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.

Helps to build invoices but needs to improve the issue with bugs
I use the solution to build invoices for tenants or vendors.  The tool has bugs and breaks down at times.  I have been using Zoho Vault for a long time.  I would rate the tool's stability a seven out of ten.  I would rate Zoho Vault's scalability a seven out of ten. My company has 20-30 users…

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 version control."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is the management of tickets in the pipeline."
"It is a good product to consider for companies who are looking to build on-premise or hybrid infrastructure."
"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."
"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."
"The product is free and easy to use. It is well documented with an easy implementation process."
"It's stable. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."
"I use the solution to build invoices for tenants or vendors."
 

Cons

"There could be a plugin for the database to change the secret automatically. It would be an efficient feature for password security."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"The technical support was hard to get a hold of and lacking in service."
"The solution could be much easier to implement."
"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."
"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 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 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 tool has bugs and breaks down at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The AWS version is much cheaper than HashiCorp Vault."
"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."
"Zoho Vault is cheap."
