PKI as a Service,

Best in class Product - but disappointed with the service

  • October 03, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the product and its working. It's quite easy to setup and start using effortlessly. There are very good enough documentations and tutorials on the internet to use vault precisely to meet your requirements. And it has almost all of the functionality you can expect from a secrets management product.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am very satisfied with the product. But I am not sure about the service. I wanted a demo and quotation of their product - So I did fill up the form for getting started with vault enterprise. I did not receive any sort of communication email from them - regarding the product or the demo. After I filled up the form - It did say that a demo will be provided. Still waiting for the same.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a password management product to use in our company. As we are using AWS and other products which require proper secrets management - It did fulfil all our requirements. And features like leasing & renewal, dynamic secrets, revocation are extremely useful(which we did not think of earlier).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
HashiCorp Vault is a very good product. Only I am not sure about the support and communication - If it's only me being ignored or it's same for most of us.

Compared against CyberArk for CI/CD Secrets

  • October 02, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Integration with Terraform was seamless.
What do you dislike about the product?
Web UI was lacking, and featureset for user secret management would be great to add.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We would like to leverage the dynamic secret function, with a focus on just in time authentication and short-lived access keys.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product, with a few user features still to come to compete with the likes of CyberArk and Secret Server.

My experience so far with HashiCorp's Vault software/platform

  • October 02, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Personally and Professionally.. So, far i think the best thing i like about the Vault product is secure secret storage for API Keys and dynamic secrets. Also, the sheer fact that we can also utilize this as our CA aka Certificate Authority is huge and extremely awesome! Besides that, we're enabling Docker/Kubernetes access via Vault, and this is a huge breakthrough for us as an organization that is redefining a lot of things in our industry, especially in IoT.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really dislike anything. However, if i had to specify one specific thing, i would have to say large data encryption. But, due to my limited knowledge i can't truly say it's a dislike. It's just taken some work with my minimal knowledge to get applications setup properly to encrypt all their data types and then storing it in specific locations. Please do not take this "Dislike" the wrong way though. This product works great in many scenarios and i have no regrets thus far either way. It's not a dislike per say, just a learning curve for some of the typical use cases.. but is still coming along just fine for us overall.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving a lot of problems.. secure storage of every type of secret you can imagine, from API keys, to encryption, to ssl certificates, and more. Dynamic secrets that the vault software generates on the fly is terrific! We can have on-premise applications access S3 style storage objects within Amazon Cloud (AWS) and within our own CEPH cluster. We also accomplish SQL Database access for various compliance reasons now with Dynamic Secrets that HashiCorp Vault gives us the ability to do, better than any other software i have utilized to date. Docker Access Rights. Centralized managed. Automated certificate generations, and still, i could go on and on (literally)! This software package overall is allowing us to accomplish so many things with one single point of management overall; i.e. PKI aka Public Key Infrastructure in across the board for our infrastructure and users (especially our development teams).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do your research but i highly recommend you AT LEAST evaluate HashiCorp Vault. Read up on it, do an implementation and at least one integration with something you already utilize in the cloud or on-prem and the product will start to speak for it self.. Honest to god truth!

What do you like best about the product?
Central place to store and manage secrets. consistent and reliable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Steep learning curve, but it's very usable once you get it up and running. Just tackle one small piece at a time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
automating and securing our internal certificate process. also storing secrets in vault instead of in metadata.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make use of Hashicorp's learing docs as well as any user group you can find for Vault

An all encompassing solution

  • October 02, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Vault is super flexible, and helps you implement from simple secrets management to dynamic credentials and a series of other operations with data encryption.
What do you dislike about the product?
Flexibility sometimes comes at the cost of complexity, implementing and managing Vault is not for the faint of heart.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure access to secrets for kubernetes workloads, dynamic credentials.
Once the initial setup is done, its easy for users to input secrets and make use of dynamic credentials in their apps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A steep learning curve shouldnt deter you from using this.
