We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The synchronization is the solution's most valuable feature. It works really well. The ability to have secure notes is also very helpful.""The integration capabilities have been good.""I like the ability to share passwords without them being visible to other team members. The auto-fill capabilities are great too.""Dashlane's most valuable feature is Hotspot Shield, the VPN feature that allows you to connect securely to public wifi."

More Dashlane Pros →

"We use the solution for secret management.""It is user-friendly and easy to implement from any application point.""It is a good product to consider for companies who are looking to build on-premise or hybrid infrastructure.""It is an added value for our customers to have a Secrets Management workflow available that is PaaS/CaaS/KaaS Platform agnostic.""It's stable. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.""It can still be configured by a separate team other than developers. That's why I think it's more secure.""The interface is very simple to navigate.""We were using it because we have compliance requirements around secret management. Having a secure vault and encrypting data was an additional requirement. When we looked at it first, we were just looking for a vault, like a lockbox. The greatest benefit of HashiCorp is its ability to manage encryption on the fly. It provides encryption of data at rest, in use, in transit, on the fly, and linked with applications, which was really attractive."

Cons
"The cost, while decent, of course, could always be less.""There should also be an easier way to be able to transfer user data to other users who have kind of left the company.""It would be nice to have the solution localized in Europe. Dashlane is an American company. It's controlled by American laws and regulations that allows the American government to have full access to my data with Dashlane. That's why I am leaving Dashlane, because we can't accept such an important function in American control.""The integration with the VPN feature could be smoother."

"I would rate the stability a six out of ten. There are some bugs and glitches. We are in touch with the vendor to resolve them.""It would be helpful to have more advanced features.""The solution could be much easier to implement.""The product is complicated to install.""The technical support was hard to get a hold of and lacking in service.""There could be a plugin for the database to change the secret automatically. It would be an efficient feature for password security.""I don't think there are any major improvements required—so far, so good. However, I think that having more training materials, such as videos, and documentation available would be helpful. I would prefer to have more videos available either on the official site or on YouTube.""A drawback for some clients who have to be PCI compliant is that they still need to use and subscribe to an HSM (Hardware Security Module) solution."

  • More Dashlane Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I am using the open-source version of Vault and I would have to buy a license if I want to get support."
  • "The AWS version is much cheaper than HashiCorp Vault."
  • "It could do everything we wanted it to do and it is brilliant, but it is super pricey. To be fair to HashiCorp, we drove the price up with our requirements around resiliency. Because of the nature of our company, we don't really operate in the cloud."
  • "The solution's cost is reasonable."
  • "The product is expensive."
  • "In my case, the open-source version works well. It's advisable for small to medium-scale organizations, but for large-scale organizations, you should go with the enterprise version."

    Reviews from Real Users

    The greatest benefit of HashiCorp is its ability to manage encryption on the fly. It provides encryption of data at rest, in use, in transit, on the fly, and linked with applications, which was really attractive. The lifecycle of a key is so easy to manage in terms of rotating, revoking, and issuing. They have different auth methods, and I tried all different auth methods. It is seamless.”- Project Manager at a comms service provider.

    “The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is that it's an open source solution. Second, it's cloud-agnostic, so it's very easy to maintain and control, which is why we prefer HashiCorp. “ - Mohamed A., Lead DevOps Engineer at Etisalat.
