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 to build invoices but needs to improve the issue with bugs
I use the solution to build invoices for tenants or vendors.  The tool has bugs and breaks down at times.  I have been using Zoho Vault for a long time.  I would rate the tool's stability a seven out of ten.  I would rate Zoho Vault's scalability a seven out of ten. My company has 20-30 users…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. It is excellent."
"The product's integration capabilities are good."
"I would say it's granular controller who can access them."
"Technical support from Microsoft is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the search for secrets feature that we use to store our passwords and connection strings."
"The solution can scale up as needed."
"The centralized storage and secure storage are features we like."
"I find the simplicity of key management to be the most valuable feature. Key management has always been a difficult function to do, especially in the cloud premises. Azure Key Vault provides you with a mechanism for managing keys, without having to worry about protecting secrets is valuable."
"I use the solution to build invoices for tenants or vendors."
 

Cons

"It would be great if Azure allowed more third-party vendors into the ecosystem."
"While the solution already does a great job of managing keys, the solution could probably look at maybe expanding more into mobile devices and endpoints."
"However, if you're not looking to have your application tied to one cloud provider, then you should stay away from this solution."
"The rotation of key needs improvement."
"The response time can be improved."
"They should add a key vault feature for the databases temporarily integrated into hybrid clouds."
"I would like more code examples."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"The tool has bugs and breaks down at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Azure Key Vault is an affordable solution."
"Currently, the tool's monthly licensing costs are around 1,800 USD for all the environments combined, including the production and pre-production environments."
"The product is inexpensive."
"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 price of the solution is reasonable for what we are using it for."
"The product has good pricing."
"It is less expensive compared to other competitors."
"Zoho Vault is cheap."
