Easy to manage and maintain the password API but stability could be improved
I would advise doing a Proof of Concept first and then deciding accordingly because your use case might be simple. You can try out AWS Key Management or Azure Key Vault. They are different products. Do the POC and then decide what you need. Overall, I would rate the solution a six out of ten. No solution is a ten in my opinion.
Parwiz ElmJo - PeerSpot reviewer
It's an inexpensive, scalable solution that has improved our security
We use Keeper to store passwords We previously kept our passwords in an Excel file. Using Keeper makes us more secure.  Keeper has strong security features.  The password rotation feature could be improved. I have used Keeper for three years. I rate Keeper eight out of 10 for stability.  I…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's stable. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."
"The solution is stable. It has been working perfectly without any problem."
"The tool's dynamic rotation of the password credentials is good."
"It is an added value for our customers to have a Secrets Management workflow available that is PaaS/CaaS/KaaS Platform agnostic."
"This solution is easy to use and to integrate."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is the management of tickets in the pipeline."
"The product is free and easy to use. It is well documented with an easy implementation process."
"The interface is very simple to navigate."
"Password sharing and SSO. These features almost become a necessity to make sure that company data is safe and reduce the possibility of data breach."
"A useful solution for storing encryption keys, programming and developing a SaaS platform."
"It keeps my passwords organized and safe."
"I like a couple of things about this solution. Being able to share passwords with other people is valuable. You can see if the information is out on the dark web and whether you have weak passwords and the last time they were changed. You could also have the 2FA or MFA codes embedded in the application so that you don't have to use your phone or any other 2FA device, which is something very important."
"Keeper has strong security features."
"Can create folders for specific types of information (i.e., work, personal, and school)."
"Available for Windows platforms and also Mac OS and Linux systems."
"It is nice to be able to use my Touch ID and have access to all my passwords in one place."
 

Cons

"The onboarding is a challenge. It should be more self-service, but it involves reviews and approvals."
"There could be a plugin for the database to change the secret automatically. It would be an efficient feature for password security."
"The documentation is very general; it should have more examples and more use cases."
"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."
"The product is complicated to install."
"An improvement needed is the ability for auto-initialization."
"The product needs to improve its customization. It should be also more like easy to plug and play."
"We could use more documentation, primarily to do with integrations."
"The technical support has no experience."
"The password rotation feature could be improved."
"They could possibly add a pre-designed contact feature that would work similar to a cell phone contact feature."
"Possible offline access to passwords. Therefore, when internet access is unavailable, I can still access my vault."
"The technical support for this solution could be faster support and improved if they had a better understanding of my questions."
"Search functions are sometimes weird."
"The user experience and the mobile app could be improved."
"Keeper does not provide password management for mobile apps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"The AWS version is much cheaper than HashiCorp Vault."
"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"Its price is reasonable."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
