Vivint Review, Continued

Vivint maintained a decent TrustPilot TrustScore of 4.0, and the average of 23,206 customer reviews is a pltry 4.01, which places them in the lower half of contestants. Their app was more respectable, ranking 5th and 4th on the App Store and Google Play, respectively.

Vivint is mighty force in home security, but they still have too large a proportion of angry customers.

What’s the significance of the TrustPilot TrustScore? We write more about how and why we use it in our methodology here, but in a nutshell, we can’t find another system for collecting and verifying customer reviews with a system as clear and reliable as TrustPilot’s. In fact, TrustPilot removed over 2.2 million fake reviews from their platform in 2020 alone. They’ve bet their business on quality, authentic reviews.

Vivint Customer Reviews

23,206 customer reviews is a significant number. Combining that volume with TrustPilot’s commitment to weeding out fraudulent reviews, we can look at them with considerable confidence.

This is how those reviews are broken down:

5 Star Home Security Review

61.5% 5 Stars

14,264 out of 23,206 Reviews

4 Star Home Security Review

11.3% 4 Stars

2,625 out of 23,206 Reviews

3 Star Home Security Review

7.6% 3 Stars

1,770 out of 23,206 Reviews

2 Star Home Security Reviews

5.4% 2 Stars

1,264 out of 23,206 Reviews

1 Star Home Security Reviews

14.1% 1 Star

3,283 out of 23,206 Reviews

Projecting those reviews forward, one could expect a 1-in-5 possibility of having a “Poor” or “Bad” experience with Vivint. If a customer can get past that, they are likely to appreciate the app.
