Provides strong authentication feature, which requires users to enter a one-time password (OTP)
The main issue I've noticed pertains to setting up the desktop client on virtual machines in Azure, GCP, or AWS, specifically for Entrust Identity Enterprise intended for on-premises use. It works for on-premises, but I'm not sure if it's fully supported in cloud environments. If support were added, it would function perfectly with on-premises configurations. So, it functions well on-premises, but integrating it with cloud services like AWS or Azure could be challenging. There are issues with cloud integrations, such as Azure, AWS, and GCP.

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.
