Pros
"Scalable and stable.""I like how the solution allows me to support different types of hardware tokens and integrate with OTP.""The most valuable feature of SafeNet Authentication Manager is authentication.""We use this solution to log into virtual machines like VMware and VMware Horizon."

More Thales Authenticators Pros →

"We use Venafi for PKI certificates.""Automating anything, whether on-prem or cloud, is possible.""The feature that I have found most valuable is their certificate discovery."

Cons
"The problem with SafeNet is that it's not integrated with Microsoft 365.""Lacks integration with other platforms.""The solution should allow for support of multi-tenant architecture.""The stability could improve."

More Thales Authenticators Cons →

"Currently lacks the capability to automatically download certificates in JKS.""I would like to see included in the next release of Venafi integration with the cloud HSM's, Hardware Security Module. Additionally, I would say other cloud services, because it's not only cloud that's essential. If you have a customer that has a lot of their IT moved into cloud, integration with different cloud services is always an area to improve.""Venafi's overall installation could be made easier."
