Affordable with the ability to store security certificates securely
Pros and Cons
  • "It allows me to run applications using these certificates without directly installing them."
  • "The platform's configuration process could be easier."

What is our primary use case?

The product integrates well with Azure Active Directory to manage identity or secret certificates.

What is most valuable?

Azure Key Vault's most valuable feature is its ability to store security certificates securely. It allows me to run applications using these certificates without directly installing them.

What needs improvement?

The platform's configuration process could be easier. Most of the new technologies involve certain prerequisites and complex setup processes.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Azure Key Vault for a long time.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the product's stability a nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The product's scaling process is complex for users who are not familiar with its concept. It is suitable for small to enterprise businesses. 

I rate the scalability an eight out of ten.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup process takes 15 minutes to complete for me as I have prior experience working with it. The non-proficient users need professional assistance. In most cases, they need to be notified about the necessity of authenticating the user ID and password.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The product has good pricing.

What other advice do I have?

I recommend Azure Key Vault to others and rate it a nine out of ten.
