HashiCorp Vault Features
Reviews from Real Users
“The greatest benefit of HashiCorp is its ability to manage encryption on the fly. It provides encryption of data at rest, in use, in transit, on the fly, and linked with applications, which was really attractive. The lifecycle of a key is so easy to manage in terms of rotating, revoking, and issuing. They have different auth methods, and I tried all different auth methods. It is seamless.”- Project Manager at a comms service provider.
“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. “ - Mohamed A., Lead DevOps Engineer at Etisalat.

Cloud Solutions Architect at IBM | 5.0 | I use HashiCorp Vault primarily for dynamic secrets and certificate management to secure banking systems. Its dynamic features and encryption capabilities enhance security, though improvements are needed in monitoring. I deploy it on AWS, with prior experience in IBM and Red Hat solutions. |
Cybersecurity & DevSecOps Lead at WhizAI | 4.0 | I use HashiCorp Vault for secret management, valuing its version control and efficient Kubernetes integration. It keeps my secrets safe and encrypted. An improvement I suggest is automatic initialization. I didn't consider other solutions before choosing Vault. |
Architect at Accenture | 4.0 | I find HashiCorp Vault highly valuable for secure machine-to-machine communication, especially with its seamless secret engine integration. However, its user interface needs improvement, as it relies heavily on manual management through API calls rather than a graphical interface. |
Consultant at Accenture | 5.0 | I currently utilize HashiCorp Vault for storing service principal credentials and creating access policies via API calls, which enhances security. However, the onboarding process is cumbersome. Despite other options, Vault remains the adaptable standard for integration. |
Head of IT Security Division at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I find HashiCorp Vault to be a free, user-friendly solution with detailed documentation and straightforward implementation. However, it lacks a plugin for automatic secret changes in databases, which would enhance password security. I previously used CyberArk for similar purposes. |
Credit Analyst at Standard Chartered Bank | 3.0 | I use HashiCorp Vault for password management due to its ease of management and API retrieval features. However, it could be more stable. Additionally, we also work with Azure Key Vault alongside HashiCorp Vault for our needs. |
Vice President - Global Head of Privilege Access Management, Data Services and Certification at Barclays Capital | 4.0 | I use HashiCorp Vault for secret management but feel it needs better customization and should be easier to use with a plug-and-play approach. I haven't previously used or considered alternative solutions, and deployment details were not discussed. |
