Consistent security and efficiency improvements optimize IT infrastructure with effective management
When creating AWS Secrets Manager, it should be automated using tools such as Terraform, Puppet, or Ansible. With Terraform code, you specify the encryption key, secret name, rotation policy, and secret replication. Human error occurs when feeding secret values manually, especially with large amounts of secrets to input. Secrets should never be protected only by IAM. They should be protected by multiple layers, such as IAM and one or two KMS keys. Additional security measures could be beneficial if necessary. The rotation policy is crucial because some secrets may become obsolete, require updates, or get compromised. With a weekly rotation policy, if unauthorized access occurs, the exposure is limited to seven days. The rotation policy can be customized according to needs.

Password manager has strengthened daily device security and has simplified secure sharing
While Keeper Enterprise Password Manager has a good interface for password management, I believe they can make the feature for Privileged Access Management a bit more user-friendly, as right now it is somewhat complicated to get a privileged access manager running in both development and production environments. Regarding improvements needed for the deployment of Keeper Enterprise Password Manager, I would like to see a simple way to install requirements on servers so they can easily be accessed through it and use Privileged Access Management. Right now the installation is somewhat complex as there is scripting to be done. It would be great for that setup to be more simple for operators.

"Auto login across platforms allows for no copying and pasting."
"I use Keeper every day, all day long for personal and business use to store and remember more than 100 passwords for the various websites I work on and manage."
"Support is very quick to respond, and they have fixed any issues that I have had."
"Keeper Enterprise Password Manager is critical for managing credentials both internally and for customers, serving as a must-have solution."

"Keeper has strong security features."
"I have a significant number of passwords and Keeper helps me manage them all for both work and personal accounts, for me and my whole family."

Cons

"If you add one more layer of security to AWS Secrets Manager, even the programmer will not be able to see the secrets."
"AWS Secrets Manager could support hybrid infrastructure."
"The sidecar feature has room for improvement."
"We occasionally have problems with rate limits, although that is a problem more generally with AWS."
"We occasionally have problems with rate limits, although that is a problem more generally with AWS."
"An area for improvement in AWS Secrets Manager could be expanding integration options beyond AWS services."
"There is a need for better environmental implementation, such as having a security fund as a solution."
"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."
"Room for improvement in my eyes would be being able to share my credit cards and other types of information. The only thing they really share is passwords, and you can only do it with one password at a time. When you're trying to share it out or trying to remove it from being shared, you can't do multiple selections."
"I rated Keeper Enterprise Password Manager a nine out of ten because occasionally the KeeperFill app does not function as it should and forces users to manually retrieve the password out of the vault and enter it manually."
"The user experience and the mobile app could be improved."
"Keeper does not provide password management for mobile apps."
"Needs to provide an API to be integrated with the information systems and offer secure file hosting service with sharing and editing capabilities."
"I would like to see a way to store files and photos in the next update."
"Needs to provide an API to be integrated with the information systems and offer secure file hosting service with sharing and editing capabilities."
"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."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"I don't believe there is a license cost for the solution."
"The solution is expensive."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
"Its price is reasonable."
"Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
