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…

Helps with password management and sharing
We use the solution for password management and sharing passwords. It's mainly for password security.  I like the tool's keyword editor and SSO.  Keeper does not provide password management for mobile apps.  I have been working with the solution for a couple of months.  We haven't faced any…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is security."
"Integrating with other services was straightforward, especially within the AWS environment."
"The solution is very scalable."
"It's highly scalable, so I'd rate it a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Secrets Manager is its seamless integration with various AWS services."
"The most valuable feature is usability, as it is quite user-friendly."
"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."
"The API is fine and works well."
"I like the tool's keyword editor and SSO."
"I can access my passwords from any Internet connected device."
"It saves us from duplicating passwords for different accounts."
"i have only one password to remember, which is the one to get me into Keeper."
"I like a couple of things about this solution. Being able to share passwords with other people is valuable. You can see if the information is out on the dark web and whether you have weak passwords and the last time they were changed. You could also have the 2FA or MFA codes embedded in the application so that you don't have to use your phone or any other 2FA device, which is something very important."
"We can access our sign-ins and passwords on up to five devices per user. This means I can access a given site and my login and password for that site from my home and office computers as well as my phone and iPad."
"It is very easy to use, intuitive, and cost effective."
"Available for Windows platforms and also Mac OS and Linux systems."
 

Cons

"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 the pricing model."
"There is a need for better environmental implementation, such as having a security fund as a solution."
"The sidecar feature has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in terms of integrating with certain other platforms."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"It would be good if the AWS Secrets Manager were more customizable."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"Its aesthetic needs improvement."
"Rearranging folders via drag/drop functionality would be very helpful."
"I would like to see a way to store files and photos in the next update​. If it already does this, I have yet to explore it."
"The password rotation feature could be improved."
"Keeper does not provide password management for mobile apps."
"The technical support for this solution could be faster support and improved if they had a better understanding of my questions."
"Ability to set up password profiles that can predefine custom fields and password complexity."
"They could possibly add a pre-designed contact feature that would work similar to a cell phone contact feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"We purchase a monthly license for the product."
"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."
"I don't believe there is a license cost for the solution."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"Its price is reasonable."
