A time when I needed to make changes or adjustments and how AppViewX CERT+ handled it smoothly was when we needed to create flows for internal people so they could request certificates by themselves.
This improvement will become crucial in the next two years when public certificates must be reduced from one year to 47 days, which presents a significant challenge for us.
When we compare the cost of the AWS provided certificates with other vendors, they are very much cheaper, almost 20% to 25% of the costs of others.
On the support side, having local support in our case will be much better, to have someone that helps us solve issues faster.

The best feature I appreciate is that AppViewX CERT+ supports different endpoints where the application or certificates need to be updated, such as Windows, Linux, different firewall vendors, cloud platforms such as Akamai and Salesforce, and load balancers such as F5 and Citrix.
With AppViewX CERT+, we receive expiration notifications in advance, so the process of certificate expiration is now much more reliable.
All secrets are in the Key Vault, and access is managed by the integrated management in ITT, which Azure provides to the services.
It also helps me increase my security posture and assists with regulatory and compliance requirements.
Since implementing Azure Key Vault, I have observed that instead of storing plain values, we can store them securely as and when required.
