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.

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 of the solution is the search for secrets feature that we use to store our passwords and connection strings."
"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."
"The platform has a valuable feature for seamless integration."
"The platform provides straightforward integration with most of the other Azure services."
"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's technical support is good. My company received support from Microsoft whenever we needed it."
"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."
"Enables IT department to force very complex passwords for certain users."
"It is very easy to install and setup."
"It has a double authentication factor increasing the security level."
"​The installation and its use are very simple​."
"The possibility of assigning information to different groups and individuals has been the most valuable."
"The ability to autofill the login credentials has saved me a lot of time in my day to day computing."
"Auto login across platforms allows for no copying and pasting."
"I can access my passwords from any Internet connected device."
 

Cons

"The integration with Thales HSM is complex and is not out-of-the-box. Uploading the keys was quite a tedious process."
"If you check the capabilities of other key management services across Amazon, HashiCorp, and Google, there are features that Key Vault doesn't have. It could be the case that when you use Key Vault, you might be forced to use a third-party solution to get certain services. If those services could be included in Key Vault, there would be diminished reasons to go for a third-party key management system."
"If the region where the Azure Key Vault data center is hosted goes down, it would be a cumbersome task since our company will have to come up with a different Azure Key Vault and migrate all the secrets or keys into it."
"One area for improvement is the notification system for secret expiration. It would be beneficial if the service could handle this more autonomously, eliminating the need for additional integrations."
"I would like more code examples."
"The big problem with Azure Key Vault is key rotation. We haven't found a good way to synchronize the credentials between the databases and Key Vault."
"There's room for improvement in cross-platform compatibility."
"There are additional charges for data transfers. However, the pricing is mostly reasonable for the licensing overall."
"Ability to store 'files' from IOS & Android devices. You can store pics from these devices currently. Most file formats can be uploaded from PC's/Macs"
"They could possibly add a pre-designed contact feature that would work similar to a cell phone contact feature."
"Needs to improve KeeperFill on iOS."
"I would love it if you didn't have to re-authenticate when you start up a new browser."
"The organization of items needs improvement. For example, when I log onto the cloud version as well, everything is shown on my folder. It is hard to differentiate between files and documents in my list of items I have stored inside."
"Rearranging folders via drag/drop functionality would be very helpful."
"The stability of the solution can be improved."
"Search functions are sometimes weird."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Currently, the solution's pricing is based on the number of transactions, which is very high in some cases."
"It is less expensive compared to other competitors."
"The price of the solution is reasonable for what we are using it for."
"The product has good pricing."

"Just buy the yearly subscription."

"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
