Featured Reviews

Manish Indupuri - PeerSpot reviewer
senior DevOps engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Centralized secret management has strengthened security and simplified compliance across cloud-native environments
Configuring HashiCorp Vault since we are mainly using it in Kubernetes or OpenShift clusters took some time and effort to align with our deployment. The initial setup can be a little confusing and complex for someone who is newer. However, it is not impossible to achieve, but it will take some time to understand the product. The ACLs within HashiCorp Vault, such as policies and AppRole authentication, were not intuitive at first. However, we slowly became habituated to the product once we began using it. Once we moved past the learning curve of these challenges, HashiCorp Vault becomes a critical security layer of our workloads. The only minor challenge is the initial setup complexity, especially for teams new to HashiCorp Vault's authentication methods and storage backends. Other than that, it works flawlessly.

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."
"Using HashiCorp Vault has led to measurable changes, particularly in secret management and cost optimizations."
"We use the solution for secret management."
"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."
"The solution is stable. It has been working perfectly without any problem."
"HashiCorp Vault has positively impacted security governance that we have by greatly reducing the risk of a leak and then a bypass, but overall, it's increased the security of our organization."
"HashiCorp Vault has positively impacted our organization by providing a central way to manage all the secrets."
"It's stable. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."
"It’s an excellent solution, with great security."
"Easy to enter and track licensing, a history of successful and failed attempts, easy for the users, and low cost."
"Customer Service: Very good. Technical Support: Excellent."
 

Cons

"The product is complicated to install."
"While not a missing feature, I feel that the enterprise license is expensive, especially for some of the smaller use cases."
"Setting up HashiCorp Vault can present operational challenges because deploying it involves complex initial setup, especially for a highly available cluster with integrated storage, auto-unseal, disaster recovery, and multi-authentication methods."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"HashiCorp Vault is quite complex to use for new users and has a steep learning curve; I would consider the tool very good for highly advanced teams who manage huge numbers of credentials, but it's probably not very appropriate for smaller teams with maybe less experience using vaults such as this."
"The product needs to improve its customization. It should be also more like easy to plug and play."
"It would be helpful to have more advanced features."
"There could be a plugin for the database to change the secret automatically. It would be an efficient feature for password security."
"They could include a deployment mechanism."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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 product is expensive."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
