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 feature of HashiCorp Vault is the management of tickets in the pipeline."
"This solution is easy to use and to integrate."
"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 solution is stable. It has been working perfectly without any problem."
"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 tool's dynamic rotation of the password credentials is good."
"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."
"It is very safe and we haven't had any security issues."
"It is user-friendly. Someone who doesn’t have a lot of IT knowledge can work with the product easily."
"The security provided is very enhanced and it does a great job of keeping passwords safe."
"The support from the customer service team is good, they respond on time, and they always seem to be quite knowledgeable."
"The tool is secure, safe, reliable, and easy to use."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to see better integration of HashiCorp Vault with SAP products."
"We could use more documentation, primarily to do with integrations."
"The product needs to improve its customization. It should be also more like easy to plug and play."
"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 onboarding is a challenge. It should be more self-service, but it involves reviews and approvals."
"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."
"The documentation is very general; it should have more examples and more use cases."
"It's a pretty technical solution. It's designed for more technical people."
"The user interface could be improved and made more user friendly."
"There is room for improvement in making the UI more user-friendly."
 

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."
"The AWS version is much cheaper than HashiCorp Vault."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"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."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being competitive, I would rate the pricing of this solution as a five."
