Very secure for storing passwords, keys, and secrets
1Password is very secure for storing all my passwords, keys, and secrets for work 1Password should check and alert me if my information, such as my password or email address, has been sold on the internet. There is a function for that, but it's not very good or useful for me. I haven’t faced any…

Simplifies and secures secret management within the AWS ecosystem, though it could enhance integration capabilities with external platforms
I use it for handling any confidential tasks or operations within my systems. Typically, we rely on the AWS Identity and Access Management center to set specific rules. In most cases, systems autonomously manage the secrets. While there are admins who can handle secrets from the console, we aim to…

"The solution is very scalable."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Secrets Manager is the ability to keep data secret and assign access permissions to people to grant or restrict access."
"All our workloads are running on AWS, so integration with our workload is much easier on AWS Secrets Manager than going with another solution such as Thycotic."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Secrets Manager is its seamless integration with various AWS services."
"The product is easy to use and is inexpensive."

"The service could be improved incrementally to enhance programmatic access to the vault."
"We faced issues while integrating 1Password into JumpCloud."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"The sidecar feature has room for improvement."
"We occasionally have problems with rate limits, although that is a problem more generally with AWS."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"If you add one more layer of security to AWS Secrets Manager, even the programmer will not be able to see the secrets."
"AWS Secrets Manager could support hybrid infrastructure."
"If you don't have enterprise support, then you will not be able to get through to them to get the help. It is not only applicable to AWS Secrets Manager. It is also applicable to any service on AWS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is not too cheap or expensive."
"Users have to pay around five euros per year for the solution."
"I don't believe there is a license cost for the solution."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"The solution is expensive."
"We've observed that AWS Secrets Manager pricing is based on a per-secret-per-month model. As a result, we prefer to divide our secrets into individual pieces to increase security and grant specific access permissions to certain secrets, systems, or individuals. However, this approach results in higher costs. Therefore, we have been exploring ways to combine our secrets into groups to reduce expenses and simplify management. Nonetheless, we acknowledge that this issue may not be related to the secret manager's functionality."
"We purchase a monthly license for the product."
