Amanda was efficient and very thorough. She asked as many questions as necessary to get to the bottom of the issue I was experiencing with my VPN.

Excellent Customer Service - Always

Whenever it 'seems' I am having a connection problem (sometimes I am), the wonderful support team responds quickly with steps to take to rectify the issue.

Customer service has always been an important factor for a business & nowadays it is vital.

Once you get used to having VS VPN, you feel uneasy if you need to get online w/o it due to some connection issue.

VS VPN gives you peace of mind in this crazy world.

Problem resolved quickly

After I activated a 'ticket', it took a while for anyone to get back to me. However, once I received a response, the problem was resolved the same day. The Account Manager, Tom, was extremely helpful. He asked pertinent questions and resolved the problem promptly. I have used Virtual Shield for several years without a problem. I did not want to use any other VPN. Thanks for your help!

Upgrade Satisfaction

I just finished an upgrade to my existing plan. Pearl, the virtual assistant, was super helpful and answered all I needed to know to move forward with my upgrade. VS, you have a satisfied customer, and I am thankful having found your service via Dave Hodges (The Common Sense Show), Doug Hagmann (Intel Report), Mike Adams (Health Ranger) to name a few. Kudos to you all for the service you provide. Cheers!

Long-time user sends GRATITUDE!

I've been with Virtual Shield over five years, and what I must absolutely say is that its BEST FEATURE is not just its Tech Support (Tom from Level Two is THE BOMB!!!) but its TELEPHONIC Tech Support, which is EXTRAORDINARY!!!

A confirmed Luddite/ technomoron, there is nothing on Earth more comforting than having an IT GENIUS on the phone, not merely addressing and correcting a problem, but putting a frazzled, frustrated enduser into complete CALM with his phenomenally-comforting, soothing, upbeat, amazingly kind and patient delivery.

To watch this man work after he's taken control of my PC is cause for wonder and awe: never have I
received such assistance from a tech provider, and certainly never from previous VPN providers!

THANK YOU, Virtual Shield for having the MOST AMAZING Tech Angels and for offering TELEPHONIC support!!!

Just. Plain. WOW!!!

VirtualShield support and service

I've been using VirtualShield for over a year. Any issues I've had have been quickly and efficiently resolved by the support staff, especially Tom. The friendly and quick service I've received is what sets companies apart from others, and is one of the keys to success for all businesses. As far as the VPN, I feel confident and protected wherever I go.

What made me give V/S a rating of 5 has very little to do with the product

What made me give V/S a rating of 5 has very little to do with the product, but a certain individual I deal with whenever I encounter problems with this product.
He's knowledgeable about the field & product, respectful in every way & is truely customer orienated.
As for the product, I would give it a rating of 2.5.
