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.

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

"It is user-friendly and easy to implement from any application point."
"The interface is very simple to navigate."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is the management of tickets in the pipeline."
"For me, the most valuable features include that it's easy to manage and maintain the password API for retrieving passwords and other things."
"It is a good product to consider for companies who are looking to build on-premise or hybrid infrastructure."
"The product is free and easy to use. It is well documented with an easy implementation process."
"The solution is stable. It has been working perfectly without any problem."
"It can still be configured by a separate team other than developers. That's why I think it's more secure."
"We can access our sign-ins and passwords on up to five devices per user. This means I can access a given site and my login and password for that site from my home and office computers as well as my phone and iPad."
"It syncs with all devices and supports all platforms."
"Keeper was user-friendly."
"What I like the most is the fact that I can just mark anything and it is automatically copied into the clipboard."
"The ability to share credentials easily and securely was a big improvement."
"The chat support is quick. I have never encountered any problems. On the contrary, they have been very helpful and kind."
"The generator of complex passwords keeps me safe from being hacked."
"It has a double authentication factor increasing the security level."
 

Cons

"An improvement needed is the ability for auto-initialization."
"The documentation is very general; it should have more examples and more use cases."
"The onboarding is a challenge. It should be more self-service, but it involves reviews and approvals."
"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."
"An improvement needed is the ability for auto-initialization. There should be an inbuilt option for automatic initialization rather than running it manually."
"I would like to see better integration of HashiCorp Vault with SAP products."
"The product is complicated to install."
"There could be a plugin for the database to change the secret automatically. It would be an efficient feature for password security."
"If you purchase the premium, then after the subscription expires, you cannot edit your passwords any longer, even if you could before you purchased the paid subscription."
"Ability to set up password profiles that can predefine custom fields and password complexity."
"Ability to store 'files' from IOS & Android devices. You can store pics from these devices currently. Most file formats can be uploaded from PC's/Macs"
"It would be nice to see this great tool integrate with other tools out there."
"Keeper does not provide password management for mobile apps."
"The organization of items needs improvement. For example, when I log onto the cloud version as well, everything is shown on my folder. It is hard to differentiate between files and documents in my list of items I have stored inside."
"I would add a category for personal documents or photos of ID cards."
"Possible offline access to passwords. Therefore, when internet access is unavailable, I can still access my vault."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"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 solution's cost is reasonable."
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
"ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
"Its price is reasonable."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
