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.

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."
"We use the solution for secret management."
"The solution is stable. It has been working perfectly without any problem."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is that it's an open source solution. Second, it's cloud agnostic, so it's very easy to maintain and control, which is why we prefer HashiCorp."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is the management of tickets in the pipeline."
"It is an added value for our customers to have a Secrets Management workflow available that is PaaS/CaaS/KaaS Platform agnostic."
"The support from the customer service team is good, they respond on time, and they always seem to be quite knowledgeable."
"The tool is secure, safe, reliable, and easy to use."
"ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is cheaper than other products, such as BeyondTrust, and is more than 50% cheaper compared to the Boomer solution we used before."
"The auditing feature is particularly valuable as it makes privileged account usage auditable."
"It is user-friendly. Someone who doesn’t have a lot of IT knowledge can work with the product easily."
"The security provided is very enhanced and it does a great job of keeping passwords safe."
"It is very safe and we haven't had any security issues."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to see better integration of HashiCorp Vault with SAP products."
"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."
"We could use more documentation, primarily to do with integrations."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"An improvement needed is the ability for auto-initialization. There should be an inbuilt option for automatic initialization rather than running it manually."
"The documentation is very general; it should have more examples and more use cases."
"The product needs to improve its customization. It should be also more like easy to plug and play."
"The support for the PAM product is not very prompt."
"There is room for improvement in making the UI more user-friendly."
"It's a pretty technical solution. It's designed for more technical people."
"The support for the PAM product is not very prompt."
"The user interface could be improved and made more user friendly."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being competitive, I would rate the pricing of this solution as a five."
