The feature I find most beneficial in HashiCorp Vault is the secret engine. It integrates smoothly with many applications, making it easy to set up and implement quickly. This allows you to test it easily and see good results rapidly. When you integrate an internal API or application, it quickly manages that application's secrets.

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.
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.
Enterprise password management solutions store and administer sensitive data such as passwords, records, and identity credentials for organizations. Since most cyber-attacks use legitimate credentials to enter an organization, password security is an essential part of an organization’s security posture.

It's stable. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.
The product is free and easy to use. It is well documented with an easy implementation process.
It is a good product to consider for companies who are looking to build on-premise or hybrid infrastructure.
For me, the most valuable features include that it's easy to manage and maintain the password API for retrieving passwords and other things.
It is user-friendly and easy to implement from any application point.

The interface is very simple to navigate.
It can still be configured by a separate team other than developers. That's why I think it's more secure.
This solution is easy to use and to integrate.
It is an added value for our customers to have a Secrets Management workflow available that is PaaS/CaaS/KaaS Platform agnostic.
