We performed a comparison between AWS Secrets Manager and LastPass based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The most valuable feature is usability, as it is quite user-friendly."
"AWS Secrets Manager is used for storing secret information that has to be a secret from your customer and your employees."
"The API is fine and works well."
"It's highly scalable, so I'd rate it a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Secrets Manager is its seamless integration with various AWS services."
"All our workloads are running on AWS, so integration with our workload is much easier on AWS Secrets Manager than going with another solution such as Thycotic."
"The most valuable feature is security."
"Integrating with other services was straightforward, especially within the AWS environment."
"Until now, I haven't found anything like the dashboard. It gives you a security score. I find that to be really great. The Sharing Center is really great as well. And the Security Challenge is really great too."
"It's always hard to put a value on return on investment. You avoid one breach and it's paid for a million times over. We got a penetration test company internally, just to see how secure our network is, and there happened to be one bit of software that had been overlooked by an external company that managed it. It hadn't been upgraded so that managed to get them into the network. They would've been able to access through the test thing a file that we had previously. If that was a real-life scenario they would have been able to get into our network and get full access to our organization's passwords. If they did get in, they would have gotten access to the cloud. The ROI we see is that we are completely secured compared to what we had previously where there was a vulnerability."
"Increased security around password management for teams and collaborative efforts with external vendors."
"Reduction in number of sensitive passwords stored insecurely on local systems."
"It is easy to use."
"Scalability is fine, no issues with that, especially now that they have added different user-level permissions. That has made it a lot easier to delegate out certain features to have other people do."
"The most valuable feature for me is being able to pair applications and user permissions."
"The initial setup for this process is straightforward and extremely easy. It just works."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"The sidecar feature has room for improvement."
"If you add one more layer of security to AWS Secrets Manager, even the programmer will not be able to see the secrets."
"We occasionally have problems with rate limits, although that is a problem more generally with AWS."
"There is room for improvement in terms of integrating with certain other platforms."
"AWS Secrets Manager could support hybrid infrastructure."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"The management through the plugin is poor. It consumes tons of client resources especially as an administrator."
"Right now we have two products; there is the password manager and there is the authenticator app. Ideally, these should be fully integrated and support better handling of two-factor authentication or any other authenticator data."
"I also don't like the add-in for Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, because when you do the add-in, you can actually save that to your credentials in your IE, and the problem is, if I left my screen open, or any of the IT people leave their screen open someone could come up and access all their credentials in LastPass without having to put a password in within your own network. I don't like that functionality. We've banned that from any of our staff adding that as an add-in because we see that as a security risk."
"It is not super feature laden. It does not stand out versus the competition."
"LastPass has a problem syncing the passwords to all of the users."
"Our biggest issue over the years was around the stability of the LDAP sync to AD."
"We have issues from time to time where, for some reason, it just keeps auto logging-out the user and then, the next day, they'll come in and it will work just fine."
"I struggle a little bit with the mobile app. As a browser extension, it works really well, and we are able to get to what we need to. However, on the phone, it's not quite as easy to navigate."
