OpenSSL

What do you like best?

I have been using OpenSSL for years and it is a very simple and efficient tool. What I like the most is that it is totally free software. Another feature that I like is that its installation is very simple and there is extensive documentation on the use and creation of certificates.

What do you dislike?

Sometimes OpenSSL is installed integrated with programs like Cygwin and the software has trouble finding its configuration file, so it is necessary to set its variables before trying to generate any certificate.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

OpenSSL is the most reliable and easy to use security certificate creation solution you will find. It is free software available for different operating systems. I recommend it.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We use OpenSSL to create and renew the security certificates requested by our payment gateway provider, so that our website allows our customers to make purchases safely. It is a really efficient and simple tool. Another benefit is that it has a very large community of users, which publishes a lot of content about solutions to problems that they have had when generating certificates.
