"I got kicked off my LTD I had with BidID's acquired company!!"
1/5
What do you like best about BigID?

Illow used to be an ok cookie banner. I didn't use it much. Now I cannot use it any longer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigID?

I purchased a LTD on Appsumo for Illow (cookie banner and policy SAAS) in September 2023. BigID took over that company and decided not to honor the LTDs they had with many customers. My account got deleted, I cannot even login on the new platform. Very bad! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I really liked it!"

The cost is a bit high to be honest and the platform is a bit slow at times. I've used other similar apps before, but this was the one I was most happy about. I didn't get to chat with their customers support team so far! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
