“Very good experience”

Philip C.
4/10/15

I've been an iYogi customer ever since Dell refused to extend services on my desktop computer nearly 10 years ago. I never regretted that decision. Throughout the years, iYogi support is always available every time I had a problem, whether it was a computer virus, or a Windows upgrade, or a disk crash. Moreover, I don't think any tech support service in the U.S. can and will ever match iYogi's pricing. The 24/7 service at iYogi is provided by college trained computer science majors, and software engineers. They are truly professionals. I hope iYogi will remain as a customer-oriented independent company, and not get swallowed up by a big company only interested in squeezing more money out of their customers and their own staff. Good job, iYogi, and good luck!

“Between my husband and myself we spent 10 hours in...”

8/6/10

Between my husband and myself we spent 10 hours in front on the computer in one day. BEWARE! Don't waste your time. We went 5 full days without internet access or removal of our viruses. 3 return phone calls with an appointment also to no avail. This is a rip off. Also be informed that is you have Shield Deluxe, change your antivirus software. This is the company that recommends iyogi.

Why haven't you refunded my money yet? It's been over 2 months... too many lawsuits? What hope, if any, is there on getting resolution to the myriad of issues with this company? Is the U.S. Attorney General taking any action to shut down this money thieving sorry excuse for tech service? This is will be my third web site filing a complaint and the next step is filing with my state's AG. I can't believe they STILL post a Better Business Bureau accreditation symbol on their web site. Talk about FALSE advertising!

This company is a disgrace. I have been trying for 6 months to obtain a partial refund due to cancelling my membership with them. So far no luck. Im just fobbed off all the time and lied to. Please don't touch them.

Wasted money. Takes forever (IF then) to understand and find the problem. They do lie about things you need to buy and on tighter questioning it becomes clear. Don't fall for this company's claims. They may have started out as a legitimate and efficient company, but something changed and they have caused me more problems than I had to begin with. I want to delete their programs (including the MCAfee virus program they sold me) but I'm AFRAID there may be some code in there that will create a huge problem. I am already getting blackouts and just today had a fatal error, but I just restarted it and it is now okay. Then I ran my Cleaner that came on my computer and hopefully that will keep me going for now.

I first connected with iYogi in a panic that my new laptop had stopped working properly. The techs were helpful, knowledgeable and fixed it on the first call. Very relieved to have found iYogi and their customer services is always excellent.

Not being a computer geek, I have found iYogi to be invaluable in maintaining and keeping my computer running at maximum efficiency. They are easily available online or by phone at my convenience. Though they are based in India, language has not been a problem since most of the communication is online and not subject to accent. Pricing seems reasonable, and there are no hidden charges.
My only complaint, the reason for 4 rather that 5 stars, is that they often try to sell additional services during service calls. They are by no means insistent, but I personally find it aggravating.

I have been with iYogi for about 5 or 6 years. Although I have not had the need to call very often, when I do, I get excellent support. All of their technicians are professional, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable.

Iyogi has protected my computers for 10 years or more. With their link right on one's computer, they respond within minutes, and always quickly corrected any problem I had, They even resolved problems which were nothing more than my lack of knowledge on running various programs. Compare that with my experience with what may be the well known computer support team I somehow got trapped into even though I already had Iyogi. I thought, "well I will try them" and did so Three times. Each time was three to five hours before they contacted me, and not one of those times did they correct the problem. At least one of those times, I analyzed how to correct it, and did so myself after they signed off. I simply could not possibly be in business if it were not for Iyogi, and with them I can work securely 16 hours a day, with only an occasional problem for them to correct. Thank you Iyogi. J. W. Smith.

LIke many others, I thought I was talking to HP luckily figured it out. My bank gave me back my money. Sold me an extended warranty. According to the REAL HP, there was no record of me buying a warranty. If I had been duped and let them touch my computer, it would have invalidated my warranty. You guys SUCK posing as HP! See other reviews where they pose as Apple, etc. F. U. IYogi.

Tip for consumers:
DON'T USE IT! Make sure you are calling HP or APPLE or whatever you are calling. They post their phone number on the web as HP.

IYogi gave me very special service. I am not a computer junkie/nerd and the technician realized that early in our conversation and made all adjustments for my ignorance and incompetence. He solved my problems—which were substantial as I had been shut out of much of my computer/internet usage—and I have had no problems since.

I would recommend iYogi to anyone, including the real pros.

Iyogi is going down the drain very quickly. It is a sinking ship...

In 2014 and 2015 they failed to pay there employees on times resulting in departure of there support and sales staff. As of January 1st 2016 most employees have not been paid for last 2 -3 months so employees are refusing to login or not coming to work at all.

As a result iYogi is forcing there trainers and sales staff to take tech support calls now and you wonder why support sucks. These people have no experience in tech support so they are doing best they can with no training.

I would be highly surprised if this company survives 2 months from now.

Save your money and looks for alternate solution.

PS. I know all this because I know someone who works there.

Their closing words are, "Good Karma" and that is what I have had since I subscribed to iYogi in 2009. Without exception, they have solved every problem I have had for six years, and some of them have been very challenging. I depend on iYogi to provide, install, and configure all my software and updates, including security protection. Their technicians are competent, polite, patient, and (best of all!) only one click away on my Support Dock at any time, day or night. "Delicious!"

Used this service for 2 years. Just OK- always wanting to sell more products. Have received at least 3 calls a week for over 2 months advising they are either not compatible with Windows or they are no longer supplying product and must refund money. They wanted to get bank information - no way. I have removed program from computer but they still call and say they must gain access to computer to clean up computer so it operates properly and to increase security. I told them to send me a refund check. They can't /won't do that and will not apply a credit to a credit card. Computer works fine without their program.

IYogi says it will help remotely solve PC problems, and charges $139/month. I had to try 3 times (with 3 different people) to get their remote access to work. Then 1.5 hours of my time later, and speaking with 4 different people (each of whom needed my account #, security question, email address and home ph#), the problem was still unresolved. And it was just a printer issue. Plus I got disconnected during one of the calls, and the technician did not call back--despite having confirmed my email and phone # at the start of the call.

My experience with iYogi has been wonderful. When ever a problem has come up they were there to get it fixed in no time at all. There has never been a long wait to talk with their techs. They are all very pleasant and helpful. I would strongly recommend this to everyone thats looking for an anti virus protection.

It is helpful to have techs that can be called up at a moment's notice to fix what's ailing your computer. They kept my old Dell in pretty good shape for several years until I bought a new Dell a week ago. But they do more than just fix. Not being a whiz on computer, if I need to do something that I'm not sure how to accomplish, they are there to help in that regard as well. They are very helpful and courteous too.

I have been a member for close to 5 years and have had excellent results with any problem's that I have had. It is difficult at times to understand the person with whom I am talking with. Two reasons
1. Foreign dialect
2. Speaks to rapidly
Both can usually be corrected by my requesting to slow down the conversation which will help me understand.

My experience with iyogi was as I expected. Every time I have a panic moment with my (lifeline) laptop, iyogi comes to the rescue. Professional, knowledgeable, polite technicians always make you feel at ease and remain calm and courteous throughout the whole experience regardless of how long it takes to solve the problem. I tip my hat to the iyogi staff, specially the technical geniuses! When ever my laptop gets an attitude, all I do is contact iyogi... and problems are solved!

I depend everyday on my computer so I have little time to wait for down time to become up and running time. IYogi support has truly been a life saver for my computer since March 19,2011 and more recently for all three of my computers. IYogi's quick response time, along with their knowledgeable, skillful and friendly techs have answered simple questions and / or quickly tuned my computer many times. Thank you iYogi for the peace of mind you have provided to me with your technical services which has kept my computer "up and running".

The technicians at IYogi are unfailingly patient and polite, even with those of us who do not know how to touch type. They have solved my computer problems without fail from viruses to linking up my ROKU to my computer. I recommend them highly for anyone like me who does not know how to fix any computer problems at all, or how to install anything.
Congratulations on a job well done!

I have found IYogi to be very helpful to me. Most techs are more helpful than others, working hard to resolve the problem. Some of them are way too pushy when it comes to trying to sell me more services, and I have at one time had a problem with one tech forcing me to renew my contract before he would help me even though I still had several months left on the current contract. But later when I complained, a supervisor talked to me and compensated me by giving me extra months on my contract. It is extremely important that Iyogi be available to help at all times as they advertise. Several months ago during an urgent problem with my computer, I could not get a tech -- instead a woman came on the phone and gave me incorrect information and could not resolve the problem. She told me they were trying to handle a great many calls at that time and a more qualified tech would be available later. This only happened once. Overall, I am pleased with the service and thankful it is there for me.

I have been with IYOGI for about 6 years. I have called them with questions and problems of all sorts from a blank black screen to things I could not get off the screen. They have helped me compile mailing lists, add attachments, find lost mail, Sometimes a question could be answered in one word and sometimes I had messed up so bad it took a few hours for the technicians to figure it out. I have never had them give up before solving a problem.

I have been very pleased with iYogi service. They are very knowledgeable. Occasionally there has been a little difficulty communicating, but when I tell them I am having trouble understanding, they get some else who speaks English clearer. Or they communicate via chat. I do prefer to speak in person.

If I have any complaint... it is that they try to sell something to me every time I call for service. That becomes a little irritating to me. It is near impossible to say NO.

I would and have recommended them to friends. But I do not know if they have called or chose to use iYogi,

Excellent service. It keeps my computer on its toes. Though I am somewhat hard of hearing I have had no trouble conversing with any of the several technicians who have been in contact with me. I certainly plan to continue using IYogi and recommend it to my friends.
