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…

Allows us to securely store our keys to prevent unauthorized access to unwanted users
The solution has improved our organization. It allows us to securely store our keys to prevent unauthorized access to unwanted users. We have applications that are stored in a large volume of data. If an unwanted user wants to access the application, it prompts for the key. The solution has positively affected our end-user experience because our applications are being accessed through APIs from different geographies, different locations, and different users. Azure is good at authenticating only the real users. It provides a good user experience because the authentication is done within seconds. Data is our top priority. All of the keys are secured in an encrypted way, so it provides a return on investment to our organization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is security."
"1Password helps to generate unique passwords that you do not need to remember."
"1Password is very secure for storing all my passwords, keys, and secrets for work."
"The solution's most valuable features are its password management security and cloud firewall."
"The platform provides straightforward integration with most of the other Azure services."
"The best feature is the integrity of the .NET applications in our company."
"The security on offer seems to be quite good."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to store secrets securely and encrypt them. It is pretty easy and straightforward to use."
"A high level of security."
"It provides a secure and centralized location for managing and protecting sensitive information, making it an essential component for enhancing the security."
"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Key Vault is its ease of use."
"We use Azure Key Vault for securing secret connection streams, like API secrets, Azure services Secret Key, and AD Client Secret."
 

Cons

"We faced issues while integrating 1Password into JumpCloud."
"The service could be improved incrementally to enhance programmatic access to the vault."
"Sometimes it fails to appear automatically, and you have to call it manually."
"1Password should check and alert me if my information, such as my password or email address, has been sold on the internet."
"Azure has great documentation, but I would like to see more use cases pertaining to specific industries. For example, case studies on how to use HIPAA compliant solutions in the healthcare industry or how to use PCI compliant data analytics solutions in the financial technology industry would be helpful."
"We encountered a few problems where Azure had infrastructure problems like the DMS."
"To make it a ten the setup should be more streamlined."
"If I consider how some people complain that a solution to store information should be available at a low cost, I would say that Azure Key Vault's price should be made cheaper."
"It would be great if Azure allowed more third-party vendors into the ecosystem."
"Inability to access the solution on the phone."
"It needs to offer dynamic secrets management."
"Microsoft Azure Key Vault could improve by enhancing the security of credentials. Without the security or the use of key vaults, we would have to configure our credentials into the source code as plain text without the encryption or security."
