Secret storage and certificate management have been streamlined
I am not on the developer's end. I am primarily the main infrastructure person. I'm not sure what needs improvement. Sometimes, we face issues that the support team is not aware of, necessitating investigation from their end. For example, one of our certificates was not getting deployed, and during that time, the support team was unsure and had to connect with the back-end team for assistance. Improvements can be made in this area, however, it's understandable that not everything can be perfect.

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

"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Key Vault is its ease of use."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. It only took a few minutes."
"The product rating is ten out of ten."
"Stability is very good."
"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 GUI was quite easy for me to use."
"Its customer service is excellent."
"I would rate Azure Key Vault 10 out of 10."
"The most valuable feature is that it stores all of your user IDs and passwords, and unlocks them with just one master password."
 

Cons

"Currently, our company has to add the secrets manually, one by one, in Azure Key Vault, which is a tedious process."
"There's room for improvement in cross-platform compatibility."
"Azure Key Vault is only available for Microsoft services, and it should be exposed to non-Microsoft cloud services, like GCP and Amazon."
"If multiple clouds are to be used it can be difficult and a third party should assist in the implementation."
"One of my previous clients was one of the big banks here in the Netherlands and the EU courts have stated that Microsoft Azure Key Vault is not, according to their perspective, secure due to the fact that Microsoft has access to Key Vault."
"Microsoft Azure Key Vault could improve by enhancing the security of credentials. Without the security or the use of key vaults, we would have to configure our credentials into the source code as plain text without the encryption or security."
"We encountered a few problems where Azure had infrastructure problems like the DMS."
"One area for improvement is the notification system for secret expiration. It would be beneficial if the service could handle this more autonomously, eliminating the need for additional integrations."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use a pay-as-you-go license for the solution, which is not very expensive."
"The product has good pricing."
"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 solution is reasonable for what we are using it for."
"You don't need to pay for a license for Azure Key Vault. It is billed on a pay-as-you-go basis."
"The pricing is decent. It has a pretty low price. It is a straightforward cost based on usage."
"Currently, the solution's pricing is based on the number of transactions, which is very high in some cases."
"Azure is cheaper than CyberArk... CyberArk is good, but it's quite expensive."
"The personal version is approximately $20 USD per year."
