We use ManageEngine Key Manager plus to manage our SSL Certificates. We have SSL Certificates deployed in more than 50 Plus Web Applications and manually maintaining the renewals of each SSL certificate was a difficult task and there was no visibility that the SSL is deployed in which web apps since we are large financial services having 6 big companies and network is very complex in nature having presence in on-prem and in multi-cloud environments. We were maintaining SSL Certificate information in excel sheet and we had issues in renewing the SSL Certificates as the process got delayed as we did not have an alert mechanism to tell us the expiry date of the SSL Certificate and many times we were at risk of not renewing before expiry. Currently, we had deployed 2 instances (On Cloud and on Prem Setup).
- SSL Certificate Discover Feature.
- User Friendly Dashboard.
- Automated Alerts to tell about expiry of the Certificate.
- Different User Profiles can be configured.
- Various Reports available to download.
- Stable Product.
Cons
- False Positives Issues (Sometimes getting alerts for certificates that are already renewed).
- Alerting Emails can be improved.
- Audit Trail need to be improved.
- No Business Impact as SSL Certificates renewed on time.
- Centralized Control over the SSL Certificate Exposure in the environment.
- Security of Private Keys.
- Able to discover hidden SSL Certificates.
