Comparison Results: Azure is the winner in this comparison. Reviewers are happier with its ease of deployment and with its price.
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the search for secrets feature that we use to store our passwords and connection strings."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. It only took a few minutes."
"We only use the basic features and those are the ones that have the ability to tie into the app, the secrets, and the passwords and encrypt them."
"We use Azure Key Vault to store secrets."
"Azure Key Vault is very affordable, with charges of less than a dollar for over ten thousand keys."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to store secrets securely and encrypt them. It is pretty easy and straightforward to use."
"The platform provides straightforward integration with most of the other Azure services."
"The solution can scale up as needed."
"Security is the solution's most valuable feature. As far as I know, this solution is the most secure system of this class on the market today, even considering another management system like Fudo Security, which we also use. The integration capabilities are very good; it helps strengthen our overall security."
"I love how easily we could operate within Password Vault and get things done. It was almost effortless."
"Every aspect of the solution is very well integrated, and even that gives comfort. It is a fail-safe kind of environment."
"The solution is highly stable."
"Previously, we used to share passwords for service and normal admin accounts among team members. However, since we started managing it through the product, we've transitioned to individual admin accounts or implemented dual control for shared accounts. With dual control, exclusive checking and checkout options are available, and passwords are not stored in clear text anywhere in the credentials."
"The password rotation and cyber gateway have been quite useful."
"The most valuable features of CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault are password vaulting and automatic rotation of passwords after use."
"Password Vault's main advantage is its scalability. We constantly see huge enterprises implementing something like this, and the privileged session management is an excellent piece. You can kind of watch videos of whatever an admin has done."
"They should add a key vault feature for the databases temporarily integrated into hybrid clouds."
"The voucher access policy can be improved by configuring it based on groups, rather than just applications or users."
"The solution does not allow you to integrate with XML parties if it is not inside Azure itself."
"It needs to offer dynamic secrets management."
"Azure Key Vault is only available for Microsoft services, and it should be exposed to non-Microsoft cloud services, like GCP and Amazon."
"The initial setup could be less complex for first-time users."
"Better integration with other third-party cloud providers, such as AWS and GCP, should be there. That's something I expect from a Microsoft-built product."
"Many times, the first round of support itself will fail, and they will bring some more competent people in the subsequent support. So it gets into a hierarchical mode. By then, we will lose a good amount of time. The technical support needs improvement."
"There are upwards of six components you need to set it up. And you might need anywhere from two to five servers. It takes some work to set that up, especially in a larger environment."
"There was a situation when one of our presidents had an issue, but I can't recall the specifics."
"We require IAM (identify and access management) capability at the administrator level because we need more identification."
"Enhanced PSM support for Java based applications."
"The architecture needs to be improved."
"I'd like it to be a little more granular. I want a little bit more control over exactly what we do. I know if you do that, you add more knobs and dials to deal with, but that's just my personal approach: granular access."
"The challenge with the product is pricing since it's expensive. It also needs to improve the customization. We encountered some stability issues as well."
"I would like to see more integration with more tools, for more APIs."
