Manage Engine KEY MANAGER PLUS: Automates discovery, renewal, and deployment of keys and certificates.

ManageEngine Key Manager Plus is a secure encryption key and certificate lifecycle management solution designed to help organizations protect their cryptographic keys and digital certificates across hybrid IT environments. In today’s security-first world, encryption is essential—but managing keys and certificates manually is a recipe for outages, expired certificates, and compliance headaches.

What Is ManageEngine Key Manager Plus?

Key Manager Plus centralizes and automates the entire lifecycle of keys and certificates—generation, discovery, renewal, rotation, storage, and audit—so IT teams can enforce strong cryptographic hygiene without manual toil.

The platform provides a secure vault for storing keys and certificates, complete with role-based access control (RBAC), audit trails, and granular permissions. Whether managing SSL/TLS certificates for web servers, private keys for secure communication, SSH keys for system access, or keys used by applications and APIs, Key Manager Plus ensures they are tracked, secured, and renewed before expiry. It helps close a common security gap that often goes overlooked: poor key and certificate management leading to outages or breaches.

With support for on-premises and cloud environments, automatic discovery of certificates across networks, and policy-driven automation, Key Manager Plus gives security and operations teams the confidence that their most critical cryptographic assets are protected, compliant, and aligned with industry best practices.

ManageEngine Key Manager Plus Pricing

ManageEngine Key Manager Plus pricing typically depends on several factors

  • Number of managed devices or key/certificate instances
  • Deployment model (on-premises or cloud)
  • Level of support and maintenance required

Pricing is generally structured as a subscription license, though perpetual options may be available through authorized partners. Because key and certificate environments vary widely—from small business servers to complex enterprise landscapes—customized quotes are usually provided based on the number of keys and certificates an organization needs to manage.

Organizations often begin with a free trial to evaluate how the platform performs in their environment before moving to a paid plan. Higher tier plans often include advanced automation, integrative reporting, and priority support.

Because certificate expiry can cause service disruption and outages, many organizations find Key Manager Plus pays for itself quickly through reduced downtime and compliance risk.
