I really like the browser extension that is offered through this site. With ease, there are little symbols that appear next to Google results letting you know whether the site is reputable according to SiteJabber. Also, reviewing things on SiteJabber is fun, simple, and can really make you kind of popular;)

All-around super fun site to spend some time helping out others. How many websites can YOU review?

How many people take the time to go to SiteJabber to give 5 stars? I didn't, I went here to check out if the online stores I want to use are legitimate. Thank you.So glad to find this site and hope it will grow and prosper.
Note to all those who review online businesses: If you LOVE an online store, explain the details of your transaction(s). To be credible, readers want to know 1.) what you purchased - details if color / size / quality matter 2.) how often you have done business with them 3.) Your personal experience with any communication - ESPECIALLY if it's great.
I'm looking forward to reading all HELPFUL reviews!
Thanks for your feedback. :)

I shop mostly on line so I always check site jabber for reviews. It's helped me not to order from companies who don't have a good reputation. Usually if the product is from a different country there appears to be problems.

Nice site to have!
May 30, 2016

You see interesting things about web sites all over the internet, even site jabber. I have read bad reviews about sit jabber, just like I have read bad reviews about other sites.

I like site jabber they have not forced me to pay for any review I post. Where as the sites and the owners of those sites post bad reviews about site jabber to make their sites look good. There's nothing like laughing at the brain washers to make them even angry than they all ready are. They get mad at you for not buying their products, bullying you until they do. If you buy one thing and haven't in a long time they charge your cards for no reason at all. I'm complaining again when I shouldn't be. This was suppose to be a positive review.

This site speaks for itself, just like the other sites do! Nice job site jabber!

Sitejabber.com is among the best of the best in what it does. It allows users to create reviews on websites they have made purchases from or interacted with in some way. Its fun and maybe even a little addictive especially with the points and badges reward system they have. On top of it all your actually providing a real review that others can use to help them make up there minds. Great service with a little fun, try it out.

WOW - Powerful
April 25, 2016

I had been back and forth with a company I finally got frustrated and posted a review and within 24 hours the company contacted me and said they would offer me a refund AND would I be willing to change my review. The review o n SiteJabber was what got them to give me a refund after going back and forth with them for weeks!
LOVE sitejabber

Fake Reviews
April 15, 2016

I can see that this siteJabber of a thing is a huge scam. I have seen good companies I have had good business relationship with recieve tons of bad reviews. Themeforest.net is an example. This is a huge problem. I think the people that write reviews here are paid to write it may be by competing companies just to tanish another companies image. Please everybody should stay out. These reviews are not authentic.

Hi Chukwuelok, thanks for your review. SiteJabber takes fake reviews very seriously. All businesses can confirm reviewers are in fact customers by reaching out via private message. If themeforest.net is your business you can do this at https://biz.sitejabber.com/dashboard/themeforest.net?register=1
Please let us know if you have any questions at [email protected] thank you!

In 2016, Site Jabber still requires you to create yet another marginal website account... for writing reviews! The only SSO they support is Facebook but many people don't want to use it and they give no option to support the world's largest active SSO: Google!

Bring Google SSO! It's nearly 2017 - users shouldn't be required to create marginal accounts to massage your ego! Do your part to make the web the more secure.

Hi Ananya, thanks so much for your thoughtful review. You're absolutely right we should support Google login credentials; it is currently on our development list, but I've let our development team know it has been requested, and we'll be sure to let you know as soon as it is available. Thank you!

I enjoy reading reviews on SiteJabber, but agree with other reviewers that many of the legitimate reviews on this site tend to lean on the negative side of the spectrum. I do not think that is necessarily SiteJabber's fault as, logically, someone is far more likely to post a negative experience than a positive one on a site designed to help online consumers avoid scams. That said, when I had a negative experience with a company and they were not responding to me in a satisfactory manner, I left a fair, unemotional review on SiteJabber and the company responded to the review with a resolution. Without SiteJabber, I am not confident that would have occurred (at least, not as quickly). It is unfortunate that some companies would not properly react to customer service issues on their own, but this site has helped to police them and I greatly appreciate that.

With SiteJabber's capabilities around issue resolution aside, I am concerned with the volume of fake reviews I have noticed for several companies. I have seen other sites take action against these reviewers that were likely "hired" and paid in order to get the company's rating up. Most of these reviews are completely obvious where I flagged them in order to report it. I would be curious what their overall strategy is to ensure the integrity of reviews on this site and to prevent these companies from falsifying information.

Overall, SiteJabber is a great and useful site that I will continue to use.

The concept of SiteJabber is great. People get to come here and tell people about their good and bad experiences with websites, and help keep others away from scams. Sometimes people are right, but a lot of the time people are wrong. This site ATTRACTS people who are angry, who leave "drive-by" reviews, or people who have only had one interaction with a site. I've seen many people posting false information about sites, which can be quickly debunked and which I always try to debunk in my reviews if I'm making a review of that site. This site needs a better filtering system to keep scammers out and to remove reviews that are in the wrong place.
