The price is nice, but what makes it a must have for me is the ability to generate a cert with 100 domains on it and have it validated by hitting the server.
The "old" way required all customers/domain owners to either give us control of their domain or to answer an email every time we needed to get a new cert. Now we've automated moving around domains between certs and generate new ones as needed. Validation by email to 100 different people is like herding cats. Validation that happens in an automated way - priceless.

- twothamendment 9y agoWith our setup, certificates are handled by Amazon elastic load balancers. A single ELB with a cert for 100 domains using SAN is easier to manage than 100 certs on a few servers using SNI. I'm not saying you should design this way from the start, but this is what we grew into and SAN works for us. I only wish the limit of 100 per cert was higher.
