Offers dynamic secrets and certificate management for proactive security measures
The best features in HashiCorp Vault are its dynamic certificate management and dynamic secret management, which are the key features that use data effectively. These are very targeted use cases that cut across multiple solutions. I have utilized Vault's encryption capabilities for securing data in transit and at rest, especially for dynamically consuming database encryption, which covers the requirements of various scenarios where databases do not have encryption capability. HashiCorp Vault provides security by rotating the keys and taking all the burden of securing the data from the database. These are key core features that many users employ in this solution. Vault's audit logs provide insights into access patterns and help ensure compliance. These facilities are configurable, and the logs are encrypted, ensuring that anything recorded in the logs is secure. We could use systems that comply with specific standards for audit logging and scanning, especially when working with them. The benefits from HashiCorp Vault include significant advantages in security lifecycle management itself. The value becomes apparent when security incidents occur. It has substantial value in proactively protecting from adverse situations, providing resilience and appreciation by customers in complete security lifecycle management solutions for core infrastructure applications.

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 is a good product to consider for companies who are looking to build on-premise or hybrid infrastructure."
"The feature I find most beneficial in HashiCorp Vault is the secret engine. It integrates smoothly with many applications, making it easy to set up and implement quickly. This allows you to test it easily and see good results rapidly. When you integrate an internal API or application, it quickly manages that application's secrets."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is the management of tickets in the pipeline."
"The tool's dynamic rotation of the password credentials is good."
"This solution is easy to use and to integrate."
"The product is free and easy to use. It is well documented with an easy implementation process."
"The benefits from HashiCorp Vault include significant advantages in security lifecycle management itself."
"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."
"Keeper Bridge."
"I can access my passwords from any Internet connected device."
"Auto login across platforms allows for no copying and pasting."
"​The installation and its use are very simple​."
"Stronger passwords are being used across the board in our organization."
"A useful solution for storing encryption keys, programming and developing a SaaS platform."
"I like the tool's keyword editor and SSO."
"It is nice to be able to use my Touch ID and have access to all my passwords in one place."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better integration of HashiCorp Vault with SAP products."
"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 solution could be much easier to implement."
"The product is complicated to install."
"We could use more documentation, primarily to do with integrations."
"The technical support was hard to get a hold of and lacking in service."
"I don't think there are any major improvements required—so far, so good. However, I think that having more training materials, such as videos, and documentation available would be helpful. I would prefer to have more videos available either on the official site or on YouTube."
"The onboarding is a challenge. It should be more self-service, but it involves reviews and approvals."
"Search functions are sometimes weird."
"The user experience and the mobile app could be improved."
"Needs to provide an API to be integrated with the information systems and offer secure file hosting service with sharing and editing capabilities."
"The stability of the solution can be improved."
"I would like to see a way to store files and photos in the next update​. If it already does this, I have yet to explore it."
"I would love it if you didn't have to re-authenticate when you start up a new browser."
"API possible needs improvement. Although, this feature is for enterprises which need more then the usual usage."
"Needs to improve KeeperFill on iOS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 solution's cost is reasonable."
"The product is expensive."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"Its price is reasonable."
"Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
"It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
"ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
