Adam Goldstein - PeerSpot reviewer
Automates certificate management across platforms and has enhanced integration support
Certificate Manager excels in automating certificate rotation and deployment but could enhance its offering by improving support for hardware security modules like Fortanix and providing more advanced, out-of-the-box integrations with public certificate authorities for DNS re-verification. Currently, the yearly DNS verification required by certificate authorities necessitates manual intervention, hindering full automation. This limitation, however, is not unique to Certificate Manager, as most tools lack the API integration necessary to automate the verification process with certificate authorities. Until such integration is achieved, the added security layer of domain verification will continue to pose a challenge for fully automated public certificate management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Venafi is super stable, and we experienced no issues with its stability."
"We have reduced 80% to 90% of our outages with Venafi, which impacts the revenue substantially."
"We use Venafi for PKI certificates."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is their certificate discovery."
"Venafi's technical support is impressively fast."
"The most valuable feature of Venafi is the automation that helps save time and reduce human error."
"CyberArk Certificate Manager has excellent capability in handling certification renewals; whenever you specify any validity period that needs to be renewed within certain days, it triggers automatically, and I appreciate that aspect."
"CyberArk Certificate Manager has impacted our reduction of certificate-related downtime primarily through the auto-rotation feature, as it alerts us when our certificate is going to expire, allowing us to rotate it before expiration, which avoids potential disruptions in services."
"The solution has high support capability."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that they are open to connecting with any token. For example, a year ago, we were looking for a soft token, and we started to look for alternatives. They are open to connecting with any token that we looking for."
 

Cons

"Currently lacks the capability to automatically download certificates in JKS."
"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."
"An area for improvement in CyberArk Certificate Manager is that it currently does not provide an email alert. I have to log in to my dashboard and check it."
"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."
"Currently, specific processes require manual installations due to the lack of built-in integrations."
"There are quite a few different technical aspects of Venafi that I feel they just missed out on; I'd have to look at my notes for the specifics."
"Venafi excels in automating certificate rotation and deployment but could enhance its offering by improving support for hardware security modules like Fortanix and providing more advanced, out-of-the-box integrations with public certificate authorities for DNS re-verification."
"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."
"The tool needs to improve its cloud capability."
"The user interface is not quite good and easy to use. There are a lot of menus, and the look and feel is not modern like a modern app."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Venafi's pricing appears to be competitive within the market."
"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."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten. The tool's licensing is monthly."
