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.

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

"Azure Key Vault is very affordable, with charges of less than a dollar for over ten thousand keys."
"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."
"The solution can scale up as needed."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Key Vault is the secret storage of data."
"The centralized storage and secure storage are features we like."
"This solution speeds up the product development life cycle. That is, the time from the development of the product to the time to market is drastically reduced because of the CI/CD pipelines. You can have your code deployed within a matter of minutes."
"The solution uses the encryption technique to store the secret information data that uses EPCE. There is also one feature that monitors Azure Key Vault."
"The integration capabilities have been good."
"The synchronization is the solution's most valuable feature. It works really well. The ability to have secure notes is also very helpful."
"I like the ability to share passwords without them being visible to other team members. The auto-fill capabilities are great too."
"Dashlane's most valuable feature is Hotspot Shield, the VPN feature that allows you to connect securely to public wifi."
 

Cons

"The platform's configuration process could be easier."
"Many times, the first round of support itself will fail, and they will bring some more competent people in the subsequent support. So it gets into a hierarchical mode. By then, we will lose a good amount of time. The technical support needs improvement."
"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."
"We've experienced issues with configuration."
"They should add a key vault feature for the databases temporarily integrated into hybrid clouds."
"It is complicated to use different services and products along with Azure Key Vault."
"The solution needs to improve its cost."
"Azure Key Vault is only available for Microsoft services, and it should be exposed to non-Microsoft cloud services, like GCP and Amazon."
"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."
"There should also be an easier way to be able to transfer user data to other users who have kind of left the company."
"The integration with the VPN feature could be smoother."
"The cost, while decent, of course, could always be less."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Currently, the tool's monthly licensing costs are around 1,800 USD for all the environments combined, including the production and pre-production environments."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten."
"The price isn't high. Any sized organization could easily adopt it. The first 250 keys are available for $5 per month."
"Azure is cheaper than CyberArk... CyberArk is good, but it's quite expensive."
"It is a cheap option."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive."
"I find the pricing of Azure Key Vault to be reasonable."
"The product has good pricing."
"It is a little bit on the expensive side."
