Automation has transformed certificate lifecycle tasks and saves significant operational time
Recently, every customer must have seen that AWS has added their feature or support for public CA signed certificates, allowing you to use AWS signed certificates for your applications hosted on the internet. Earlier that support was not there, and 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. Many customers have started moving to AWS provided public certificates. However, I do not see that AppViewX CERT+ currently supports AWS public CA for certificate integration and automation, which is something they can add. I believe their engineering team is already working on it, and I am still waiting for their update.

Centralized certificate management has reduced costs and supports open-source goals
EJBCA Enterprise is performing very well overall. However, one area for improvement could be the addition of a native dashboard capability within EJBCA Enterprise to facilitate reporting. Currently, I rely on Venafi for reporting or have created a custom dashboard by establishing a read replica from the actual database, which requires running ETL jobs to pull new data every day for analytics, causing some headaches. Having native dashboard features directly in EJBCA Enterprise would be beneficial. I think EJBCA Enterprise is good as it currently stands. They are doing very well, but perhaps future improvements related to AI could be beneficial, although I'm unsure of specifics at this moment.

"AppViewX CERT+ has positively impacted our organization by helping us significantly with certificate expirations."
"AppViewX CERT+ has positively impacted our organization by helping us to remediate many audits in a better manner."
"A notable feature is the extensive configuration possibilities regarding certificate templates and profiles, offering unparalleled flexibility compared to other PKI solutions on the market."

"EJBCA Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by improving security, reducing operational risk, and enhancing production reliability."
"EJBCA Enterprise scales very well; autoscaling is part of the cloud EC2 setup without vendor reliance."
"The best features EJBCA Enterprise offers are that it is very easy to install, especially with the appliance or OVA version we are using, it integrates easily with HSM, it is easy to monitor because it has a good GUI and website interface, and it is more secure than other competitors."
"EJBCA Enterprise stands out in terms of flexibility and scalability."

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."
"Another improvement area is the integration with automation, specifically simplifying the ACME services they offer to work without an agent."
"Customer support has been good; it's a mixed experience. For critical incidents, knowledgeable experts provide support, but for minor issues, my experience has been that inexperienced support agents may struggle."
"EJBCA Enterprise could be improved in terms of certificate lifecycle management and error handling in Keyfactor jobs, which sometimes throw unclear error codes."
"Customer support is good for regular questions, but when I require expert advice on high-skill questions, it can be challenging."
"I choose a rating of eight because EJBCA Enterprise console takes a lot of time to load and keeps buffering when I click on a certain link."
"I assigned a three rating because EJBCA Enterprise is a high-resource system, and there are instances where the CPU peaks for no apparent reason, making it difficult to investigate."
"I chose a seven or eight for my rating because, as I mentioned, the integrations should be much easier and the troubleshooting for certificate management needs improvement."
"The customer support for EJBCA Enterprise is good, and the overall turnaround time is fast."
"The user interface looked quite orthodox and could be improved a little bit."
