Sr.Devops engineer at Scaler
Centralized secret management has improved multi-cloud security and automated key rotation
I sometimes feel that there are documentation gaps in Akeyless Secrets Management. The documentation could be more detailed for advanced integrations and troubleshooting. Some organizations feel that there is a trust concern because the secrets are stored in Akeyless Secrets Management and it is not open-sourced. It is completely closed-source. If something goes wrong or someone hacks Akeyless Secrets Management, there is a huge drawback. These are concerns my organization and many other organizations are facing. The UI/UX could be better on the homepage and many other pages. Pricing transparency should also be improved. The pricing should include discounted pricing for regular customers or regular enterprise customers.

Security posture management has provided clear SaaS and AI agent risk visibility and alerts
I am not using the inclusion of LLMs in the knowledge graph yet; to be honest, I see that it's showing things, but until now, I don't see big value on that. Apart from the integration with Copilot Studio that I mentioned, I would like to see more posture security controls added in some SaaS applications; I see a few of them, but it could have more. I would like to see real-time detection in prompts included to Reco in the next releases, maybe in Copilot Studio to see if I have any attack or prompt injection or whatever in Copilot Studio and all the agent platforms to inspect those prompts.
