Is a Certificate Server a better deal?
Purchasing a certificate server software is only the beginning of a very involved process. Administrators need to: purchase hardware to run the software on; learn how to set-up and use the software; learn how to administer and backup the certificate database; and maintain the system over time. This can easily cost more than OnSite Lite during the first year when the hardware and software costs are added to the value of the time spent on the required tasks. With OnSite Lite, all you do is sign up, and we take care of the rest. You decide who you want to issue certificates to, while we manage the database, administer the server, backup the system daily, and perform all the other overhead work that comes with operating a high availability certificate service.
