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.

Easy to set up, simple to use, and quite secure
We primarily use the solution for a personal secondary backup The solution is easy to use. So far, the performance has been good.  It offers a very easy setup. The integration capabilities have been good. It's very stable and quite secure.  I cannot speak to any particular areas of improvement.…

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 advantageous feature is integration."
"It integrates well with Azure services and is easy to use and quick to provision."
"It allows me to run applications using these certificates without directly installing them."
"The solution uses the encryption technique to store the secret information data that uses EPCE. There is also one feature that monitors Azure Key Vault."
"Stability is very good."
"The product rating is ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the search for secrets feature that we use to store our passwords and connection strings."
"The centralized storage and secure storage are features we like."
"The synchronization is the solution's most valuable feature. It works really well. The ability to have secure notes is also very helpful."
"I like the ability to share passwords without them being visible to other team members. The auto-fill capabilities are great too."
"The integration capabilities have been good."
"Dashlane's most valuable feature is Hotspot Shield, the VPN feature that allows you to connect securely to public wifi."
 

Cons

"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."
"Azure Key Vault takes time to fetch values while integrating it with the code written in .NET format."
"There's room for improvement in cross-platform compatibility."
"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."
"If you check the capabilities of other key management services across Amazon, HashiCorp, and Google, there are features that Key Vault doesn't have. It could be the case that when you use Key Vault, you might be forced to use a third-party solution to get certain services. If those services could be included in Key Vault, there would be diminished reasons to go for a third-party key management system."
"The platform's configuration process could be easier."
"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."
"The skill level of the support staff is also questionable."
"It would be nice to have the solution localized in Europe. Dashlane is an American company. It's controlled by American laws and regulations that allows the American government to have full access to my data with Dashlane. That's why I am leaving Dashlane, because we can't accept such an important function in American control."
"The cost, while decent, of course, could always be less."
"The integration with the VPN feature could be smoother."
"There should also be an easier way to be able to transfer user data to other users who have kind of left the company."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Azure Key Vault is expensive."
"Pricing is quite reasonable and support is included, although premium support is available for an additional fee."
"Key Vault, like every Azure service, has a cost associated with it, but you don't have to spend thousands of dollars to spin up an environment to build a key management system. It's already there."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten."
"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."
"Azure Key Vault is an affordable solution."
"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."
"It is a little bit on the expensive side."
