Why You Should Switch Your SSL Provider or Certificate Authority

Thinking of switching to another SSL Provider or Certificate Authority, here we will discuss a few factors that can ease the task of switching. This will help you in decision making. Not only pricing but we should also consider other factors before coming to a decision. Let us discuss few of them one by one in detail:

• Support & Service: 

If you are looking for the long-lasting relationship with SSL provider or Certificate Authority (CA), you should look for more than just cost. SSL Certificate provisioning requires the following things:

Order placed
Support and service in need (when required)
Renewal (when required)
Installation

• Features & Benefits:

Before considering any CA or SSL provider, take your own sweet time to think.The Good marketer will always try to fill his pocket in the name of additional features and benefits. Do not fall into their trap.Think wisely and answer a few questions before finalizing the deal:

Do you really need these offers?
Are these benefits (promised by SSL provider) useful (as per your business requirements)?
If you are offered extra features with some additional charge, check whether those features are essential for the long run of your business.

• Comprehensive Life cycle Management (CLM): CLM includes basically three things. These are:

Discovering
Taking inventories
Managing all SSL certificate across your network including cloud service

Next thing to be considered is easy and a seamless process of deployment and management of various SSL certificates. It will not only save your money but also time. Get a demo before finalizing. Check the tool or platform and look for answers to the following questions:

Whether it is exactly what has been promised.

Is it user-friendly?
Is it a time-efficient tool?
Are you the right person to understand and use this platform, or being trained?

• Product :

Costing: costing is one of the main factor which we can’t neglect.For example, if you choose cost over value, you might end up compromising with the security needs. This will not be considered a wise decision. It is important to understand the business requirements and needs. You should also keep in mind your near future requirements as well as the long-term goals of your company.

Conclusion:
If your current SSL provider is not fulfilling all your business needs and you do not see the longevity of this partnership, then it’s the right time to switch. On searching for new CA or SSL provider, there should be certain things kept in your mind. These are cost & value, features & benefits, support & service, CLM, and compatibility. If you get satisfactory answers to your questions, then you need to switch your SSL provider or Certificate Authority.
