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.

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

"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is version control."
"The interface is very simple to navigate."
"It's stable. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."
"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."
"It is a good product to consider for companies who are looking to build on-premise or hybrid infrastructure."
"The benefits from HashiCorp Vault include significant advantages in security lifecycle management itself."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is version control."
"I like the tool's keyword editor and SSO."
"What I like the most is the fact that I can just mark anything and it is automatically copied into the clipboard."
"The chat support is quick. I have never encountered any problems. On the contrary, they have been very helpful and kind."
"Keeper Bridge."
"Can create folders for specific types of information (i.e., work, personal, and school)."
"The ability to share credentials easily and securely was a big improvement."
"Enables IT department to force very complex passwords for certain users."
"It saves us from duplicating passwords for different accounts."
 

Cons

"An improvement needed is the ability for auto-initialization."
"We could use more documentation, primarily to do with integrations."
"The solution could be much easier to implement."
"The product needs to improve its customization. It should be also more like easy to plug and play."
"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."
"An improvement needed is the ability for auto-initialization. There should be an inbuilt option for automatic initialization rather than running it manually."
"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 would rate the stability a six out of ten. There are some bugs and glitches. We are in touch with the vendor to resolve them."
"The technical support has no experience."
"It would be nice to see this great tool integrate with other tools out there."
"I would love it if you didn't have to re-authenticate when you start up a new browser."
"Its aesthetic needs improvement."
"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."
"Needs to improve KeeperFill on iOS."
"Possible offline access to passwords. Therefore, when internet access is unavailable, I can still access my vault."
"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."
 

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."
"The AWS version is much cheaper than HashiCorp Vault."
"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 product is expensive."
"I am using the open-source version of Vault and I would have to buy a license if I want to get support."
"Its price is reasonable."
"ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
