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 is highly secure and very easy to manage."
"With Azure Key Vault, we can generate our own keys and then import them inside the system, which provides a higher level of security than provider-managed keys."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to store secrets securely and encrypt them. It is pretty easy and straightforward to use."
"Among the features that have helped improve our security posture are storing secrets in a secure location to create a trusted situation, trusted resources, and incorporating identity access management so that we know who has access to what."
"I am satisfied with the product overall."
"A high level of security."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. It only took a few minutes."
"The local administrator can manage all the user's logins in one, simple, straight-away account access. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe are the ease of use and the API is very nice. Additionally, the interface is very good between AD and Unix."
"A sophisticated and mature solution."
"DevOps Secrets Safe allows you to customize a lot of rules."
 

Cons

"They should improve its policies, which sometimes reapplied but don't sync properly between the Key vault and the role-based access. When I put some roles on the user side, it sometimes misses the end data to secure."
"Better integration with other third-party cloud providers, such as AWS and GCP, should be there. That's something I expect from a Microsoft-built product."
"There are additional charges for data transfers. However, the pricing is mostly reasonable for the licensing overall."
"The solution does not allow you to integrate with XML parties if it is not inside Azure itself."
"I can see that other people are doing the infrastructure as code, they are able to easily manage and cycle their passwords as needed using their own interface they created. It would be nice if Microsoft provided more guidance in that area."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve reliability and protection."
"Azure needs to provide versions of Key Vault that are suitable for different sizes of companies."
"The product contains some bugs."
"We had some issues with the solution and once we contacted support they eventually solved the problem. They could improve their response time."
"The support for the solution is not very good, they could improve by being quicker."
"You need to improvise many of the customized rules, which can lead to some errors. BeyondTrust should reduce the error rate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is less expensive compared to other competitors."
"The product has good pricing."
"Pricing is quite reasonable and support is included, although premium support is available for an additional fee."
"We use a pay-as-you-go license for the solution, which is not very expensive."
"The price isn't high. Any sized organization could easily adopt it. The first 250 keys are available for $5 per month."
"You don't need to pay for a license for Azure Key Vault. It is billed on a pay-as-you-go basis."
"The product is affordable, in my opinion."
"I give the price of the solution a ten out of ten."
"There is an annual license required to use BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe."
