upgrade existing user's equipment. Their system is easy to use, but I think they need to be more competitive with their pricing in both their subscription and equipment.

Better than ADT. No appointments for equipment set-up because its all DIY. Phone support is great. Older model motion sensors malfunctioned, transmitting a false alarm several times. Hopefully the new model is improved.

I've had them going on 8 years now. At the time they had the best deal and customer service. The people at Frontpoint are always friendly and very helpful. I like the sense of security and the fact that I know it's there in the background. Keeping me safe. I've had a lot of things not work in the past few years.

We've had panels fall apart. We've had the motion sensors that stopped working that aren't supported on the original contract so I had to pay a significant amount to replace them. Most recently when my alarm was tripped I got a call from a real person.

They are pretty responsive and follow up with multiple calls. It's easy to install and seems to work well. I know they moved to a month to month model and we'd definitely rather have that than be stuck in a contract.
