Nice idea and execution but the interface isn't quite up to snuff.

  • April 28, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It can really be useful for getting hard coded passwords out of circulation. It's well thought out in terms of security and execution of the concept.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is horrible. Different buttons for functions show up incosistently. If you have a large list you either have to scroll all the way to the top or bottom. Buttons are not in both areas.

This badly needs a search function for entries. It quickly turns chaotic once it's used widely and not being able to see where a particular entry is used is very difficult to determine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's geting the passwords out of emails, chats and documents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It works very well and is a comprehensive product. That also means it's complicated. Like any other complicated software, the more you try to do with it, the more you need to plan use.

What do you dislike about the product?
The premium features require the premium plan of course, but the pricing is very high for the value IMO.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing secrets such as passwords, API keys, etc, and providing those easily through an API or the CLI

What do you like best about the product?
The set of the toolbox that the vault provides allows you to implement multiple requirements of security that a cloud-native architecture requires.

An audit trail is not intuitive and could be better implemented and user-friendly since this is a tool for security.

Vault A Game Changer In Secret Management

  • September 22, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Simple installation in a single binary. Adapt tokanization concept in whole process of the product. Support IaC approach to deploy the whole product and service. Robust plugin architecture enable integrate with other solutions too. In build integration of most famous cloud make vault a perfect match to manage cloud as well as onprems . On other hand vault work on standard set of API which can manipulate easily without any dependency. This will make the product highly customization and put change management on a automated workflow. Hashicorp do a nice job by making the vault OSS version and free of charge learning materials with ongoing community developments.
What do you dislike about the product?
Inconsistency of command and it is parameters make us confuse. They should have a standard on this. The documentation is there but not up to date. Most of the configuration example are missing. It is not cut and clear how we integrate the vault in day to day work for immature user. Hashicorp should think about this and improve the lack of up to date documentation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Securing the identity, access levels, manage rotatable secrets in devops workflow and implement encryption too in a single trusted authority. The dynamic secrets in the vault is a top graded feature in terms of securing sensitive data in SCM and logs. The automated token rotation is very helpful. Vault solve very common and critical problems like encryption, data masking, token validation and least privileges in one place without any additional tolls.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Your first impression will make think you it is a simple tool. But it's UI just tip of the iceberg. Explore more in API and CLI, think more in automation & secure manner to see the correct picture

Very rich functionality, but has some issue with a really big scale

  • July 25, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Rich set of options to control access (policies, groups), rich set of authorizations for users (e.g. oidc, leap) and for apps (kubernetes, approle).
Versioned KV storage for secrets.
Dynamic passwords for databases and etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Open Source version does not have replication of any kind.
Premium version has replication and disaster recovery, but replication sometimes has issues under big load.
Even in Premium version, you can find bugs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralized secrets storage for the whole organization. Integration with cloud, on-prem, and kubernetes. Dynamic passwords management for databases.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Follow the guidelines provided by HashiCorp. IF you have a premium version - don't hesitate to ask for a review of your setup.

Documentation is not up to mark, some more improvement in documentation can lower the entry barrier for users

Using Vault to secure Terraform code

  • October 31, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Vault is lightweight and easily installable.
The possibility of high availability.
Terraform integration with own resources.
Simple Web UI
API driven access/manage, could integrate with other software.
What do you dislike about the product?
The high learning curve.
Maybe the lack of an officicial Ansible Module (not only a Lookup Plugin)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vault has solved the problem of sharing passwords and AWS credentials. Now the code of Terraform could be safe in the Git repository. A vault it's easily up with Ansible.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Test Vault in Dev mode (in a Docker instance for example) and switch into production using it for every secret you have in code. Vault must your new front door, now.

Good experience but some keys features missing

  • October 27, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Secret as a Service (Dynamic secrets) and flexibility.
Good integration with multiple authentication provider. Good varities on Dynamic secrets and can be used with Encryption as a Service.
The installation and configuration is very easy. We can up and running a cluster in 1 day.
The rolling update is easy and we can quickly add more cluster nodes if needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Vault integration with project is leak.
We have one side the Vault agent, and other side the Consul template or envconsul. For example, envconsul didn't work with Vault agent auto-auth token.
It's hard sometime to use Vault because projects don't want (or haven't budget for) to develop Vault code lines integration.
The Vault UI is very basic. Some actions can't be done with the UI. Add more UI features for administration facilities.
Dynamic secrets is great but some time legacy application couldn't not use it. Should be great to have static secret with specific hook trigger to rotate password.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security needs in Cloud environment.
Projects migration from intranet to cloud to solve security issue with very sensitive data.
One tool for any environment (multi-cloud, intranet, etc).
Vault is used to add security in cloud like intranet and having control to encryption keys.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The most complicated part to start with Vault is to make all roles for any entity and to do the policies matching. In big companies, it's can be hard and take a lot of time. Starting with "Who will do What" is cost saving.
