Microsoft CA (AD CS) can manage certain certificate processes, but its broader lifecycle management capabilities are limited. Companies that require comprehensive Certificate Lifecycle Management should consider additional solutions such as MTG CLM.
A modern CLM provides several benefits, including:
- Web-based user self-services: Users can manage defined certificate processes themselves, reducing administrative effort.
- Flexible Certificate Policies: Certificate policies can be tailored to the specific requirements of the organization.
- Detailed configuration options: Roles and permissions can be precisely defined to support security and compliance requirements.
A modern CLM therefore helps companies manage certificate lifecycles more efficiently while improving the security and flexibility of their IT infrastructure.
