"The Best Free CA"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Letsencrypt?

The possibility it gives to any web page, mail server, ftp... to encrypt the traffic that is sent and received through said service in an easy, fast, and simple way. Additionally, if you have a business or an online web page, you can provide much more reliability to customers as you demonstrate to them that the page is secure.

"SSL For All"

5/5

What do you like best about Letsencrypt?

Let’s Encrypt is very easy to implement (its more or less a one-click implementation via our host Siteground). For anyone concerned about Google’s ‘not secure’ tagging that’s just rolled out, this is a perfect solution. Best of all, it’s absolutely free, meaning you don’t have to spend hundreds on an SSL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Letsencrypt?

There’s nothing to dislike with Let’s Encrypt. As a free service, it’s exceptional and comes highly recommended. I've used it in previous jobs too and always recommend using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Letsencrypt solving and how is that benefiting you?

As mentioned above, with Google’s ‘not-secure’ tagging, this makes it simple and free to avoid the tag. If you need a lower level encryption to secure your site, this is the way to go and will help you to cut your costs. We currently use it to secure our sites that have contact forms on them, so I cant say how well it holds up for transactions etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Free SSL Certificates"

5/5

What do you like best about Letsencrypt?

Its very easy to install and use, in their website they have a lot of documentation, and a autoinstall script.

We use a plesk panel and it has a built in app to get letsencrypt certficates and is almost instantly.

It is very handy and yyou can use the certificate to various things as HTTPS or FTPS etc... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Letsencrypt?

I really dont have anything bad to say about this service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Letsencrypt:

If you need to protect your website and your online services you should try this service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Letsencrypt solving and how is that benefiting you?

It secures the connection between the customers and us on our website and that gives more reliability to customers if they need to make some type of payments on the website or input some of their personal data.

Also we secure our ftp and mail with the certificate issued by them and we are protected against MITM attacks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
