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.
Mahesh Subramanian - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps with password management and sharing
The tool's setup was easy and we have deployed it on the cloud. The deployment was quick and we completed it in less than a week. We have two teams one in the US and another in India. We first implemented Keeper in the US, got feedback, and then implemented it in India. The overall deployment took about four months to complete.

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."
"It's stable. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is version control."
"It can still be configured by a separate team other than developers. That's why I think it's more secure."
"It is an added value for our customers to have a Secrets Management workflow available that is PaaS/CaaS/KaaS Platform agnostic."
"It is user-friendly and easy to implement from any application point."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is the management of tickets in the pipeline."
"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."
"I can access my passwords from any Internet connected device."
"Support is very quick to respond, and they have fixed any issues that I have had."
"​The installation and its use are very simple​."
"What I like the most is the fact that I can just mark anything and it is automatically copied into the clipboard."
"Auto login across platforms allows for no copying and pasting."
"I like Keeper's mobility and its accessibility."
"Stronger passwords are being used across the board in our organization."
"Chrome extension and app."
 

Cons

"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"The solution could be much easier to implement."
"We could use more documentation, primarily to do with integrations."
"The technical support was hard to get a hold of and lacking in service."
"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."
"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 product needs to improve its customization. It should be also more like easy to plug and play."
"In my opinion, HashiCorp Vault could improve its user interface. Right now, they don't offer much in terms of a graphical interface, which means you usually have to manage things manually through API calls. I think CyberArk has a better approach because it provides a UI that integrates features across all its components, making it easier, especially for new users or those from organizations with strict licensing policies."
"The user experience and the mobile app could be improved."
"I would add a category for personal documents or photos of ID cards."
"The password rotation feature could be improved."
"API possible needs improvement. Although, this feature is for enterprises which need more then the usual usage."
"Keeper does not provide password management for mobile apps."
"Rearranging folders via drag/drop functionality would be very helpful."
"Maybe a sort of category organizer to help with organizing passwords for different things, such as banking, medical, shopping, and school."
"Needs to provide an API to be integrated with the information systems and offer secure file hosting service with sharing and editing capabilities."
 

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 product is expensive."
"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."
"I am using the open-source version of Vault and I would have to buy a license if I want to get support."
"The AWS version is much cheaper than HashiCorp Vault."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"Its price is reasonable."
"Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"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."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
