Easy to manage and maintain the password API but stability could be improved
I would advise doing a Proof of Concept first and then deciding accordingly because your use case might be simple. You can try out AWS Key Management or Azure Key Vault. They are different products. Do the POC and then decide what you need. Overall, I would rate the solution a six out of ten. No solution is a ten in my opinion.
Parwiz ElmJo - PeerSpot reviewer
It's an inexpensive, scalable solution that has improved our security
We use Keeper to store passwords We previously kept our passwords in an Excel file. Using Keeper makes us more secure.  Keeper has strong security features.  The password rotation feature could be improved. I have used Keeper for three years. I rate Keeper eight out of 10 for stability.  I…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable. It has been working perfectly without any problem."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is the management of tickets in the pipeline."
"It can still be configured by a separate team other than developers. That's why I think it's more secure."
"We use the solution for secret management."
"The tool's dynamic rotation of the password credentials is good."
"It is user-friendly and easy to implement from any application point."
"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."
"For me, the most valuable features include that it's easy to manage and maintain the password API for retrieving passwords and other things."
"Keeper Bridge."
"I can access my passwords from any Internet connected device."
"It is very easy to use, intuitive, and cost effective."
"It has a secure password generator that incorporates random creation tools and good security practices, which allows for an easy, quick, organized update and sharing with a work team."
"Password sharing and SSO. These features almost become a necessity to make sure that company data is safe and reduce the possibility of data breach."
"​The installation and its use are very simple​."
"It saves us from duplicating passwords for different accounts."
"The ability to autofill the login credentials has saved me a lot of time in my day to day computing."
 

Cons

"An improvement needed is the ability for auto-initialization. There should be an inbuilt option for automatic initialization rather than running it manually."
"I would rate the stability a six out of ten. There are some bugs and glitches. We are in touch with the vendor to resolve them."
"I would like to see better integration of HashiCorp Vault with SAP products."
"There could be a plugin for the database to change the secret automatically. It would be an efficient feature for password security."
"It would be helpful to have more advanced features."
"The technical support was hard to get a hold of and lacking in service."
"A drawback for some clients who have to be PCI compliant is that they still need to use and subscribe to an HSM (Hardware Security Module) solution."
"The onboarding is a challenge. It should be more self-service, but it involves reviews and approvals."
"Search functions are sometimes weird."
"Needs to improve KeeperFill on iOS."
"Room for improvement in my eyes would be being able to share my credit cards and other types of information. The only thing they really share is passwords, and you can only do it with one password at a time. When you're trying to share it out or trying to remove it from being shared, you can't do multiple selections."
"I would love it if you didn't have to re-authenticate when you start up a new browser."
"The stability of the solution can be improved."
"The technical support has no experience."
"They could possibly add a pre-designed contact feature that would work similar to a cell phone contact feature."
"It would be nice to see this great tool integrate with other tools out there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 AWS version is much cheaper than HashiCorp Vault."
"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."
"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 solution's cost is reasonable."
"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
"Its price is reasonable."
"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."
"It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
