Mahadev Metre - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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."
"The most valuable feature is security."
"Integrating with other services was straightforward, especially within the AWS environment."
"The most valuable feature is the management of credentials."
"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 product is easy to use and is inexpensive."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Secrets Manager is its seamless integration with various AWS services."
"Available for Windows platforms and also Mac OS and Linux systems."
"The ability to share credentials easily and securely was a big improvement."
"Keeper was user-friendly."
"It is nice to be able to use my Touch ID and have access to all my passwords in one place."
"I like Keeper's mobility and its accessibility."
"The chat support is quick. I have never encountered any problems. On the contrary, they have been very helpful and kind."
"It is very easy to install and setup."
"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."
 

Cons

"The price of the solution could improve."
"It would be good if the AWS Secrets Manager were more customizable."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"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."
"The sidecar feature has room for improvement."
"AWS Secrets Manager could support hybrid infrastructure."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"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."
"API possible needs improvement. Although, this feature is for enterprises which need more then the usual usage."
"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."
"The password rotation feature could be improved."
"The technical support has no experience."
"I would love it if you didn't have to re-authenticate when you start up a new browser."
"Ability to set up password profiles that can predefine custom fields and password complexity."
"Maybe a sort of category organizer to help with organizing passwords for different things, such as banking, medical, shopping, and school."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't believe there is a license cost for the solution."
"The solution is expensive."
"We purchase a monthly license for the product."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"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."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
"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."
"Its price is reasonable."
