DigiCert PKI Platform vs Venafi comparison

"The most valuable feature is the communication based on PKI certificates."

"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."

"We use Venafi for PKI certificates."

"The most valuable feature of Venafi is the automation that helps save time and reduce human error."

"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."

"Automating anything, whether on-prem or cloud, is possible."

"Venafi's automation capabilities were significant, as they allowed us to automate certificate rotation and deployment effectively."

"The feature that I have found most valuable is their certificate discovery."

"We have reduced 80% to 90% of our outages with Venafi, which impacts the revenue substantially."

"The most valuable feature of Venafi is that it provides a seamless user interface and integrations."

"From an automation perspective, PKI is a bit of a debatable topic and can be improved as time demands."

"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 seeks 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. Us, being a partner of DigiSet, relies on their implementer for support in service deployment, installation, and resolution of any issues that may arise."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I would give it a seven out of ten for stability because I reported a bug after an update. We faced one issue. Overall, stability is good, though there are some bugs and crashes."

"I would like to see included in the next release of Venafi integration with the cloud HSM's, Hardware Security Module. Additionally, I would say other cloud services, because it's not only cloud that's essential. If you have a customer that has a lot of their IT moved into cloud, integration with different cloud services is always an area to improve."

"Venafi could enhance its offerings by providing more automation features."

"We have not faced any kind of disadvantage regarding Venafi, but they could improve on the bugs, as sometimes the system gets stuck."

"I would rate it seven for the price."

"This solution won't cost much, as this would be free with the licensing from Microsoft."

"Venafi's pricing appears to be competitive within the market."

"I feel that it's fairly priced compared to other solutions we evaluated, such as IBM, SailPoint, and KiteServer. It is fairly priced and offers good value."

"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."
