Effortless Setup, Needs Enhanced Features
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the Akeyless Identity Security Platform has an easy-to-understand architecture and the initial setup is easy. There's no overhead of maintaining local infrastructure, and it saves time and money by allowing us to bring Akeyless onboard and retire our previous PAM tool. The free training, documentation, and guidance from the Akeyless team made it convenient to deal with initial challenges.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are many such things, a few of them are - no desktop client for Windows still available, the plugin and the web interface have some issues, and some features are still not available as requested or as per industry standard. We put suppose cases and feature requests and it would be great if those cases were taken care of quickly. Some may take time, which we understand, but no SLA it seems. It would be better to deliver a request within a month or at least within a quarter.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Akeyless Identity Security Platform to store and rotate secrets, which saves us time and money. It simplifies periodic rotation of service account secrets, helping us consolidate tools by offering an easier setup without infrastructure maintenance overhead.
Easy, Plug-and-Play Experience
What do you like best about the product?
Easy use of the product basicly plug and play
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes we have issues with the software overlay with the password fields and it is then hard to see your password in the field you are typing in
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quicker roll out of these features some of your competitors are slower in rolling out their software and ease of use
Zero-Knowledge Security with Strong Cryptography and Advanced RBAC
What do you like best about the product?
Zero knowledge Security and strong cryptography
Advance RBAC and access controls
Focus mainly on machine, workload and non human identities (NHI)
What do you dislike about the product?
Some minor glitches on Akeyless UI which can be improved based on feedback.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Main issue it is helping to solve is the scattered non human identities presence in infrastructure will be managed centrally using Akeyless Security Platform.
Latency on getting the secrets is vey low.

Akeyless DFC Keeps Encryption Keys Truly Distributed and Secure
What do you like best about the product?
As Akeyless uses Distributed Fragments Cryptography™ (DFC), ensuring:
No single party including Akeyless can reconstruct full encryption key
What do you dislike about the product?
I didnt found any such issues with the platform
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secret Sprawl & Lack of Visibility -Akeyless centralizes all secrets—static, dynamic, and short-lived—into a unified SaaS platform. This eliminates shadow secrets, reduces breach exposure, and provides full visibility & auditability
Highly Secure Service Account Key Management with Centralized Auditing
What do you like best about the product?
It's multicloud which is beneficial as we operate across the big three. The fact it's a SaaS helps too, as Akeyless manage the infra and we manage the identities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing immediately comes to mind. I haven't noticed any glaring issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows us to be highly secure with our usage of Service Account Keys. Rather than directly generating long lived Keys within cloud platforms directly, they're all created via Akeyless. This allows for a single pane of glass view, easier auditing and we can set maximum rotation periods.
Fragment-Free Architecture and Real-Time Credential Management That Boost Security
What do you like best about the product?
It’s a great relief to have its master fragment-free architecture, which helps guarantee security. On the other hand, I’d also highlight its excellent ability to manage dynamic credentials in real time.
What do you dislike about the product?
It requires an initial adaptation period to master all its identity functionalities
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It’s a modern and secure platform. It has benefited me a lot by centralizing multi-cloud security under a single, unified identity scheme, which makes everything feel more consistent and easier to manage.
Short‑lived secrets have transformed our cloud access and now greatly reduce credential risk
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Akeyless Secrets Management is using the static and dynamic secrets functionality. Rather than using static keys within cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP, we use Akeyless Secrets Management to generate short-lived access credentials to then authenticate to cloud environments.
We also use Akeyless Secrets Management when integrating with third-party tools. When an integration needs to occur between one of our public clouds and a third-party vendor, you would sometimes have to put in a static key on the third-party tool's side. Rather than using a JSON key created directly on a cloud platform, we create it via Akeyless Secrets Management and then enable automatic rotation and upload that onto the third-party tool provider website. This applies to both code-based and UI-based use cases.
What is most valuable?
I appreciate that Akeyless Secrets Management offers the ability for secrets to be automatically rotated. When interacting with it via code, Akeyless Secrets Management automatically rotates secrets to increase security. Additionally, I understand that Akeyless Secrets Management does not store the entire secret in one string on their side. The secret is split across different servers, which is extremely secure.
The rotation of secrets aspect of Akeyless Secrets Management is excellent. It allows for much higher security and there is a great reduction in potential exploits or attacks to our infrastructure because it is very difficult to get compromised credentials when they rotate so regularly. Akeyless Secrets Management splitting secrets in terms of their storage also means that even if an attacker were to infiltrate Akeyless Secrets Management's infrastructure, it would be extremely difficult if not impossible to get the full credentials. This security is excellent for us and also for our customers.
Using Akeyless Secrets Management has greatly increased our security posture, which is excellent and definitely reduces the risk of potential attacks or exploits. From a security-specific perspective, this is excellent when looking at things like data security. It has improved our data security posture. In terms of financial governance, if we were to be exploited in cloud environments, costs can very quickly ramp up. Using Akeyless Secrets Management actually saves potential costs as well.
What needs improvement?
I do not believe there are any improvements needed for Akeyless Secrets Management. It works excellently for what it aims to do. The UI on Akeyless Secrets Management is also very easy to use, which is important because engineers across a business would use this. It is not just one team that uses it; everyone would use it. Akeyless Secrets Management achieves its aims perfectly.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Akeyless Secrets Management for two years.
What other advice do I have?
Akeyless Secrets Management was not purchased through the AWS Marketplace. It was purchased directly with the vendor, but it interacts with AWS because it links with the AWS cloud.
I would recommend others to use Akeyless Secrets Management. It is a brilliant security platform. It is very easy to use. It does exactly what it says it should. I would highly recommend people to use it.
I would say the risk reduction of the compromise of long-lived static credentials is over fifty percent, which is excellent because if every static credential is created through Akeyless Secrets Management, it greatly reduces the risk. Arguably it would be somewhere between fifty to ninety-nine percent.
I have given this product a rating of ten out of ten.
