Pros
"AWS Secrets Manager is used for storing secret information that has to be a secret from your customer and your employees.""The most valuable feature of AWS Secrets Manager is the ability to keep data secret and assign access permissions to people to grant or restrict access.""The solution is very scalable.""The most valuable feature of AWS Secrets Manager is its seamless integration with various AWS services.""The API is fine and works well.""The most valuable feature is the management of credentials.""The most valuable feature is usability, as it is quite user-friendly.""The product is easy to use and is inexpensive."

More AWS Secrets Manager Pros →

"Having all the passwords in one place is helpful.""In our organization, we use Bitwarden for managing product credentials. Bitwarden's collection feature enables us to securely create and store credentials, and we can easily provide team members with access to the relevant collections.""It is open source and the premium package is reasonable.""I've found something else that is extremely valuable. Bitwarden refers to it as "emergency access". It's essentially a digital legacy where you can assign approved users who can request access. If you don't decline within a certain timeframe, they can access it in case you're incapacitated or deceased. When I last checked, only a few services offered this feature. Bitwarden had the simplest and best implementation.""Its integration capabilities and versatility, like the ability to securely save passwords and other critical information, make it incredibly useful.""The product has a very friendly community."

Cons
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model.""If you don't have enterprise support, then you will not be able to get through to them to get the help. It is not only applicable to AWS Secrets Manager. It is also applicable to any service on AWS.""An area for improvement in AWS Secrets Manager could be expanding integration options beyond AWS services.""The price of the solution could improve.""There is room for improvement in terms of integrating with certain other platforms.""We occasionally have problems with rate limits, although that is a problem more generally with AWS.""The sidecar feature has room for improvement.""There is a need for better environmental implementation, such as having a security fund as a solution."

"It would be ideal if the application could be seamlessly integrated into our open-source software, especially for the purpose of enabling straightforward logging.""The solution should be made more secure as it has the banking sector and assets saved.""The product could be cheaper.""The product must be a bit more unified and refined.""Enhancing the tool by including additional security variables would be a valuable improvement.""I often use another password manager as well to keep my passwords separate, ensuring redundancy. But one simple thing Bitwarden could improve is providing an option to duplicate credentials. Often, you're creating many sets of credentials for the same thing. If they all have the same information, notes, login, collection, and naming - all you're changing is the password. The ability to duplicate credential records quickly would be a big win. It doesn't do that right now."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I don't believe there is a license cost for the solution."
  • "We've observed that AWS Secrets Manager pricing is based on a per-secret-per-month model. As a result, we prefer to divide our secrets into individual pieces to increase security and grant specific access permissions to certain secrets, systems, or individuals. However, this approach results in higher costs. Therefore, we have been exploring ways to combine our secrets into groups to reduce expenses and simplify management. Nonetheless, we acknowledge that this issue may not be related to the secret manager's functionality."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "We purchase a monthly license for the product."
  • "The cost is somewhat high."

  • "The solution is reasonably priced."
  • "In our region, it comes at an affordable price."
  • "It is an open-source tool."
