Fantastic price, Friendly service and a Good overall system. But the proof is in the pudding!
Overall, every person i've spoken to from the Verisure team so far has provided exceptional service.
I have to say, i was very dubious about the service Verisure were offering to start with. Everything seemed too good to be true. The price for the system? Way less than any other competitor had quoted me. I have an old Secom alarm system, and to upgrade it with ADT? £1,600 and that wouldn't even provide a similar level of service! A new system from Verisure? £500. I'm sure you can guess where i told ADT so shove it.
Kieron was my installer, he came equipped to show me all the parts of the system and reviewed my home suggesting the best places to put the equipment. His assessment was thorough and professional. Kieron even went the extra mile in getting my quote reduced for me and obtaining an extra remote for my mother to use (thanks to Kieron's boss too for offering this), it was a really nice gesture to see that Verisure cared about the security and welfare of my family as much as i did.
Kieron was also my installer and was assisted by the installer trainer - Chris. Chris was also fantastic. After the system was installed, he ensured Kieron had set the system up correctly. after the system was live and in testing, he ensured that we knew exactly how to use the system. What i really appreciated was his encouragement for us to take a video while he demonstrated how to use the system. This has come in handy many times as a reference point! Really appreciate the service from both Kieron and Chris and hope they do get the message passed on.
A few weeks after my installation I got a call from Verisure, for a second, i thought my alarm had been triggered, but Fahad was quick to let me know there was nothing to worry about and this was just a follow up call after my installation and would only be a few minutes if it was a suitable time for me. Fahad was great on the call, he was courteous and professional and was ready to help with any questions i had. In reality, i probably took up more of his time on this call than he thought he'd spend on it! Fahad was quick to explain all the options on my system, put my mind to ease with the issues i'd been having with the system and the reason for the low picture quality on the mobile device. Fahad explained that for speed, their HQ got the higher res images while the mobile app only got lower res images. Fahad said he'd checked the photos that had been taken from a previous triggering of my alarm system and everything looked good on the screen. I should have asked him to send a photo to my email but in the moment, i didn't think of it! Fahad explained when these issues would be fixed and i'm really grateful for the fantastic customer service he's provided.
Overall the customer service from Verisure has been fantastic. I don't know whether Verisure has a strict interview/recruitment process but every one of their employees i've interacted with has been highly professional. Overall i think the system and service is fantastic.
I'll eagerly be awaiting the mobile notifications and better picture quality in the mobile app which i've been told should be delivered in early year and mid next year respectively!
Update: feb 2019.
Still a big fan of Verisure. But got to dock a star on the rating. While it’s moatly a good system, there’s some Pepsi t features I feel they’ve not thought through. The SOS on the fob reader is the biggest one. I bought this system for safety and security. So if my mother opens the door and someone tries to barge in (happened to friends) she could hit the SOS on the fob reader. In reality, it’s apparently not this simple. Instead, you have to press the 2 buttons for the SOS and also wave the key fob on the reader. This seems like a pretty serious design flaw to me ... “it’s an emergency, let me just hit SOS and wave my key fob... ohh too late they’ve already barged me past my reader..”
Come on Verisure! Expect a little more here...
