Francois Gotti - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Infrastructure Engineer at IQEQ
Automation has streamlined certificate workflows and reduced human errors significantly
We have discussed with them the need for better integration with APIs, including specific definitions and business cases. We would benefit from templates for specific APIs that need to connect with external vendors or integrate directly with our backend. This feature is currently in their development pipeline. Another improvement area is the integration with automation, specifically simplifying the ACME services they offer to work without an agent. Currently, every backend machine requires an agent for ACME services. 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.

Tailored to the lifecycle management needs of banks
The customer finds value in adopting a platform from Jira, particularly for the ease it brings to their processes, both for on-premises operations and batch processing. Their objective is to create a new customized server specifically designed for generating certificates. This server is intended for the generation of certificates, emphasizing that it is not meant for free domain replacement. The platform of choice for this purpose is Digital One, a product that offers full customization and aligns well with the customer's preference for tailored solutions. The process of certificate issuance from Microsoft's AB involves renewal or replacement every five years. However, an issue arises in that this particular certificate requires renewal annually instead of the standard five-year cycle. The challenge is attributed to personnel changes, where an administrator responsible for the process resigns within the five-year period. To address this, we seek an automated solution that operates seamlessly with a single sign-on approach, eliminating the need for user IDs or passwords. The automation involves approval and subsequent deployment without complexities. Being a partner of DigiSet, we rely on the implementer for support in service deployment, installation, and resolution of any issues that may arise.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"AppViewX CERT+ has positively impacted our organization by helping us to remediate many audits in a better manner."

"AppViewX CERT+ is one of the great tools based on my usage over the last three years, and it is going to definitely increase your team's operational efficiency, and you should consider this product for evaluation."
"I emphasize the importance of automation in Wi-Fi management, particularly in tasks such as certificate renewal. The requirement extends to the ability to generate new certificates from a local server within the data center. There is a need to establish a new server for local certificate issuance and highlights the desire for automation in the deployment process. The emphasis lies in leveraging automated solutions to streamline these operations effectively."
"The public key infrastructure certificates issued by the PKI servers helped me set up good client-server authentic communications."
"The most valuable feature is the communication based on PKI certificates."
 

Cons

"Currently we are having a couple of issues with the solution and those resolutions are being very slow, so that could be improved."
"However, I do not see that AppViewX CERT+ currently supports AWS public CA for certificate integration and automation, which is something they can add."
"From an automation perspective, PKI is a bit of a debatable topic and can be improved as time demands."
