(Original )Information
What do you like best about Keyfactor Command?

Complete visibility into my PKI environment to include an inventory of my CA's; monitoring of the CRLs and OCSP; workflows to manage the lifecycle of certificates from issuance to expiration. End-user management of the certificates via custom cert collections; automation via REST; ganualar RBAC controls; CA gateway to my public certificate provider(Sectigo) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keyfactor Command?

Configuration of some components such as the CA gateway is achieved via JSON config files. This method is prone to errors. As a mature product, I would prefer to use a UI for as many as the configurations as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Keyfactor Command:

With the aggressive release cycle, I recommend maintaining a Dev instance with versioning to vet the features before prod deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keyfactor Command solving and how is that benefiting you?

Benefits include providing a common portal for the requesting of certificates regardless of the client platform.

Visibility into the health of my ADCS deployment.

Certificate life cycle monitoring via automated expiration alerts.

API support of 3rd party public CA, Sectigo, in my case.

Key Archival and retrieval are much easier than using the native ADCS method.

End-user management of certificates via collections

Lessening the exposure of my ADCS CA's to direct interface ny my end-users. All cert operations from an end-user perspective are accomplished via the Command portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
