For those considering AWS Secrets Manager, I recommend leveraging its secure and easy-to-use features for storing and managing secrets. Since AWS doesn't have a direct alternative, it is a solid choice for enhancing security in applications. Before starting, ensure a clear understanding of your application's secret management needs to make the most of this tool.

I rate AWS Secrets Manager an eight out of ten. They should build a hybrid infrastructure and include more Amazon services. It is easy to use, scalable, and provides security. I recommend it to other companies.

I recommend users use AWS Secrets Manager because it's a good way to store secrets. When you create a secret in AWS Secrets Manager, you have to protect it with a key. You have two options. You can either use the key supplied by AWS or create your own key. If you create a key of your own, every program using this secret has to be whitelisted in another AWS service called the Key Management Service (KMS). But you don't need to do that if you use the default key supplied by AWS. Users should watch out for that when they use AWS Secrets Manager. Overall, I rate AWS Secrets Manager ten out of ten.

I'd rate it an eight out of ten since there are some open-source tools that I prefer, but it's still a highly useful and effective program.

If your workloads are running on AWS and you want a quick and easy integration with a solution to manage your secrets, AWS Secrets Manager can do the job. If you're not hosting your application on AWS or you're trying to do something on-prem, AWS will still be able to solve most of your issues, depending on the use case. It certainly cannot act as a PAM solution. I would rate AWS Secrets Manager a 10 out of 10. Everything is good, and I have not had any issues with it. It is a part of the overall workload. It is just a piece of interface for us to save the secrets.

We do not make much use of the interface. Rather, we use the programmatic interface. In summary, this is a good product and well suits our needs. There are no missing options that are blocking our use case as of now. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I have been using AWS for the past 10 years and am quite comfortable working in that environment. The Secrets Manager is just one of the AWS products that I use regularly. Overall, this is a good product, we are satisfied with the support, and I recommend it. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Enterprise password management solutions store and administer sensitive data such as passwords, records, and identity credentials for organizations. Since most cyber-attacks use legitimate credentials to enter an organization, password security is an essential part of an organization’s security posture.
