Certificate Authority Service by Google Cloud vs. ManageEngine Key Manager Plus

The tool is really good for the enterprise having major exposure to public-facing web applications and this can be used to maintain the SSL Certificate Inventory and automated alerts can be set so that SSL Certificates can be renewed before the expiry. Organizations who don't have the visibility of the SSL Certificate deployed across various and then tool can be used to identify the certificates and inventory can be prepared. This tool must be handled by Information Security Team since the private key information is confidential in nature. This tool has the capability to extract the information from various cloud instances including Azure, GCP, and AWS. I will not recommend this tool for organizations that don't have many public-facing apps and for 8 to 10 apps this can be managed manually rather than purchasing this tool.

Overall good product. The solution was able to meet our business case. It is not an expensive product as compared to other key vault solutions. Implementation is an easy and user-friendly console. We got the training on how to use the solution after it was deployed. It is widely used by many organizations. With this solution, we managed to create a centralized SSL Certificates Inventory and other details which were very difficult to extract using the manual search.

Technical Support is good and available 24/7. Licensing Policy is also good and we have taken a yearly subscription model. Integration with Digi Cert is also possible.
