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.
SANJAY HASIJA - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable and easy-to-manage tool that needs to provide more integration with other applications
Something can be better because StorMagic SvKMS has not reached FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Compliance, which can only come with the hardware-encrypted card. With a whole lot of other applications that generate encryption keys, which is an ongoing process, StorMagic SvKMS has a limitation in terms of the number of applications it can integrate with or it can store their encryption key for because it has to integrate with that tool, which is generating the encryption key or the application elsewhere. StorMagic SvKMS may feel limited to certain applications since it is not fully ready to give encryption to all the applications. The feature I want in the solution is that it should provide more integration with the applications. I also want to see the solution have FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Compliance, which is the hardware card the customers look for at the end of the day.

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 is that you can retrieve user account details from the cloud."
"The solution's technical support is good. My company received support from Microsoft whenever we needed it."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Key Vault are the security and convenience of changing passwords in multiple places."
"The platform has a valuable feature for seamless integration."
"It allows me to run applications using these certificates without directly installing them."
"Azure Key Vault is very affordable, with charges of less than a dollar for over ten thousand keys."
"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Key Vault is its ease of use."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. It only took a few minutes."
"It is a scalable solution, and there is no limit. With StorMagic SvKMS, one can go up to hundreds or thousands of users easily."
 

Cons

"Inability to access the solution on the phone."
"The voucher access policy can be improved by configuring it based on groups, rather than just applications or users."
"While it's very reliable in terms of stability, there's always room for improvement."
"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."
"Azure has great documentation, but I would like to see more use cases pertaining to specific industries. For example, case studies on how to use HIPAA compliant solutions in the healthcare industry or how to use PCI compliant data analytics solutions in the financial technology industry would be helpful."
"The solution needs to improve reliability and protection."
"Sometimes, we face issues that the support team is not aware of, necessitating investigation from their end."
"The initial setup could be less complex for first-time users."
"StorMagic SvKMS has a limitation in terms of the number of applications it can integrate with or it can store their encryption key for because it has to integrate with that tool, which is generating the encryption key or the application elsewhere."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is neither cheap nor expensive."
"We use a pay-as-you-go license for the solution, which is not very expensive."
"Azure is cheaper than CyberArk... CyberArk is good, but it's quite expensive."
"The pricing is decent. It has a pretty low price. It is a straightforward cost based on usage."
"The product has good pricing."
"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 of the solution is reasonable for what we are using it for."
"The solution is priced reasonably, making it neither cheap nor expensive. Payments have to be made on a yearly basis toward the solution's licensing costs. There are no additional costs apart from the solution's licensing costs."
