Manish Indupuri - PeerSpot reviewer

Centralized secret management has strengthened security and simplified compliance across cloud-native environments
Configuring HashiCorp Vault since we are mainly using it in Kubernetes or OpenShift clusters took some time and effort to align with our deployment. The initial setup can be a little confusing and complex for someone who is newer. However, it is not impossible to achieve, but it will take some time to understand the product. The ACLs within HashiCorp Vault, such as policies and AppRole authentication, were not intuitive at first. However, we slowly became habituated to the product once we began using it. Once we moved past the learning curve of these challenges, HashiCorp Vault becomes a critical security layer of our workloads. The only minor challenge is the initial setup complexity, especially for teams new to HashiCorp Vault's authentication methods and storage backends. Other than that, it works flawlessly.

A tool to encrypt and decrypt emails that can also be useful for general access management
I rate the initial setup process of Intercede MyID an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. The solution was deployed throughout the whole organization, meaning the solution was rolled out in my company, and that's it. The solution was deployed in a couple of days. Two people were required for the solution's deployment and maintenance phases.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is version control."
"The solution is stable; it has been working perfectly without any problem."
"In my opinion, the best features with HashiCorp Vault are that it works as one solution providing security across all the clouds."
"We use the solution for secret management."
"HashiCorp Vault has positively impacted security governance that we have by greatly reducing the risk of a leak and then a bypass, but overall, it's increased the security of our organization."
"It's stable. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."
"We were using it because we have compliance requirements around secret management. Having a secure vault and encrypting data was an additional requirement. When we looked at it first, we were just looking for a vault, like a lockbox. The greatest benefit of HashiCorp is its ability to manage encryption on the fly. It provides encryption of data at rest, in use, in transit, on the fly, and linked with applications, which was really attractive."
"The integration with other HashiCorp tools is very, very good."
"The feature for signing documents is important to me."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the access management."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful to have more advanced features."
"HashiCorp Vault is quite complex to use for new users and has a steep learning curve; I would consider the tool very good for highly advanced teams who manage huge numbers of credentials, but it's probably not very appropriate for smaller teams with maybe less experience using vaults such as this."
"A drawback for some clients who have to be PCI compliant is that they still need to use and subscribe to an HSM (Hardware Security Module) solution."
"An improvement needed is the ability for auto-initialization."
"There could be a plugin for the database to change the secret automatically. It would be an efficient feature for password security."
"The product is complicated to install."
"The onboarding is a challenge. It should be more self-service, but it involves reviews and approvals."
"However, I think that having more training materials, such as videos, and documentation available would be helpful."
"Reporting features would be a good addition to Intercede MyID, as it is one of the areas where the solution lacks."
"I'm not sure whether the solution has a mobile version or mobile dashboard, but that would be nice."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In my case, the open-source version works well. It's advisable for small to medium-scale organizations, but for large-scale organizations, you should go with the enterprise version."
"It could do everything we wanted it to do and it is brilliant, but it is super pricey. To be fair to HashiCorp, we drove the price up with our requirements around resiliency. Because of the nature of our company, we don't really operate in the cloud."
"The AWS version is much cheaper than HashiCorp Vault."
"I am using the open-source version of Vault and I would have to buy a license if I want to get support."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"The product is expensive."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
