Has all necessary functionalities, is sophisticated and mature; still contains some bugs
There are still some bugs in the solution but a lot less than there used to be. Unfortunately, CyberArk and BeyondTrust are in fierce competition. Many customers have already adopted CyberArk, but they need a proven remote access solution and are likely to go with BeyondTrust. Both solutions can be used, it's just more work for IT to manage them. CyberArk is still leading the market share globally, and BeyondTrust is always classified second, followed by Delinea or Thycotic.

Centralized secrets have improved CI/CD security and now streamline credential rotation
IBM HashiCorp Security Lifecycle Management can be improved in that initial setup and policy configuration can take some time, especially for teams that are new to Vault and its concepts. I would also appreciate simpler administration and more straightforward troubleshooting because some configuration issues can require digging through logs and documentation. I would also improve the user experience around monitoring and day-to-day administration in IBM HashiCorp Security Lifecycle Management. Some tasks are quite straightforward once you understand the platform, but the learning curve can be higher for new team members. Better guided workflows with clearer error messages would help. One area I would improve in IBM HashiCorp Security Lifecycle Management is the overall reporting and visibility experience. It would be useful to have more out-of-the-box dashboards for access patterns, policy compliance, and secret life status without needing as much customization.
