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."

"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."

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

"Venafi is super stable, and we experienced no issues with its stability."

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

"It's definitely worth the money to have Venafi as a tool; it's definitely miles away from the competition, in my opinion."

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

"The most important feature for us is the ease of use. If something is not available, we can develop our own scripts for it. We can create change management around this tool."

"We use Venafi for PKI certificates."

"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."

"Currently, specific processes require manual installations due to the lack of built-in integrations."

"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."

"Currently lacks the capability to automatically download certificates in JKS."

"Venafi's overall installation could be made easier."

"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 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."

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

"I would rate it seven for the price."

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

"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."
