"The platform provides straightforward integration with most of the other Azure services."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Key Vault are the security and convenience of changing passwords in multiple places."
"The product’s advantageous feature is integration."
"We use Azure Key Vault for securing secret connection streams, like API secrets, Azure services Secret Key, and AD Client Secret."
"The centralized storage and secure storage are features we like."
"Azure Key Vault allows only identified users to get the credentials and rotates the keys automatically."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. It only took a few minutes."
"Considering the features provided by the product, I would say that the solution is available at a good price point."
"The password protection itself is the most important feature. It's something we didn't have before."
"I haven't really thought about anything that I want to use it for, that I couldn't use it for."
"Password Vault's policy configuration is very good - when you receive an attack, you can segment the structure of the project in order to isolate parts or users."
"The accounts are maintained automatically. Hence, resource and administration costs are less."
"The password rotation and cyber gateway have been quite useful."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it's the best in the market. I haven't seen any other PAM solutions better than CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault."
"Service count rotation is probably one of my favorite features... The ability to automatically rotate any password I need to really helps with the entire enterprise strategy that we're pushing right now."
"Super stable and easy to scale"
"Azure has great documentation, but I would like to see more use cases pertaining to specific industries. For example, case studies on how to use HIPAA compliant solutions in the healthcare industry or how to use PCI compliant data analytics solutions in the financial technology industry would be helpful."
"One area for improvement is the notification system for secret expiration. It would be beneficial if the service could handle this more autonomously, eliminating the need for additional integrations."
"While it's very reliable in terms of stability, there's always room for improvement."
"It would be great if Azure allowed more third-party vendors into the ecosystem."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"If you check the capabilities of other key management services across Amazon, HashiCorp, and Google, there are features that Key Vault doesn't have. It could be the case that when you use Key Vault, you might be forced to use a third-party solution to get certain services. If those services could be included in Key Vault, there would be diminished reasons to go for a third-party key management system."
"To make it a ten the setup should be more streamlined."
"Microsoft Azure Key Vault could improve by enhancing the security of credentials. Without the security or the use of key vaults, we would have to configure our credentials into the source code as plain text without the encryption or security."
"CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault can improve the distributive vault feature. Distributing the vault in multiple areas and multiple data centers should improve."
"The price is high compared to Azure Key Vault. It's the most expensive solution."
"Upgrading the product is very difficult, so this could be an area for improvement."
"The interface could be improved it is not user-friendly, but they have improved but it could still improve. In the policies configuration, it would be a benefit to have more details."
"The license is expensive."
"The tool's UI has bugs and lags. It needs to be improved. The deployment process can be complex due to multiple components for various functionalities, each requiring separate infrastructure management. To simplify this process, consolidating all these components into a single platform could be beneficial. The product's pricing could be cheaper."
"It is complicated to deploy for Windows servers compared to other vendors."
"The session monitoring and recording feature is also a good feature feature, but we're currently experiencing an issue with session monitoring not working correctly. We're working with CyberArk to resolve it. We aren't able to view active sessions or historical recordings of sessions."
