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
AWS Secrets Manager has streamlined our processes for managing secrets and their lifecycle. We typically handle everything through automation, following a predefined approach. When we undertake our developments, we seamlessly integrate the process into our workflows. Essentially, our secrets require minimal intervention; they are automatically managed by the system itself. This ensures smooth operations without the need for manual intervention. We integrate this tool with various AWS services, utilizing AWS Secrets Manager specifically for AWS resources. Any application, service, or deployment within AWS leverages Secrets Manager whenever it requires access to it.

"The solution's most valuable features are its password management security and cloud firewall."
"1Password is very secure for storing all my passwords, keys, and secrets for work."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the management of credentials."
"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 product is easy to use and is inexpensive."
"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."
"Integrating with other services was straightforward, especially within the AWS environment."
"The most valuable feature is usability, as it is quite user-friendly."
"AWS Secrets Manager is used for storing secret information that has to be a secret from your customer and your employees."
 

Cons

"We faced issues while integrating 1Password into JumpCloud."
"1Password should check and alert me if my information, such as my password or email address, has been sold on the internet."
"Sometimes it fails to appear automatically, and you have to call it manually."
"The service could be improved incrementally to enhance programmatic access to the vault."
"There is a need for better environmental implementation, such as having a security fund as a solution."
"There is a potential improvement in connecting AWS Secrets Manager to Jenkins CI/CD pipeline to automatically reflect changes in production."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"We occasionally have problems with rate limits, although that is a problem more generally with AWS."
"An area for improvement in AWS Secrets Manager could be expanding integration options beyond AWS services."
"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."
"If you add one more layer of security to AWS Secrets Manager, even the programmer will not be able to see the secrets."
"There is room for improvement in terms of integrating with certain other platforms."
 

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."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"We purchase a monthly license for the product."
"I don't believe there is a license cost for the solution."
