What do you like best about Keyfactor EJBCA®?

1. Customer Support has been my favorite part of using EJBCA. PKI implementation and maintenance is a daunting task in itself but Support is always there every step of the way when needed and all are knowledgable and experts.

2. Error messages are usually self-explanatory and easy to troubleshoot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keyfactor EJBCA®?

There needs to be notification from EJBCA when there's high database usage/exceeded limit. For example, few endpoints had over 10k active certs at a point and this was not flagged by EJBCA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Keyfactor EJBCA® solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used RADIUS prior to implementing EJBCA which is an outdated protocol. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Keyfactor EJBCA®?

Easy to integrate, rich of functionalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Keyfactor EJBCA®?

Release notes do not clarify what bug fixes are really about. since access to JIRA tickets had been blocked a good time ago and never restored since.

Also, KeyFactor seems not to follow very closely the evolution of CAB Forum Baseline Requirements, and this has led more than once to mis-issuances that could have been avoided if KeyFactor was more attentive and pro-active. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
