AKASHGUPTA3 - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Stefano Maffei - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-use tool that offers its users strong security on the password management front
In my company, we use the solution's dictionary rule to see the availability of passwords or for the integration to other external systems with two-factor authentication The most valuable feature of the solution is that it's a standard product to help our customers implement a solution and to…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the solution for secret management."
"This solution is easy to use and to integrate."
"The product is free and easy to use. It is well documented with an easy implementation process."
"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."
"It is a good product to consider for companies who are looking to build on-premise or hybrid infrastructure."
"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 version control."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is the management of tickets in the pipeline."
"It is an absolutely scalable solution...The product is easy to install."
"The solution is very customizable."
"It is extremely simple to integrate with various systems, including OTP, passwords, and so on because everything is based on our environment."
"What I found most valuable in One Identity Password Manager is its easy use. It's a flexible solution. It also supports many languages, including Arabic."
"Password Manager is very effective at helping users reset their passwords."
"It does have advantages over the other products that we are seeing. Other products don't have the out-of-the-box OTP option, whereas One Identity Password Manager has the out-of-the-box OTP option. It also has a cloud-based solution for generating OTPs. So, the customers can either opt for their own SMS gateway, or they can use the One Identity OTP option where they don't have to have an SMS gateway. With other products, customers must have their own SMS gateway."
"It provides seamless integration with different types of password modules like temporary access passcode and MFA."
"One Identity Password Manager is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"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."
"The documentation is very general; it should have more examples and more use cases."
"An improvement needed is the ability for auto-initialization. There should be an inbuilt option for automatic initialization rather than running it manually."
"It would be helpful to have more advanced features."
"There could be a plugin for the database to change the secret automatically. It would be an efficient feature for password security."
"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."
"If there is a self-service option to update the mobile number, it will be much more useful."
"One Identity Password Manager could improve the integration with other technology, it is complex for integrating. There needs to be more connectors or adapters. There is limited out-of-the-box customization."
"The improvement required is an increase in the number of people who manage the product's support team."
"An area for improvement in One Identity Password Manager is the management gap since Quest is no longer under Dell, and One Identity is under Quest. The management gap resulted in poor support, which needs improvement."
"There is a need for better Windows Eleven compatibility, especially for resetting passwords before login."
"The UI needs improvement to match any other standard password manager because it's not very intuitive right now."
"The software is complex on the backend, and there isn't enough documentation."
"I would like it to be more secure in terms of password storage."
 

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."
"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."
"Its price is on the cheaper side. It has a perpetual license, and everything is included in the license. You only have to pay separately for the SMS gateway or the OTP part."
"The price of One Identity Password Manager is average. There are other solutions that are more expensive, such as ARCON and others that are less expensive."
"Though the solution's price is reasonable, it depends on the number of users operating at the customer's end."
"It is not that expensive, as far as I recall. It was approximately $1.50 USD per user or something like that."
"The licensing for One Identity Password Manager depends on the customer's requirement. For example, it could be one year, or it could be three years. In general, One Identity Password Manager is not an expensive product. Pricing for it is competitive."
