Azure Key Vault Reviews

Azure Key Vault is used to store the encrypted keys. It can be used from the application side or the device side.

The centralized storage and secure storage are features we like. We don't find many effective solutions where we can securely store the encryption keys. So that is essentially, that is what we appreciate.

Many times, the first round of support itself will fail, and they will bring some more competent people in the subsequent support. By then, we will lose some good amount of time. The technical support needs improvement.

The use of Azure Key Vault is vital to the security of our organization. Here we store our credentials, secrets, tokens, connection strings, and any other information needed to access external services and cloud providers. This service is essential to ensure a high level of security for our company.

The most valuable feature of the solution is the search for secrets feature that we use to store our passwords and connection strings. I also like objects such as keys and certificates.

Azure Key Vault is simpler to use compared to other certificate or password managers such as HashiCorp Vault and ManageEngine Password Manager Pro.

We can currently configure RBAC, Azure role-based access control, or a voucher access policy. The voucher access policy can be improved by configuring it based on groups, rather than just applications or users.
