Purpose-built CLM without the module maze.
AppViewX CERT+ sits inside a broader automation platform, which is powerful but complex to adopt. TigerTrust is a focused certificate lifecycle platform — one product, one price, one onboarding flow.
A tool your team actually wants to use.
AppViewX is a legitimate enterprise platform with real breadth. Teams switch when the breadth becomes a tax on the specific job of managing certificates.
What changes when the platform stays focused.
- Module-based licensing that requires vendor-led sizing exercises
- Extensive training required before teams are productive
- Professional-services attach for what should be self-service setup
- Complex configuration surface inherited from the broader automation platform
- Annual contracts required, opaque uplift at renewal
- Single platform price, all lifecycle features included
- New users productive within hours of first login
- Self-service onboarding for the standard path; architect calls for the edges
- Purpose-built configuration model — certificates first, always
- Monthly or annual billing, published tiers
Capability comparison, head to head.
AppViewX has genuine enterprise breadth. Here is where the offerings align and where the delivery differs.
| Capability | TigerTrust | AppViewX CERT+ |
|---|---|---|
Certificate discovery (network, cloud, K8s) AppViewX has solid discovery coverage in enterprise estates | ||
Multi-CA orchestration | ||
Kubernetes cert-manager integration | ||
ACME protocol issuance | ||
Cloud-native SaaS delivery AppViewX offers SaaS but hybrid deployment is common in practice | ||
GraphQL API | ||
Self-service onboarding without services engagement | ||
All lifecycle features in one price tier | ||
Broader network automation platform If you also need firewall / ADC automation, AppViewX bundles those |
Moving off AppViewX, group by group.
Keep AppViewX authoritative until each certificate group is proven on TigerTrust.
Inventory import
Export CERT+ inventory (API or CSV). Owners, policies, and CA bindings mirror into TigerTrust with source references preserved.
Reconnect CAs and endpoints
Point TigerTrust at the same CAs and deployment targets AppViewX uses. No re-issuance required for existing certificates.
Parallel run
New workloads onboard to TigerTrust; existing ones stay on CERT+ until scheduled for cutover. Group-by-group rollback documented.
Retire CERT+
Once one full renewal cycle runs cleanly on TigerTrust, retire CERT+ and reclaim the licence spend.
Frequently asked questions
Do we lose anything by leaving the broader AppViewX platform?
If you use AppViewX purely for certificates, no — TigerTrust covers the CLM scope. If you also depend on AppViewX for firewall or application delivery automation, those are separate products in AppViewX and you can keep them while replacing CERT+ specifically.
How does the module pricing compare?
TigerTrust ships one platform price with all lifecycle features included — discovery, renewal, deployment, reporting, multi-CA, ACME, cert-manager, SSH. We deliberately do not quote a competitor number; AppViewX contracts vary by module attach and discount. Ask us for a side-by-side against your current line items.
How long does migration take?
For most teams: two to six weeks of parallel run, then a per-group cutover over the next renewal cycle. Larger estates with many custom workflows take longer, but nothing about the migration requires a big-bang cutover.
Can TigerTrust be deployed on-premise?
Yes. TigerTrust supports fully-managed SaaS, single-tenant hosted, and self-managed / air-gapped on-premise. The same feature set is available across all three.
What about our existing CERT+ workflows and approval chains?
Standard workflow patterns (multi-approver, policy gates, ITSM integration) map cleanly to TigerTrust primitives. For genuinely custom logic, our API and webhook surface handles the same patterns without a platform-specific workflow builder.
Replaced AppViewX CERT+ and every module attach with a single platform price.
“CERT+ was capable, but every new capability meant another module and another sizing exercise. TigerTrust ships as one product with everything on.”
