We performed a comparison between AWS Secrets Manager and LastPass based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Password Managers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."AWS Secrets Manager is used for storing secret information that has to be a secret from your customer and your employees."
"The most valuable feature is the management of credentials."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Secrets Manager is the ability to keep data secret and assign access permissions to people to grant or restrict access."
"All our workloads are running on AWS, so integration with our workload is much easier on AWS Secrets Manager than going with another solution such as Thycotic."
"It's highly scalable, so I'd rate it a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Secrets Manager is its seamless integration with various AWS services."
"Integrating with other services was straightforward, especially within the AWS environment."
"The most valuable feature is usability, as it is quite user-friendly."
"The stability has been rock solid. A couple of years ago, they were breached. However, if you had two-factor authentication enabled, it didn't affect you. We did, so it has been good."
"The initial setup for this process is straightforward and extremely easy. It just works."
"It's always hard to put a value on return on investment. You avoid one breach and it's paid for a million times over. We got a penetration test company internally, just to see how secure our network is, and there happened to be one bit of software that had been overlooked by an external company that managed it. It hadn't been upgraded so that managed to get them into the network. They would've been able to access through the test thing a file that we had previously. If that was a real-life scenario they would have been able to get into our network and get full access to our organization's passwords. If they did get in, they would have gotten access to the cloud. The ROI we see is that we are completely secured compared to what we had previously where there was a vulnerability."
"Scalability is fine, no issues with that, especially now that they have added different user-level permissions. That has made it a lot easier to delegate out certain features to have other people do."
"The most valuable feature for me is being able to pair applications and user permissions."
"It's improved security; we don't have to worry about people storing password loosely and secure them."
"Off-boarding of people is easy without changing shared account passwords."
"Tech support has been good. We haven't needed it much, because it is not a complex application. There is not that much you have to do with it."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"We occasionally have problems with rate limits, although that is a problem more generally with AWS."
"There is a need for better environmental implementation, such as having a security fund as a solution."
"There is room for improvement in terms of integrating with certain other platforms."
"The sidecar feature has room for improvement."
"An area for improvement in AWS Secrets Manager could be expanding integration options beyond AWS services."
"It would be good if the AWS Secrets Manager were more customizable."
"If you add one more layer of security to AWS Secrets Manager, even the programmer will not be able to see the secrets."
"The ability to set up an account expiration limit/date would be very useful."
"We have issues from time to time where, for some reason, it just keeps auto logging-out the user and then, the next day, they'll come in and it will work just fine."
"It is not super feature laden. It does not stand out versus the competition."
"Its user interface should be better, and there should probably be more information about scalability."
"I also don't like the add-in for Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, because when you do the add-in, you can actually save that to your credentials in your IE, and the problem is, if I left my screen open, or any of the IT people leave their screen open someone could come up and access all their credentials in LastPass without having to put a password in within your own network. I don't like that functionality. We've banned that from any of our staff adding that as an add-in because we see that as a security risk."
"I would like to be able to reduce the log out time of the session."
"I struggle a little bit with the mobile app. As a browser extension, it works really well, and we are able to get to what we need to. However, on the phone, it's not quite as easy to navigate."
"One thing I wish LastPass had is an integration with Active Directory, not for synchronizing users but to actually manage, in some way, privileged accounts by replacing the password of LastPass itself."
