Have addressed compliance challenges but still struggle with seamless integration of certificate issuance between environments
In terms of Azure Key Vault improvements, we have to compare the competitor. If we consider AWS, our bank has Microsoft PKI, which is a Microsoft product, for the entire digital certificate infrastructure. Even in the cloud, when it is AWS, the internal certificates are MS PKI. When we had a problem, users had to come to on-premise to get a certificate and import it to AWS Certificate Manager and assign it. We wondered why we could not issue the certificate directly from the cloud for cloud users. There was a simple way in AWS. They have a Private Certificate Authority (PCA) and Amazon Certificate Manager. Private Certificate Authority issues certificates to Amazon services. They also provide Amazon Certificate Manager to store and deploy certificates. These are two neat components - one is an issuer and another is storage and deployment solutions for certificates. With PCA, I can directly enable it and get certificates from AWS itself. AWS can issue SSL/TLS certificates if you enable it directly. If you consider Azure, it is not very clear. Even the naming convention, Key Vault, might not suggest that this is a PKI or certificate manager. You cannot issue certificates directly. They have app certificates and did not have a clear-cut certificate management solution in the cloud when I worked at that time. I am not sure whether they have updated Azure Key Vault as a full-fledged PKI solution now. From what I saw, it was not a full-fledged PKI solution. We are not majorly using Azure Key Vault because it is only for storing secrets. If some solutions can provide guidance on how we can maximize leverage, we can immediately look forward to doing that. We already have some business problems we want to solve. While our primary focus is AWS, many of the services such as ADO are running on Azure, and the secondary services are growing bigger.

Helps me deal with a litany of access credentials, but the user interface is not well structured
Our primary use for this solution is password management. We have so many websites, passwords, and user IDs that it is impossible to remember them all This solution has helped us deal with the litany of access credentials, whether business or personal. The most valuable feature is that it stores…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's integration capabilities are good."
"The tool is highly secure and very easy to manage."
"It allows me to run applications using these certificates without directly installing them."
"With Azure Key Vault, we can generate our own keys and then import them inside the system, which provides a higher level of security than provider-managed keys."
"This solution speeds up the product development life cycle. That is, the time from the development of the product to the time to market is drastically reduced because of the CI/CD pipelines. You can have your code deployed within a matter of minutes."
"The access policy feature helps secure content and resources."
"Once we got Microsoft Azure Key Vault set up and injected into our code, we have had pretty good success storing our secrets and passwords for our integrations and applications."
"I am satisfied with the product overall."
"The most valuable feature is that it stores all of your user IDs and passwords, and unlocks them with just one master password."
 

Cons

"It needs to offer dynamic secrets management."
"The platform's configuration process could be easier."
"It is complicated to use different services and products along with Azure Key Vault."
"The whole problem of password rotation could be improved. My security area wants to rotate passwords every day, every week, or every month, depending on the services."
"However, if you're not looking to have your application tied to one cloud provider, then you should stay away from this solution."
"Azure needs to provide versions of Key Vault that are suitable for different sizes of companies."
"It would be great if Azure allowed more third-party vendors into the ecosystem."
"Azure Key Vault takes time to fetch values while integrating it with the code written in .NET format."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the Azure Key Vault is very high and the pricing model is based on the number of keys that you store and retrieve."
"The product has good pricing."
"The price of the solution is reasonable for what we are using it for."
"The product costs much less compared to other vendors."
"It is less expensive compared to other competitors."
"There are no extra costs beyond the standard fees, beyond maybe data transfer charges. It's $0.025 per 10,000 data transactions, so it is quite cheap."
"The price of the product is okay for my company."
"I find the pricing of Azure Key Vault to be reasonable."
"The personal version is approximately $20 USD per year."
