"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."
"It's stable. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is the management of tickets in the pipeline."
"It is user-friendly and easy to implement from any application point."
"For me, the most valuable features include that it's easy to manage and maintain the password API for retrieving passwords and other things."
"This solution is easy to use and to integrate."
"It is a good product to consider for companies who are looking to build on-premise or hybrid infrastructure."
"The most valuable features of the N-able Passportal are the password rotations, and the ability to be able to store passwords. You can have it on your phone or your desktop. You're not required to have it only on your desktop computer."
"The most valuable feature of the N-able Passportal is its functionality. You can store your passwords safely, and not just anyone can gain access to them. If you have an onsite system, it can change the password for you on a daily basis. This is a great benefit because you don't have to worry about if the account's breached tomorrow, your pass is going to be changed. It's perfect."
"There could be a plugin for the database to change the secret automatically. It would be an efficient feature for password security."
"The solution could be much easier to implement."
"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."
"In terms of features, the only thing that I found a little bit hinky was that there was no revocation or deletion on the model we were using. Once in a financial year, a client interacts, and you pay for that client for the year. So, there are just little things like that in the pricing. There should be more clarity around the end of the key. I know there is no system like this. They all are the same. I tested Microsoft, Google, and some others, and none of them really want you to delete a key, which makes sense. You delete a key, and you lose everything that it has wrapped or encrypted, but it's actually just a language. Deletion isn't really deletion. It's really revocation, but overall, HashiCorp Vault ticked all the boxes for us, and I couldn't fault it."
"The onboarding is a challenge. It should be more self-service, but it involves reviews and approvals."
"The documentation is very general; it should have more examples and more use cases."
"I would like to see better integration of HashiCorp Vault with SAP products."
"We could use more documentation, primarily to do with integrations."
"N-able Passportal can improve the stability because sometimes I can't log in. I had some issues a couple of months ago where I couldn't log in and that was problematic."
"Sometimes accessing the solution is a bit slow, but that could be due to conditions at many different points. However, some issues that do arise are outside of our control."
