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."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."
"The most valuable feature is privileged session management."
"CyberArk's GUI is user friendly."
"Thus far I can say technical support is excellent. We haven't had any issues or difficulties."
"Super stable and easy to scale"
"CyberArk probably has probably the best vault on the market because of the multiple layered security and each password getting its own encryption."
"The logs and reporting features are impressive."
"It's a highly flexible solution that can adapt to each customer's needs."
"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."
"It can still be configured by a separate team other than developers. That's why I think it's more secure."
"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."
"The tool's dynamic rotation of the password credentials is good."
"We use the solution for secret management."
"It is user-friendly and easy to implement from any application point."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is the management of tickets in the pipeline."
"CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault can improve the distributive vault feature. Distributing the vault in multiple areas and multiple data centers should improve."
"The initial setup could be simpler but it may not be as effective."
"The initial setup can get complex."
"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."
"Enhanced PSM support for Java based applications."
"The solution is too big and complex for any businesses that are small or medium-sized. They should offer a more compact version or make a solution better suited to smaller businesses."
"It is complicated to deploy for Windows servers compared to other vendors."
"I think they can improve account onboarding. For instance, you have to use the Password Vault utility, whereas in Thycotic I think there is a feature in the user interface that allows you to upload your account with an Excel file. So I'd like to have a similar thing in CyberArk."
"It would be helpful to have more advanced features."
"I would like to see better integration of HashiCorp Vault with SAP products."
"The documentation is very general; it should have more examples and more use cases."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"The product is complicated to install."
"The product needs to improve its customization. It should be also more like easy to plug and play."
"In terms of features, the only thing that I found a little bit hinky was that there was no revocation or deletion on the model we were using. Once in a financial year, a client interacts, and you pay for that client for the year. So, there are just little things like that in the pricing. There should be more clarity around the end of the key. I know there is no system like this. They all are the same. I tested Microsoft, Google, and some others, and none of them really want you to delete a key, which makes sense. You delete a key, and you lose everything that it has wrapped or encrypted, but it's actually just a language. Deletion isn't really deletion. It's really revocation, but overall, HashiCorp Vault ticked all the boxes for us, and I couldn't fault it."
"The solution could be much easier to implement."
