Ensures dynamic secret retrieval and automates security measures
AWS Secrets Manager is a fully managed service that allows our applications to retrieve secrets dynamically at runtime. This protects sensitive information, such as keys or credentials, from being compromised. It also automates the secrets, eliminating the need for manual rotation, thereby providing significant security and efficiency benefits. Furthermore, secrets are encrypted at rest using the AES 256-bit standard encryption algorithm.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of AWS Secrets Manager is its seamless integration with various AWS services."
"It's highly scalable, so I'd rate it a ten out of ten."
"The API is fine and works well."
"I would highly recommend AWS Secrets Manager for secret management in AWS."
"The product is easy to use and is inexpensive."
"All our workloads are running on AWS, so integration with our workload is much easier on AWS Secrets Manager than going with another solution such as Thycotic."
"AWS Secrets Manager is used for storing secret information that has to be a secret from your customer and your employees."
"Integrating with other services was straightforward, especially within the AWS environment."
"Can create folders for specific types of information (i.e., work, personal, and school)."
"Stronger passwords are being used across the board in our organization."
"​The installation and its use are very simple​."
"It is very easy to install and setup."
"It has a double authentication factor increasing the security level."
"It is very easy to use, intuitive, and cost effective."
"The ability to autofill the login credentials has saved me a lot of time in my day to day computing."
"What I like the most is the fact that I can just mark anything and it is automatically copied into the clipboard."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"We occasionally have problems with rate limits, although that is a problem more generally with AWS."
"There is a potential improvement in connecting AWS Secrets Manager to Jenkins CI/CD pipeline to automatically reflect changes in production."
"There is room for improvement in terms of integrating with certain other platforms."
"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 good if the AWS Secrets Manager were more customizable."
"An area for improvement in AWS Secrets Manager could be expanding integration options beyond AWS services."
"Maybe a sort of category organizer to help with organizing passwords for different things, such as banking, medical, shopping, and school."
"They could possibly add a pre-designed contact feature that would work similar to a cell phone contact feature."
"Needs to improve KeeperFill on iOS."
"The organization of items needs improvement. For example, when I log onto the cloud version as well, everything is shown on my folder. It is hard to differentiate between files and documents in my list of items I have stored inside."
"The stability of the solution can be improved."
"Rearranging folders via drag/drop functionality would be very helpful."
"I would love it if you didn't have to re-authenticate when you start up a new browser."
"The password rotation feature could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We purchase a monthly license for the product."
"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."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"I don't believe there is a license cost for the solution."
"Its price is reasonable."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
"It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
"Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
