In this article, we will discuss a few factors that can ease the task of switching. This will help you in decision making. Not only pricing but we should also consider other factors before coming to a decision. Let us discuss few of them one by one in detail:

1. Value of the Product: One of the main factors that help in decision making is costing, which we can’t neglect. But it is not an adequate reason for choosing SSL provider. Value of the product is also as important as its costing. For example, if you choose cost over value, you might end up compromising with the security needs. This will not be considered a wise decision. It is important to understand the business requirements and needs. You should also keep in mind your near future requirements as well as the long-term goals of your company. The Value that you should consider while searching for a new SSL provider are:

The Certificate features

Benefits provided

Service level

Customer support?

2. Features & Benefits:Every SSL provider will lure you with various benefits and features in order to sell their product. Be smart, choose wisely and evaluate offers given by different providers. Keeping value in mind, go through all the offers and choose the one that fulfills the needs of your business. These offers could be:

Additional value-added service (free of cost)

Automatic renewal of SSL certificate

Unlimited Service licenses

3. Support & Service: If you are looking for the long-lasting relationship with SSL provider or Certificate Authority (CA), you should look for more than just cost. SSL Certificate provisioning requires the following things:

Order placed

Support and service in need (when required)

Renewal (when required)

Installation

4. Comprehensive Lifecycle Management (CLM): CLM includes basically three things. These are:

Discovering

Taking inventories

Managing all SSL certificate across your network including cloud service

5.Compatibility: While switching, it is important to look for a trusted SSL provider or CA. Major Browsers (Chrome, Mozilla Firefox) have joined their hands and made a list of trusted CA. Certificates issued by these CAs are compatible with almost all the browsers and devices. On choosing a new CA, few things you should ask them before finalizing are:

How long they have been running as a CA or SSL provider?

About browsers and devices, and what are their certificates are compatible with
