Atul-Yadav - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Mahesh Subramanian - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps with password management and sharing
The tool's setup was easy and we have deployed it on the cloud. The deployment was quick and we completed it in less than a week. We have two teams one in the US and another in India. We first implemented Keeper in the US, got feedback, and then implemented it in India. The overall deployment took about four months to complete.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is very scalable."
"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."
"Integrating with other services was straightforward, especially within the AWS environment."
"The most valuable feature is usability, as it is quite user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is security."
"It's highly scalable, so I'd rate it a ten out of ten."
"AWS Secrets Manager is used for storing secret information that has to be a secret from your customer and your employees."
"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."
"The generator of complex passwords keeps me safe from being hacked."
"I like Keeper's mobility and its accessibility."
"Can create folders for specific types of information (i.e., work, personal, and school)."
"It is nice to be able to use my Touch ID and have access to all my passwords in one place."
"The chat support is quick. I have never encountered any problems. On the contrary, they have been very helpful and kind."
"It has a secure password generator that incorporates random creation tools and good security practices, which allows for an easy, quick, organized update and sharing with a work team."
"The possibility of assigning information to different groups and individuals has been the most valuable."

Cons

"There is room for improvement in terms of integrating with certain other platforms."
"An area for improvement in AWS Secrets Manager could be expanding integration options beyond AWS services."
"There is a potential improvement in connecting AWS Secrets Manager to Jenkins CI/CD pipeline to automatically reflect changes in production."
"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."
"There is a need for better environmental implementation, such as having a security fund as a solution."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"We occasionally have problems with rate limits, although that is a problem more generally with AWS."
"Maybe a sort of category organizer to help with organizing passwords for different things, such as banking, medical, shopping, and school."
"I would add a category for personal documents or photos of ID cards."
"The technical support has no experience."
"Search functions are sometimes weird."
"I would love it if you didn't have to re-authenticate when you start up a new browser."
"Needs to improve KeeperFill on iOS."
"The stability of the solution can be improved."
"The user experience and the mobile app could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We purchase a monthly license for the product."
"I don't believe there is a license cost for the solution."
"The solution is expensive."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"Its price is reasonable."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
"It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
