Useful for machine-to-machine communication and has secret engine feature
The feature I find most beneficial in HashiCorp Vault is the secret engine. It integrates smoothly with many applications, making it easy to set up and implement quickly. This allows you to test it easily and see good results rapidly. When you integrate an internal API or application, it quickly manages that application's secrets. The access management feature in HashiCorp is great, especially if you are considering situations where users are getting onboarded. They can manage their passwords themselves, and it integrates well with Active Directory or any other directory services. This is particularly useful for user management and applications that communicate with each other without human intervention.

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 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."
"The local administrator can manage all the user's logins in one, simple, straight-away account access. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly."
"It can still be configured by a separate team other than developers. That's why I think it's more secure."
"It is a good product to consider for companies who are looking to build on-premise or hybrid infrastructure."
"For me, the most valuable features include that it's easy to manage and maintain the password API for retrieving passwords and other things."
"The solution is stable. It has been working perfectly without any problem."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is that it's an open source solution. Second, it's cloud agnostic, so it's very easy to maintain and control, which is why we prefer HashiCorp."
"The product is free and easy to use. It is well documented with an easy implementation process."
"It is an added value for our customers to have a Secrets Management workflow available that is PaaS/CaaS/KaaS Platform agnostic."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is the management of tickets in the pipeline."
 

Cons

"The product contains some bugs."
"You need to improvise many of the customized rules, which can lead to some errors. BeyondTrust should reduce the error rate."
"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."
"I don't think there are any major improvements required—so far, so good. However, I think that having more training materials, such as videos, and documentation available would be helpful. I would prefer to have more videos available either on the official site or on YouTube."
"The solution could be much easier to implement."
"The documentation is very general; it should have more examples and more use cases."
"The product needs to improve its customization. It should be also more like easy to plug and play."
"The onboarding is a challenge. It should be more self-service, but it involves reviews and approvals."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"It would be helpful to have more advanced features."
"We could use more documentation, primarily to do with integrations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license required to use BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe."
"It could do everything we wanted it to do and it is brilliant, but it is super pricey. To be fair to HashiCorp, we drove the price up with our requirements around resiliency. Because of the nature of our company, we don't really operate in the cloud."
"The product is expensive."
"I am using the open-source version of Vault and I would have to buy a license if I want to get support."
"The AWS version is much cheaper than HashiCorp Vault."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"In my case, the open-source version works well. It's advisable for small to medium-scale organizations, but for large-scale organizations, you should go with the enterprise version."
