This is a managed SaaS solution, not self-hosted software like the ones listed. We're more akin to one of the certificate management products in cloud providers, but our target users are not security experts with prior PKI/X.509 deployment experience. We're building anchor for developers who want or need TLS/HTTPS, but don't want the headache & toil of manually setting up & running an internal CA and the extra infra that goes with it.
