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.

Helps to build invoices but needs to improve the issue with bugs
I use the solution to build invoices for tenants or vendors.  The tool has bugs and breaks down at times.  I have been using Zoho Vault for a long time.  I would rate the tool's stability a seven out of ten.  I would rate Zoho Vault's scalability a seven out of ten. My company has 20-30 users…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"HashiCorp Vault has positively impacted my organization by streamlining access and secret management."
"We use the solution for secret management."
"It is a good product to consider for companies who are looking to build on-premise or hybrid infrastructure."
"HashiCorp Vault has reduced the workload regarding rotating secrets and securely managing them."
"The tool's dynamic rotation of the password credentials is good."
"The integration with other HashiCorp tools is very, very good."
"It can still be configured by a separate team other than developers, and that's why I think it's more secure."
"I will give advice that most people should go for HashiCorp Vault because compared to some other vaulting secrets solutions, you can go for HashiCorp Vault because it is a vault that can protect all of your data, all of your application secrets, and domain."
"I use the solution to build invoices for tenants or vendors."
 

Cons

"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."
"While not a missing feature, I feel that the enterprise license is expensive, especially for some of the smaller use cases."
"The technical support was hard to get a hold of and lacking in service."
"We could use more documentation, primarily to do with integrations."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"It could do everything we wanted it to do and it is brilliant, but it is super pricey."
"HashiCorp Vault can be improved from the security perspective, as it focuses on security lifecycle management. It requires other solutions for monitoring as users need to rely on tools that constantly monitor the system, especially database activity."
"I think HashiCorp Vault is a good product, but I have had hard times trying to find secrets that different teams own."
"The tool has bugs and breaks down at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"The AWS version is much cheaper than HashiCorp Vault."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Zoho Vault is cheap."
