Pros

I've started using KeyChest years ago to keep track of my SSL certificates on my server. KeyChest is easy to setup and maintain and will inform you quickly if any certificates are expired or expiring soon. It also automatically detects any SAN domains you might have and adds them to the tracking. Only reason I'm not actively using KeyChest anymore is because my monitoring software offers the same functionality. They offer a great API and the best feature: It's free for many use cases.

Cons

The website is sometimes loading a bit slow.

Love the functionality. Will keep using the product even though we are not high volume users.

Pros

The ability to warn us when certs are due for renewal.

Cons

the main site seems slow at times but that's not a huge problems because we use the facility quarterly at he moment.

Overall, KeyChest has not lived up to expectations. The goal was to coordinate renewal requirements into one dashboard, and provide extra visibility into failures to renew LetsEncrypt certs. In practice KeyChest has not been reliable enough to achieve this goal. Additionally, KeyChest suffered a significant data loss issue with insufficient backup to recover properly, which further damaged my confidence in the service.

Pros

Email notifications when certificates were due to expire.

Cons

Very unreliable at tracking certificate expiry - expiry warnings for certificates I had already replaced, and no expiry warning for a certificate due for renewal, have both been common problems.

Response from Vendor

January 27, 2020

Thank you for this review. It reflects the KeyChest evolution since its conception. KeyChest has started as a pet project back in 2017 and the data loss in December 2017 (our announcement after the incident - https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/if-you-use-keychest-major-incident-made-us-realize-how-it-grew/47448) was the point when we decided to turn it into a serious service. We have re-designed the service in 2018 and made significant progress during 2019 to improve the reliability and accuracy that had suffered from an unreliable hosting provider (Jan-Mar 2019) as well as the initial simplistic implementation of KeyChest audits.

Pros

Excellent tool for keeping an eye on certificates for a domain. Get to know when they are about to expire or when a new one pops up.

Cons

Sometimes a bit sluggish as a web app. Not enough to be a problem, but enough to notice

Pros

It's free, easy to use, and always reliable on notifications for when my SSL is going to expire.

Cons

Honestly it's probably self-inflicted by using different project emails for different accounts and then it just became a little messy to keep organized.
