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…

Quotes from Members

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

"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."
"Integrating with other services was straightforward, especially within the AWS environment."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Secrets Manager is its seamless integration with various AWS services."
"The most valuable feature is the management of credentials."
"The solution is very scalable."
"It's highly scalable, so I'd rate it a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is usability, as it is quite user-friendly."
"The support from the customer service team is good, they respond on time, and they always seem to be quite knowledgeable."
"The tool is secure, safe, reliable, and easy to use."

"It is very safe and we haven't had any security issues."
"The security provided is very enhanced and it does a great job of keeping passwords safe."
 

Cons

"AWS Secrets Manager could support hybrid infrastructure."
"We occasionally have problems with rate limits, although that is a problem more generally with AWS."
"If you add one more layer of security to AWS Secrets Manager, even the programmer will not be able to see the secrets."
"It would be good if the AWS Secrets Manager were more customizable."
"The sidecar feature has room for improvement."
"An area for improvement in AWS Secrets Manager could be expanding integration options beyond AWS services."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."

"It's a pretty technical solution. It's designed for more technical people."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't believe there is a license cost for the solution."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being competitive, I would rate the pricing of this solution as a five."
