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.

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

"It is a good product to consider for companies who are looking to build on-premise or hybrid infrastructure."
"It is user-friendly and easy to implement from any application point."
"This solution is easy to use and to integrate."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is the management of tickets in the pipeline."
"We were using it because we have compliance requirements around secret management. Having a secure vault and encrypting data was an additional requirement. When we looked at it first, we were just looking for a vault, like a lockbox. The greatest benefit of HashiCorp is its ability to manage encryption on the fly. It provides encryption of data at rest, in use, in transit, on the fly, and linked with applications, which was really attractive."
"We use the solution for secret management."
"The tool's dynamic rotation of the password credentials is good."
"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 was user-friendly."
"I like the tool's keyword editor and SSO."
"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."
"A useful solution for storing encryption keys, programming and developing a SaaS platform."
"Chrome extension and app."
"It saves us from duplicating passwords for different accounts."
"It keeps my passwords organized and safe."
"Keeper Bridge."
 

Cons

"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 product is complicated to install."
"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."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"The solution could be much easier to implement."
"In my opinion, HashiCorp Vault could improve its user interface. Right now, they don't offer much in terms of a graphical interface, which means you usually have to manage things manually through API calls. I think CyberArk has a better approach because it provides a UI that integrates features across all its components, making it easier, especially for new users or those from organizations with strict licensing policies."
"Needs to provide an API to be integrated with the information systems and offer secure file hosting service with sharing and editing capabilities."
"Maybe a sort of category organizer to help with organizing passwords for different things, such as banking, medical, shopping, and school."
"I would love it if you didn't have to re-authenticate when you start up a new browser."
"It would be nice to see this great tool integrate with other tools out there."
"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."
"Search functions are sometimes weird."
"The stability of the solution can be improved."
"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"
 

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 product is expensive."
"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 AWS version is much cheaper than HashiCorp Vault."
"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."
"Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"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."
"ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
