Secret storage and certificate management have been streamlined
I am not on the developer's end. I am primarily the main infrastructure person. I'm not sure what needs improvement. Sometimes, we face issues that the support team is not aware of, necessitating investigation from their end. For example, one of our certificates was not getting deployed, and during that time, the support team was unsure and had to connect with the back-end team for assistance. Improvements can be made in this area, however, it's understandable that not everything can be perfect.

Very good synchronization, good stability and good scalability
There are a few aspects of management that could be improved, however, I don't use them so much. It would be nice to have the solution localized in Europe. Dashlane is an American company. It's controlled by American laws and regulations that allows the American government to have full access to my data with Dashlane. That's why I am leaving Dashlane, because we can't accept such an important function in American control.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"All its features are really valuable. It's really well thought-out. It's a complete turnkey solution that has all the concerns taken care of, such as access control and management. You can use it in infrastructure as code to create key vaults, APIs, PowerShells, CLIs, even Terraform."
"I would say it's granular controller who can access them."
"The product's integration capabilities are good."
"The tool is highly secure and very easy to manage."
"Azure Key Vault's performance is excellent. It makes infrastructure management easier."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. It only took a few minutes."
"The best feature is the integrity of the .NET applications in our company."
"The solution's technical support is good. My company received support from Microsoft whenever we needed it."
"The synchronization is the solution's most valuable feature. It works really well. The ability to have secure notes is also very helpful."
"Dashlane's most valuable feature is Hotspot Shield, the VPN feature that allows you to connect securely to public wifi."
"The integration capabilities have been good."
"I like the ability to share passwords without them being visible to other team members. The auto-fill capabilities are great too."
 

Cons

"The solution could be cheaper."
"I would rate the stability of Microsoft Azure Key Vault an eight out of ten. We use the solution in the data science field. If there is some outage, we did not notice any prolonged outage which would affect our business significantly while working with it."
"The solution's usage can be a little better from the user interface point of view."
"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."
"The voucher access policy can be improved by configuring it based on groups, rather than just applications or users."
"The slow response from the support team is one of the shortcomings of the solution that needs to be improved."
"I would suggest making the user interface a bit more friendly."
"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."
"There should also be an easier way to be able to transfer user data to other users who have kind of left the company."
"It would be nice to have the solution localized in Europe. Dashlane is an American company. It's controlled by American laws and regulations that allows the American government to have full access to my data with Dashlane. That's why I am leaving Dashlane, because we can't accept such an important function in American control."
"The cost, while decent, of course, could always be less."
"The integration with the VPN feature could be smoother."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten."
"Azure is cheaper than CyberArk... CyberArk is good, but it's quite expensive."
"Currently, the tool's monthly licensing costs are around 1,800 USD for all the environments combined, including the production and pre-production environments."
"You don't need to pay for a license for Azure Key Vault. It is billed on a pay-as-you-go basis."
"It is a cheap option."
"The price of the solution is reasonable for what we are using it for."
"The pricing is decent. It has a pretty low price. It is a straightforward cost based on usage."
"The product is affordable, in my opinion."
"It is a little bit on the expensive side."
