A secure solution that needs to improve JumpCloud integration
The tool's most valuable feature is security.  We faced issues while integrating 1Password into JumpCloud.  I have been using the product for more than two years.  1Password is stable.  My company has 200 users for the product.  The tool's deployment is easy.  The tool's pricing is not too…

Secret storage and certificate management have been streamlined
I am not on the developer's end. I am primarily the main infrastructure person. I'm not sure what needs improvement. Sometimes, we face issues that the support team is not aware of, necessitating investigation from their end. For example, one of our certificates was not getting deployed, and during that time, the support team was unsure and had to connect with the back-end team for assistance. Improvements can be made in this area, however, it's understandable that not everything can be perfect.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"1Password is very secure for storing all my passwords, keys, and secrets for work."
"The most valuable feature of 1Password is the one that automatically generates a password and MFA for me when I try to enter them, instead of going and hardcoding it."
"The solution's most valuable features are its password management security and cloud firewall."
"The tool's most valuable feature is security."
"1Password helps to generate unique passwords that you do not need to remember."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Key Vault is the secret storage of data."
"The solution uses the encryption technique to store the secret information data that uses EPCE. There is also one feature that monitors Azure Key Vault."
"Its customer service is excellent."
"I find the simplicity of key management to be the most valuable feature. Key management has always been a difficult function to do, especially in the cloud premises. Azure Key Vault provides you with a mechanism for managing keys, without having to worry about protecting secrets is valuable."
"With Azure Key Vault, we can generate our own keys and then import them inside the system, which provides a higher level of security than provider-managed keys."
"Stability is very good."
"AI has been introduced to Azure."
"The GUI was quite easy for me to use."
 

Cons

"1Password should check and alert me if my information, such as my password or email address, has been sold on the internet."
"We faced issues while integrating 1Password into JumpCloud."
"I would improve the search engine of 1Password to make it clearer or less confusing."
"Sometimes it fails to appear automatically, and you have to call it manually."
"The service could be improved incrementally to enhance programmatic access to the vault."
"The voucher access policy can be improved by configuring it based on groups, rather than just applications or users."
"Sometimes, we face issues that the support team is not aware of, necessitating investigation from their end."
"The platform's configuration process could be easier."
"While the solution already does a great job of managing keys, the solution could probably look at maybe expanding more into mobile devices and endpoints."
"I would suggest making the user interface a bit more friendly."
"Many times, the first round of support itself will fail, and they will bring some more competent people in the subsequent support. So it gets into a hierarchical mode. By then, we will lose a good amount of time. The technical support needs improvement."
"The skill level of the support staff is also questionable."
"The slow response from the support team is one of the shortcomings of the solution that needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is not too cheap or expensive."
"Users have to pay around five euros per year for the solution."
"The cost of the Azure Key Vault is very high and the pricing model is based on the number of keys that you store and retrieve."
"Azure is cheaper than CyberArk... CyberArk is good, but it's quite expensive."
"The pricing is decent. It has a pretty low price. It is a straightforward cost based on usage."
"The price of the solution is reasonable for what we are using it for."
"Currently, the solution's pricing is based on the number of transactions, which is very high in some cases."
"It is a cheap option."
"The product is affordable, in my opinion."
"There are no extra costs beyond the standard fees, beyond maybe data transfer charges. It's $0.025 per 10,000 data transactions, so it is quite cheap."
