"Its customer service is excellent."
"Azure Key Vault is very affordable, with charges of less than a dollar for over ten thousand keys."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the search for secrets feature that we use to store our passwords and connection strings."
"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Key Vault is its ease of use."
"I find the simplicity of key management to be the most valuable feature. Key management has always been a difficult function to do, especially in the cloud premises. Azure Key Vault provides you with a mechanism for managing keys, without having to worry about protecting secrets is valuable."
"The centralized storage and secure storage are features we like."
"One of the most important is the Conditional Access. It helps affect a Zero Trust strategy positively."
"Syncing with our on-prem Active Directory is valuable because we do not have to keep multiple identities for each of our staff members. We can easily evaluate login risks and provide access for SSO via 365 into applications, such as Salesforce, and other things that we run our business on."
"The most beneficial feature would be the effectiveness of having a hybrid set-up."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that is easy to use."
"The user management groups are valuable. It is a pretty basic product, but user management, in general, is valuable with the ability to differentiate between business lines and add different policies, group-based management, and dynamic user groups."
"It's not intuitive and we use it mainly for our Office 365 files. The integration between the two is interesting. However, the learning curve is high."
"I like the way it communicates to the cloud."
"Overall the solution functions very well, such as the ability to access it from the cloud."
"The solution needs to improve its cost."
"While it is reliable, enhancing security and protection should always be the priority."
"While the solution already does a great job of managing keys, the solution could probably look at maybe expanding more into mobile devices and endpoints."
"The voucher access policy can be improved by configuring it based on groups, rather than just applications or users."
"Azure needs to provide versions of Key Vault that are suitable for different sizes of companies."
"Azure Key Vault is only available for Microsoft services, and it should be exposed to non-Microsoft cloud services, like GCP and Amazon."
"They should improve its policies, which sometimes reapplied but don't sync properly between the Key vault and the role-based access. When I put some roles on the user side, it sometimes misses the end data to secure."
"They should add a key vault feature for the databases temporarily integrated into hybrid clouds."
"The synchronization with the local Active Directory and synchronization with all of the users on the local and cloud could be better."
"I would like to see improvements made when it comes to viewing audit logs, sign-in logs, and resource tags."
"We would like to see more system updates."
"I would like it to be easier to integrate third-party applications."
"The monitoring dashboard could be a bit better."
"If your organization requires additional security then the subscription will be more expensive."
"When it comes to identity and access life cycle management for applications that are run on-premises, as well as access governance, if those kinds of capabilities could be built into Azure Active Directory, that would be good."
"Microsoft has so many different requirements and priorities that sometimes they don't invest all their energy into the products that you have expectations to investigate."
