AWS Certificate Manager vs. DigiCert CertCentral

I would always recommend AWS Certificate Manager for anyone using AWS cloud services. The perfect scenario would be with your domain managed by AWS Route 53 as you can obtain auto renewal of certificates with really good security for all your public facing application that uses CloudFront, ALB or API Gateway.

DigiCert is perfect for single application use where you need extra verification/validation for secure web interface.

• Issue, Renew and Validate SSL Certificates.
• Allows us to integrate it with other AWS Services.

• Secure web verification

• Sometimes ACM certificates don't work with ELB.
• No automatic alert on certificate expiration.

• It would be nice to not have to renew every 90 days.

AWS historically has had very confusing interfaces. But in recent times they have improved them. AWS Certificate Manager is a clear sample of this. The interface is clear and straightforward, with no useless or cryptic options. Really I can't think of a way the interface could be better with the actual options available.

They do a great job.

Easy to implement within a few clicks, or even from command line, the alternatives doesn't integrate that easy with AWS Application Load Balancers or AWS CloudFront

There doesn't seem to be a big difference between the two, but DigiCert seems to be/look a bit more professional.

• We're saving our spent on SSL certificates As it dosen't costs at all.
• Limited to AWS only, Certificates issued by ACM can be used with AWS managed services only.
• It doesn't support automatic domain verification with other DNS management systems.

• DigiCert lets me rest assured my website is securely encrypted which is one load off my mind.
