Strong privileged access controls have protected critical sessions and improved credential oversight
The best features of CyberArk Certificate Manager include its robust privileged access management capability, session monitoring, and strong defense against threat vectors. PSM, PIM, and application legacy connectivity for CyberArk Certificate Manager are probably the best in the market. The real-time threat intelligence feature helps with preventing security breaches as it never allows any privileged access to get into the application until you check out the user ID and password, effectively managing credentials. It also includes MFA and session monitoring, tracking who is checking out the password and credentials, which are capabilities that cannot be bypassed, thus neutralizing threat protection. I use features like PSM, PIM, session monitoring, and everything else with CyberArk Certificate Manager.

Good authentication options, but the setup can be complex and the user interface should be improved
Many of the users with licenses are not getting their IPs all of the time. It seems that the licenses are not active on the user end. There are multiple errors. At times, when the user is trying to scan and activate the license, it comes up with an error code. The user interface could be improved. The setup could be simplified. The mobile app that is available for Digipass does not scan the QR code to activate the license. Users would like to see more functions and creation options for the user base and the UI console. They are not getting all of the features that are available on the UI Console. The features are the same but they are not able to configure them.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Venafi is the automation that helps save time and reduce human error."
"CyberArk Certificate Manager has impacted our organization positively by making our life much easier by automatically updating and deploying certificates so our sites load correctly and we save a lot of time."
"We use Venafi for PKI certificates."
"The support is definitely great. What I like best about Venafi is that it's very easy to get somebody on a call and get any of my questions answered. That's probably the biggest thing. Besides the fact that it's a mature product and it works, the support is a big deal."
"Certificate Manager has reduced the certificate expiration outages to almost nil, and since 2022, we have had almost zero major incidents wherein we saw a financial impact or business disruption due to an expired certificate."
"The best feature I appreciate about Venafi is its user interface, which allows me to search for any particular certificate and immediately see the certificate details and expiry."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is their certificate discovery."
"Automating anything, whether on-prem or cloud, is possible."
"OneSpan Digipass is very useful, easy to use and work with."
 

Cons

"There's definitely lots of room for improvement with Venafi. They have a website where we can suggest new features, and they need to take that a little bit more seriously."
"The on-prem version is far more mature than the cloud version, which lacks a lot of features that the on-prem version offers, at least when we did the POC and evaluated the product."
"Regarding stability, I observed that in the last year, CyberArk Certificate Manager was down two to three times without any notification."
"The product was really good when it was a Venafi product. However, since its acquisition by CyberArk, there has been a lack of significant innovations. They are pushing for cloud adoption, but we prefer on-premises solutions due to regulatory concerns."
"In terms of scalability, given that we were in the situation where it was on-prem, there were certain limitations there."
"For the stability of the solution itself, I would rate it a seven."
"In terms of areas for improvement, one thing that we did not appreciate about Certificate Manager was having agents on everything."
"Venafi's overall installation could be made easier."
"At times, when the user is trying to scan and activate the license, it comes up with an error code."
"Many of the users with licenses are not getting their IPs all of the time. It seems that the licenses are not active on the user end."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model is complex, considering factors beyond the number of certificates. This complexity can make our payments to Venafi challenging if costs continue to rise. It is good but more expensive than the competitors."
"Venafi's pricing appears to be competitive within the market."
