Featured Reviews

Aditya Sasmal - PeerSpot reviewer
Data Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Centralized secrets have improved risk control but governance and documentation still need work
Akeyless Secrets Management can be improved by focusing on strategic areas of product enhancements to elevate it from a robust operational tool to a frictionless enterprise standard product. Development must prioritize maturity in release governance, user interface intuitiveness, and developer documentation. Addressing these areas will directly reduce friction and accelerate enterprise-wide adoption. More documentation should be included in the governance and quality assurance aspects because properly organized documents create a significant impact on the product. Akeyless Secrets Management could improve its zero-knowledge cryptography capabilities, as the documentation is still lacking. The use of distributed fragments cryptography can be enhanced by splitting encryption key fragments between Valmet's local gateways and Akeyless Secrets Management cloud. This would ensure that the cloud providers maintain mathematically inaccessible telemetry to third parties, presenting a significant improvement in zero-knowledge cryptography.
Giovanni Perini - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud Specialist at Perini Beheer
Have increased security by regenerating credentials after each use and gained confidence through session oversight
We do not specifically use the password vaulting feature of CyberArk Identity. The centralized user dashboard of CyberArk Identity has not been that important for us. If it would be possible to share accounts between vaults in CyberArk Identity, that would be very beneficial. Account sharing between vaults is one of the most important aspects for us. It was pretty complex to implement CyberArk Identity. We had some help from a partner, and that helped a lot. But even for the partner, it was really difficult to streamline the process of implementing. We had sometimes an issue that really took days during the implementation to fix. That was something that I did not appreciate about the whole implementation. It should be much more straightforward, specifically because you're doing a SaaS implementation. I rate it a seven because vendor support is difficult to get. Basically, you have to go through a partner to get support with CyberArk Identity. That's another thing that they could improve.
