They sure know how to convince people to buy their services and then break their promises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In May 2019 I had a problem with one of the websites hosted on my server and I was directed to Sitelock as the host provider believed there was a security breach. The Sitelock agent convinced me to secure all the websites (10) under my server and confirmed that I’m able to change the domains at any time (since I have clients that come and go).
It took them around 2 months to fix the initial problem I had. While they kept blaming third party factors, it was clear that the same website still had infected files as I could see them in file manager and they sent an email to apologize and clean the website again.
A few months later, one of my clients decided to move on, so I moved that complete website to another server. I thought the Sitelock scanners would detect something unusual. When I logged in to my Sitelock dashboard, everything looked good, with all green check marks. The website isn’t even hosted there anymore….I wonder, what are they monitoring exactly??
At that point, I decided to submit a ticket in my Sitelock account to change that particular domain. Didn’t hear back at all. A week later I sent the same message again. Still no response. I was then advised to contact them by phone. When I did, I was told that to make account changes like that, I had to speak with the Billing team, but they only work certain hours, so I left them a voice message. A few days later they finally called back and I was advised that they won’t change the domain because it’s too close to the end of my subscription cycle, which is still 2 months away!! The agent (Mr. Tyrell Foard) said he would speak to the manager, and he did, but came back with the same response, that they won’t change the domain for me, like they promised at the start of the agreement.
I raised my concern that I moved some of the websites under my account, but that the dashboard shows everything is good, the agent said he understood my frustration, but there is nothing they can do.
In the end, I feel I never got the professional service I was looking for, nor did I get the customer service I was expecting, and certainly I wasn’t expecting broken promises.
Do NOT waste your time or money with them. I am currently seeking legal advice over this agreement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
