When I have a question or need help with equipment, the staff members are right there to help. If alarm goes off you are immediately connected first by phone and if you can't be reached you get a text and email. Staff members are friendly and knowledgeable. In my opinion I think they are just wonderful.

Keep up the good work. I am very satisfied. I like the comfort knowing my home is being monitored. The price versus what you get is relatively positive for the customer. There are no failures with the equipment. It meets my expectations. They are very customer oriented and work diligently to resolve your issues.

Support is always responsive and polite. They know who I am when I call. Installation is simple. It functions well, the way it is supposed to. It has lasted four plus years on the original batteries. I think they should include the app in the standard subscription because it being in the premium subscription leaves people feeling underwhelmed with value.

I chose frontpoint because it is self installation. It is easy to do. I have had some issues with the sensors. They are not cheap and I think they could do a better job replacing the equipment if it is faulty. I have moved to two different locations and have used frontpoint in these locations. There have been newer technologies released since I started with them and I have not been offered upgrades and I think for fifty dollars a month I should have the highest technology monitoring my house. They are pretty good with their customer service and the monitoring is great though.

I like their mobile app for my phone. I have been happy with how they have treated me as a customer. They’ve helped me out when I’ve had false alarms and stuff. Some of the false alarms have cost me money and I would like it if they dropped the prices.

My Frontpoint experience was great for the first few years. Fortunately we haven't had to utilize them for any true security issues but when we've had a few false alarms, they were very responsive. My two biggest issues are 1) the options available to you once you are out of contract. For example, the battery on my control panel swelled to the point where it was pushing out the battery door and no longer working. Thankfully I noticed before it exploded or overheated. But when I tried to work with Frontpoint to get a replacement battery, my options were either to try and buy one privately somewhere or upgrade to a new panel that no longer includes a touchscreen. neither option was ideal, so i've just continued using the unit without the backup battery. The other issue is the price. Frontpoint continues to be priced much higher than a lot of the newer competitors, who are essentially offering the same service for half the price (or less in some circumstances). Frontpoint should absolutely consider making their pricing more competitive or I would anticipate them being driven out of the market.

While no one wants to experience a home invasion, Frontpoint was there for me when my home was recently broken into. I've had excellent customer service when needed and the ease of operating my system from an app is so helpful. I've never had a false alarm with Frontpoint's system--a great improvement over a prior security company.

The product is easy to use. They have the best price for a new home. Customer service is really diligent and efficient. If they are not able to fix things right then and there, they call back to solve the issue. I appreciate that they work really hard.

I’m happy with front point. They have been there for me. It was pretty seamless transferring the service from the previous owner to me. When the alarm went off, they called in less than a minute. It is easy to use and it blends in.

The best part is the ease of use with the app. Their customer service has always answered all my questions. Sometimes the battery on the on the command center unit or whatever it's called the control panel or the control panel don't last that long or there's a failure so that's something that they should working to. Also, some of our sensors don't always work.

Frontpoint's system is wireless so it's easy to install. I like the cost and flexibility. It's decent stuff but it's it's kind of cheap and we've had a few a few bugs with the control unit. But, customer service has been responsive and they've worked to correct issues when we've had them.

After I was told I'd get a return call from customer support, I waited over a week and a half to hear back from someone. I've only had problems with one sensor, because all the other ones have worked great. They are good at calling back when an alarm is triggered.

Whenever I've needed to call this company about fixing or replacing something, they send something out to fix it. When an alarm goes off, they're good at calling me back. Their security system is durable and holds up for a long time. It's easy to use and the keypad can be handheld if you don't want to mount it somewhere on your wall.

My friends referred me to Frontpoint and I'm glad they did because they are very quick, concise, and helpful. We've had quite a few sensors stop working unfortunately, but I like that I can use my cell phone to monitor the system.

I went with Frontpoint because they offered a great product and service. Sometimes my system gets disconnected and a tech works with me to fix it. The service was excellent in rectifying the problem. Everything in the system works and on the rare occasion that something goes out they replace it at no cost to me.

When I need to call customer service, they connect me with an actual person easily. I like feeling safe when going out of town having this system. One thing I wish they would improve is adding on free things to loyal customers. I've been with them for several years and wish they'd offer new free things to existing customers.

You install this system yourself which is why we went with them. The security system has done everything we've wanted it to do. I get a lot of emails from them, but I wish they would call me with new things they are offering rather than just emailing it.

I went with Frontpoint to be my business' security system because they have a lower monthly payment than other companies. They are usually very attentive when I call and they answer my questions with no issues. We had some initial issues with the sticky stuff they provided to mount our base, but we were able to figure it out with them. I really like the app they have to monitor and use the system. I wish they had a better system for billing invoices to businesses.

Customer support is easy to get a hold of and the system was easy to install. In fact, I was able to install it myself. Their app is user friendly. The only complaint I have is there is an annual fee I wasn't aware of, and then I had to pay a late fee on top of the annual fee.

We have had Frontpoint for 4 years and they do all of the things you would expect from a security firm, monitor the home when the alarm is set and give you a quick call if the alarm is activated.But, the do more when we changed internet providers one of there associates walked me thru resetting my cameras. This was no small feat, I worked on it for several hours before I gave up and called Customer Service. With in 10 minutes both my cameras were back up.

Was intially a bit difficult to initially install sensors because of type of windows home has, however robust technical customer service to help with technical issues. Once tech issue was resolved, installation was easier. Suggestion is to provide a digital table display instead of key pad.

Their customer service people skills are really good. They are knowledgeable in what they're doing and what they're dealing with. The only thing I don't like about their equipment is that they don't have the software to adequately keep the equipment up to date. My only suggestion is that they update their system and cameras to be in a much better position.

Frontpoint has a great reputation, although their customer service is sometimes hard to get a hold of. I've had challenges with some of their motion sensors. I think some of their other equipment can be improved and that their price should be reduced.

The setup was easy because it uses the Verizon cell network, which is the company I have coverage with. The system has communication with the base station. Their customer service helps me everytime I call in. I love the piece of mind it gives me, but I wish they'd lower the monthly fee.

The cost and ease of installation is why I chose them. It is not connected to a hard wire. We don’t have to pay the perpetual monthly maintenance like we did with our last system. Customer service is pretty decent. I think it is a decent company though there a couple of things with the compatibility that would stop me from rating it the highest. I wouldn’t mind if they reached out periodically to tell me about possible new tools or features.

I like to be notified when the door is open and I also like that I can turn on the features that show that when I'm at home it has a different functioning than when I leave. My system worked relatively well. There are a couple of things that I don't like - the sensors aren't working exactly correct. They are always responsive and I think it's a good value for my money. I would like to hear from them more often- like to get more updates or information on anything that's new out there because I don't really get any communication from them.

Recently I've had a problems with the battery and I think there should be some type of indicator to let you know that the batteries are going low I like that its wireless. Whenever I have to call them, they call back right away. When the batteries are going low there should be some kind of indication and they should offer more equipment that links to the system.

You can do it yourself. Set it and forget it. You don't need a technician. It's more convenient for the everyday household. I haven't had a bad experience with customer service. Some of the sensors do not read 100% everytime a door opens or closes.

It's definitely a great company. I feel like they stand behind their wok and their product, which is awesome.

I like that they provide wireless equipment.

I really like what Frontpoint has to offer and how you can ala carte add additional things to your security system at any time. The only problems I have had is the alarm is sometimes disarmed in the morning even though I armed it and the adhesive for the door sensors fell off our basement door one night and set the alarm off at 3am. These don't happen very often, but I do wish they could be addressed. Overall I like the service I am provided.

Customer service and service of product is great. Account management needs help. Both my brother and I were constantly called for 3 months to pay a bill for the hub that was returned after our house caught on fire from a lightning strike. The representatives confirmed they received the hub for 2 months after verifying, however the phone calls and emails kept coming.

Overall I've been satisfied. What I like best is the customer service- speaking to a human is easily accessible whenever you need it, unlike some other less expensive services. The accessible customer service is why I chose them. They seem to have a policy for a representative to repeat back everything you say when calling in for support, gets a bit annoying. But overall I appreciate them being there when needed.
