Eva Kimathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved certificate lifecycle management while offering reliable security and insightful monitoring features
DigiCert has been changing many things frequently, and they could improve communication about those changes. It can be complex, and if you're not using it daily, you might miss changes or not understand them, especially if you interact with it only towards the end of a billing cycle. They could improve how they move clients from the legacy setup to the new setup. Red Hat handles this better by giving options to try new features and communicating a cutoff period for legacy system retirement. As an NGO, we need extensive documentation around expenditure. It would be useful to get proforma invoices because we need those approved before making any purchase. DigiCert previously offered this when requesting renewal, resulting in an intermediate invoice instead of just a cart purchase system. This feature matched our internal processes and made purchases easier. Currently, they use an e-commerce mode, which can be difficult for bureaucratic organizations. The pricing for DigiCert CertCentral rates about a three. It has a learning curve, especially considering its evolution to DigiCert CertCentral. It's improving but isn't quite intuitive yet. Making mistakes can be costly if you're not owning the business.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is easy to generate, easy to use, easy to integrate, and very cost-effective."
"It offers encryption with specific algorithms for better management."
"The solution has an import dashboard where we can import the certificates or create new certificates."
"The most valuable features are definitely the alerts."
"This automation is very useful and is my favorite feature on DigiCert CertCentral."
 

Cons

"One potential improvement could be enabling the extraction of the certificate as a file to be used outside of AWS, even with an additional charge."
"The AWS Certificate Manager's technical support team is sometimes unavailable."
"Currently, there is no option to customize beyond the default settings, and it would be beneficial to have the ability to customize certificates to fit specific requirements."
"Maybe more integration with third-party certificate authorities would be useful."
"The technical support is somewhat challenging. They've automated many interactions, making it difficult to get technical support."

Overview

AWS Certificate Manager is a service that lets you easily provision, manage, and deploy public and private Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) certificates for use with AWS services and your internal connected resources. SSL/TLS certificates are used to secure network communications and establish the identity of websites over the Internet as well as resources on private networks. AWS Certificate Manager removes the time-consuming manual process of purchasing, uploading, and renewing SSL/TLS certificates.

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

CertCentral Enterprise is a robust addition to the DigiCert TLS platform, which offers award-winning customer support, innovative and scalable infrastructure, leading certificate products such as Secure Site, and time-saving discovery and automation tools.
