Anand-Awasthi - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers dynamic secrets and certificate management for proactive security measures
The best features in HashiCorp Vault are its dynamic certificate management and dynamic secret management, which are the key features that use data effectively. These are very targeted use cases that cut across multiple solutions. I have utilized Vault's encryption capabilities for securing data in transit and at rest, especially for dynamically consuming database encryption, which covers the requirements of various scenarios where databases do not have encryption capability. HashiCorp Vault provides security by rotating the keys and taking all the burden of securing the data from the database. These are key core features that many users employ in this solution. Vault's audit logs provide insights into access patterns and help ensure compliance. These facilities are configurable, and the logs are encrypted, ensuring that anything recorded in the logs is secure. We could use systems that comply with specific standards for audit logging and scanning, especially when working with them. The benefits from HashiCorp Vault include significant advantages in security lifecycle management itself. The value becomes apparent when security incidents occur. It has substantial value in proactively protecting from adverse situations, providing resilience and appreciation by customers in complete security lifecycle management solutions for core infrastructure applications.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is an added value for our customers to have a Secrets Management workflow available that is PaaS/CaaS/KaaS Platform agnostic."
"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."
"We use the solution for secret management."
"The tool's dynamic rotation of the password credentials is good."
"It is a good product to consider for companies who are looking to build on-premise or hybrid infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is version control."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is version control."
"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."
"Keeper has strong security features."
"The possibility of assigning information to different groups and individuals has been the most valuable."
"The ability to share credentials easily and securely was a big improvement."
"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."
"It is very easy to install and setup."
"I like a couple of things about this solution. Being able to share passwords with other people is valuable. You can see if the information is out on the dark web and whether you have weak passwords and the last time they were changed. You could also have the 2FA or MFA codes embedded in the application so that you don't have to use your phone or any other 2FA device, which is something very important."
"It keeps my passwords organized and safe."
"​The installation and its use are very simple​."
 

Cons

"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."
"It would be helpful to have more advanced features."
"I would like to see better integration of HashiCorp Vault with SAP products."
"The onboarding is a challenge. It should be more self-service, but it involves reviews and approvals."
"The technical support was hard to get a hold of and lacking in service."
"The solution could be much easier to implement."
"The product needs to improve its customization. It should be also more like easy to plug and play."
"The product is complicated to install."
"I would add a category for personal documents or photos of ID cards."
"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."
"The technical support has no experience."
"Keeper does not provide password management for mobile apps."
"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"
"Search functions are sometimes weird."
"It would be nice to see this great tool integrate with other tools out there."
"The stability of the solution can be improved."
 

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."
"I am using the open-source version of Vault and I would have to buy a license if I want to get support."
"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 solution's cost is reasonable."
"The product is expensive."
"The AWS version is much cheaper than HashiCorp Vault."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"Its price is reasonable."
"It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
