I really like some of the advanced features, but the installation was not as easy as advertised and still leaves us questions on how well some features are working.

Our system is so big and clunky. They should have at least offered the newer touchscreen one (even if it was more $) when we ordered.

Security system is okay but my motions continuously don't work despite tech assurance. I was also told when I signed up that I could split the system in to two zones and now I'm told that's not possible.

This review is focused on the kind of Company Frontpoint appears to be rather than its security systems (which seem to be fine based on my 4 plus years of service...the only reason they got 2 stars). Silly me deciding to move and discontinuing my service. Their 'save' team process makes the cable TV and cellular companies look like kindergartners. After having to surf the internet (no, not on their site) to find a phone number I got the usual 'try to save me' routine no matter how many time I refused. Then I was told I could only quit on line and they would have to send me a link. They send the magic link and guess what...more attempts to 'save' me. Then when they are refused you MUST agree to their cancelation policy...which FORCES you to agree to pay for an extra month of service...AFTER YOU'VE DISCONTINUED!! I you don't agree...YOU ARE UNABLE TO CANCEL. OUTRAGEOUS. Don't be fooled. Obviously Frontpoint is only concerned with their bottom line. This experience made me sorry I ever used them in the first place.

I liked this company for their prices, services, and subscription; however, customer service has dwindled in quality over the past year to the point where I have attempted to call over 10 times and been on hold for 1-3 hours without getting my issue resolved. I am beginning to think that if you want to cancel a subscription you will get a lengthy run around. The one time I did get someone on the phone in the past month, he said that he needed to send me to another department and again on the phone waiting two hours without a result. It has been one month, and I have just been charged again for a subscription that I do not need because I am renting out my home. UPDATE: I just paid 199.00 to cancel this service because I was told that I could have requested a call back that was automated. The recording on the system clearly stated that they are not offering call backs due to Covid. I do not have a confirmation email of cancellation. I was told that I have to wait until my last month of service. Yes, they charged me an extra month because they said I needed to provide 30 days notice. I tried to contact them for months. Frontpoint is not a trustworthy company. Do not trust them with anything that has to do with securing your home, or you will find a breach in the security of your wallet. Their customer service department is awful. I am suspicious that there is no cancellation and that they will just continue charging me. I will post an update later.

I am a frontpointsecurity customer for 7 months now. The automation features are good, it does have hiccups where sensor misses and camera freezes but in general automation is good with z-wave device integration. Frontpoint can do so much better that they are now, hope to have better service and trust with them.

I had a low battery indication on one motion detector. Tech support told me to replace the battery on the detector. (I did not know that once this happens the whole system becomes inoperable). It took me over an hour to take apart the motion detector to replace the battery. I got so frustrated, I thought about switching to other security companies that have better equipment. Half the tech support are almost no help at all. The fact that a motion detector having a weak battery will make the whole system inoperable and useless is mind boggling.

I used Frontpoint for 6 years with no issues (positive or negative) but my experience with their customer service at the end was horrible at best, and fraudulent at worst. I sold my house and transferred my security system & service to my home buyer effective March 30 and both of us signed the transfer doc. When I was still charged for April and the account rep who processed the transfer did not respond I was forced to call customer service. My expected wait time was greater than 90 minutes and the computer asked for a number to call back. Two days later, I got the call back and explained my dilemma. Customer Service transferred me to account services to find out why the transfer didnt take place. That blind transfer put me 167th in line and, again, the computer offer to have a rep call me back. After another 2 days, I got a call back from customer service, not account services, and they suggested I just cancel rather than transfer. I had already been billed for April, even though the transfer was supposed to be effective March 30 and when I canceled, I was charged for May as well. Two big issues here: 1. Is a security company who takes 2 days to call back really the company you want to count on if you have a fire or break-in? 2. Is the account services group so unorganized that they lose paperwork and can’t respond to customers or is the transfer to the new owner recommendation the entry into a fraudulent practice to gouge 2 more months of service fee out an exiting client? This process cost me an extra $100 in addition to the time a frustration trying to close it out. And who knows what the new owner will have to pay to get the system started again.

I've been trying for over a month to get someone to call me regarding the possibility of cancelling my contract. Their website has their customer service department closing at 7 pm on Saturday yet they weren't answering the phone at 6:15 pm on Saturday. The "chat" told me they shut off the phones due to the large volume of calls. Lame answer. The cost is almost twice per month what other companies offer and this is their idea of service. They're making my mind up for me regarding taking my business elsewhere.

Thank God I didn’t write this review yesterday because today I was informed my autopay was processed 3x... Yes, Front Point autopay service was charged 3x. Such an inconvenience to my other responsibilities I have on autopay. Overall, Front Point customer service is awesome and efficient. I would recommend Front Point to family members and friends. I would also recommend them to not setup autopay.

Have had Frontpoint 3 yrs now. Reliable customer svc. There is a problem now with their panel batteries. I am going on my 4th panel in 3 wks! Very frustrating and stressful. It started 3 wks ago with tampering alerts and the battery swelling in the panel. The battery feels hot as well. They sent panel #2, #3 that could not connect to cellular towers. After a week my battery is now showing no charge. CSR is now saying their battery is defective manufactured by another company. They are now sending my 4th panel....you can choose from a 1st generation panel or another type panel? Sorry Frontpoint I'm done. It's not worth the stress.

The customer service reps have been absolutely phenomenal! I really appreciate their knowledge and patience. The only thing I'd say is a negative about Frontpoint is the monthly fees compared to other companies. I wish Frontpoint would review that and lower their rates...

I made a big mistake entering into a contract with them. High-pressure sales to get the "deal". I thought the contract was for one year but then found out after I signed the contract was for three years. Their customer service was great at first, but as time went by it got worse and worse. Most notably, not following up after an alarm went off ever. Ours went off in the middle of the night when we were out of town. They were quick to wake us up but they never contacted us to let us know a resolution. We contacted them in the morning after a long and anxious night and were told to contact the police. It turns out there is a faulty sensor that we generally don't use. I try to contact them and have waited months for a reply. I am working to get out of the 3 YEAR contract I am trapped in currently. It is very slow and not going well. The two stars is because the products do work fairly well on a day to day basis. The door sensors do their job and I find the chime reassuring. The motion sensor is terrible but we have learned not to use it (after that disastrous out of town experience). The app is good for what we need and we use it a lot.

They lock you into a contract for 2-3yrs, $50. + a Month, Very poor tech support (Used 3-4 times), Unless you can talk to 2 or 3 level tech as 1st level is very bad, One time even 2 level did not know how to do simple things, Devices fail they replaced some, Then it takes 2 or more tech to get it to work, Then guess what out of the 5 we replaced 3 quit again, I get so tired of a unreliable system, There was 2-4 months we could not use it. It would go off intermittently in the middle of the night, it said Garage door was open and it was not I freaked out if I had not see my door in my security camera that it was closed WOW !! As soon as my time is up I'm going to switch, I spent more than $1k - $2K with the discount of a signup with a contract on the system, 4 Motions Dec, Indoor camera, smoke/fire, 15+ win/doorns, Deluxe panel --- You can only have 1 panel on the system :-( -- I almost put a 1 star rating it borter line 1-2 rating. (Just a note about me, I have trouble writing and do every few reviews because of it, But I use them when I buy stuff so I want to try and pass on my thoughts about my Frontpoint EQ, I installed alarm systems for 5+ yrs, Over 30+ yrs in Computers/Electronics and I just turned 60 yrs old)

On Aug. 20th, 2017, I wrote a critical assessment of my experience with FrontPoint. Five days later, someone in their customer relations department contacted me by phone and email and, shortly thereafter, I received the refund I was originally promised. As a consequence, I feel it is warranted to update my rating of this company from zero to 5. I remain wary of how the service relationship will proceed from this point. After all, the promises made weren't actually kept until AFTER the company received negative press. Nevertheless, I will give them a chance to provide the service, both customer and security, that earned them a higher than average score in the first place and hope that the glitches I initially experienced, perhaps caused by poorly trained staff, will abate.
