    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.

    You can back up many local keys in Microsoft Azure Key Vault, easy to set up permission. It helps your information protection task. Integration with local systems is also possible with some solutions. If you are using old systems, you may not get the full benefit of Microsoft Azure Key Vault. But I recommend to try it.

    Cons
    Amazon AWS
    • It doesn't support automatic domain verification with other domain name services.
    • Limited to AWS only, Certificates issued by ACM can be used with AWS managed services only.
    • If you are having multi-region infrastructure then you'll need to issue an SSL certificate for a domain in each region.

    Usability
    Amazon AWS
    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.

    It is easy to use. The cost of this service is quite low, so don't worry about it. It is very easy to use because you can store keys in a variety of ways. It would be very nice to have the ability to automatically remind the person in charge of the key expiration date.

    How to use Microsoft Azure Key Vault is available in Micrsoft tech net or various internet tech sites. If you have a question, you can use support from pages in Azure. Onece you request, you will get call or e-mail from Microsoft. Public information referrals and service bugs will be handled free of charge

    Amazon AWS
    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
