SSL.com
Pros
- + List prices well below the enterprise CAs across DV, OV, EV, wildcard, and UCC/SAN
- + Complete validation range with strong warranties (up to $1,750,000 on Enterprise EV)
- + Automation-first: ACME protocol/API, certificate lifecycle management, unlimited reissues and server licences
- + eSigner cloud signing for EV code and document signing without hardware tokens
- + US-based 24/7 support, WebTrust audits, CA/Browser Forum voting member; free 90-day DV trial
Cons
- - Smaller brand recognition than DigiCert/GlobalSign with auditors and procurement
- - Limited one-click integration with some hosting panels — manual installation may be needed
- - Promo/multi-year pricing is hard to pin down without a written quote
- - Sprawling product catalogue (TLS, code signing, S/MIME, VMC, C2PA, Matter certs) can overwhelm simple buyers
- - EV validation inherently takes 1-5 business days; limited professional-services arm for complex PKI
Sectigo (Comodo)
Pros
- + Deep catalog: DV, OV and EV in single-domain, wildcard and multi-domain formats plus code signing
- + Aggressive reseller pricing — PositiveSSL DV from about $7.45/year, OV from about $30/year
- + 99.6% browser and device compatibility from a publicly trusted root
- + Unlimited server licenses, free reissues, 30-day money-back across the range
- + Mature reseller program and certificate lifecycle management tooling for volume buyers
Cons
- - Channel pricing is chaotic — the same certificate varies 3-5x between resellers and the official store
- - OV/EV validation routinely runs 1-5 business days once documentation is submitted, with recurring support complaints
- - Multi-year subscriptions are prepaid one-year certificates requiring annual reissue, which confuses buyers
- - Comodo-era budget brand perception trails DigiCert in enterprise procurement
- - DV-only use cases are undercut by free automated certificate authorities
