Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, HashiCorp, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Enterprise Password Managers."The most valuable features are ease of use and enabling our clients to manage keys."
"The platform has a valuable feature for seamless integration."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Key Vault are the security and convenience of changing passwords in multiple places."
"The GUI was quite easy for me to use."
"Azure Key Vault's performance is excellent. It makes infrastructure management easier."
"It allows me to run applications using these certificates without directly installing them."
"The solution uses the encryption technique to store the secret information data that uses EPCE. There is also one feature that monitors Azure Key Vault."
"Azure Key Vault allows only identified users to get the credentials and rotates the keys automatically."
"The most valuable feature is the liberty of keeping encrypted passwords and elevated information in a sealed vault."
"Until now, I haven't found anything like the dashboard. It gives you a security score. I find that to be really great. The Sharing Center is really great as well. And the Security Challenge is really great too."
"It's always hard to put a value on return on investment. You avoid one breach and it's paid for a million times over. We got a penetration test company internally, just to see how secure our network is, and there happened to be one bit of software that had been overlooked by an external company that managed it. It hadn't been upgraded so that managed to get them into the network. They would've been able to access through the test thing a file that we had previously. If that was a real-life scenario they would have been able to get into our network and get full access to our organization's passwords. If they did get in, they would have gotten access to the cloud. The ROI we see is that we are completely secured compared to what we had previously where there was a vulnerability."
"Increased security around password management for teams and collaborative efforts with external vendors."
"The shared folders is an important feature. It's the primary feature we use. Also, the ability for LastPass to autofill and hide the passwords, so we don't have to keep changing passwords every time a person leaves, is valuable."
"The stability has been rock solid. A couple of years ago, they were breached. However, if you had two-factor authentication enabled, it didn't affect you. We did, so it has been good."
"The most valuable feature for me is being able to pair applications and user permissions."
"The initial setup for this process is straightforward and extremely easy. It just works."
"The product must provide AI features."
"While it's very reliable in terms of stability, there's always room for improvement."
"Users should be able to segregate the passwords."
"Azure Key Vault is only available for Microsoft services, and it should be exposed to non-Microsoft cloud services, like GCP and Amazon."
"If the region where the Azure Key Vault data center is hosted goes down, it would be a cumbersome task since our company will have to come up with a different Azure Key Vault and migrate all the secrets or keys into it."
"Azure needs to provide versions of Key Vault that are suitable for different sizes of companies."
"The integration with Thales HSM is complex and is not out-of-the-box. Uploading the keys was quite a tedious process."
"There are additional charges for data transfers. However, the pricing is mostly reasonable for the licensing overall."
"I struggle a little bit with the mobile app. As a browser extension, it works really well, and we are able to get to what we need to. However, on the phone, it's not quite as easy to navigate."
"I also don't like the add-in for Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, because when you do the add-in, you can actually save that to your credentials in your IE, and the problem is, if I left my screen open, or any of the IT people leave their screen open someone could come up and access all their credentials in LastPass without having to put a password in within your own network. I don't like that functionality. We've banned that from any of our staff adding that as an add-in because we see that as a security risk."
"The biggest thing is there is no good way to have LastPass rotate passwords without human intervention. Right now, we have to go into each folder, then rotate and manually update each password. It can be done it by loading a bunch of passwords into a spreadsheet, but this makes the whole process insecure because then the passwords have been noted into a spreadsheet which have to be upload. We have to go into 40 to 50 applications and manually update passwords, because we don't view their solution of writing a bunch of passwords on a spreadsheet, then uploading them as a secure solution. This should be done internally within LastPass."
"We have issues from time to time where, for some reason, it just keeps auto logging-out the user and then, the next day, they'll come in and it will work just fine."
"The management through the plugin is poor. It consumes tons of client resources especially as an administrator."
"I would like to be able to reduce the log out time of the session."
"Its user interface should be better, and there should probably be more information about scalability."
"One thing I wish LastPass had is an integration with Active Directory, not for synchronizing users but to actually manage, in some way, privileged accounts by replacing the password of LastPass itself."
