We performed a comparison between CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault and Azure Key Vault based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Azure is the winner in this comparison. Reviewers are happier with its ease of deployment and with its price.
"It provides a secure and centralized location for managing and protecting sensitive information, making it an essential component for enhancing the security."
"I would say it's granular controller who can access them."
"The solution's technical support is good. My company received support from Microsoft whenever we needed it."
"The platform provides straightforward integration with most of the other Azure services."
"The GUI was quite easy for me to use."
"The platform has a valuable feature for seamless integration."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to store secrets securely and encrypt them. It is pretty easy and straightforward to use."
"There is advanced data protection available. We're working in a highly regulated environment, and this is essential to us."
"PSM enables after-hours monitoring."
"The accounts are maintained automatically. Hence, resource and administration costs are less."
"CyberArk's GUI is user friendly."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is session recording."
"CyberArk probably has probably the best vault on the market because of the multiple layered security and each password getting its own encryption."
"CyberArk is a good and adaptive solution. It is easy to adopt and install. It is easy for every use case."
"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."
"Previously, we used to share passwords for service and normal admin accounts among team members. However, since we started managing it through the product, we've transitioned to individual admin accounts or implemented dual control for shared accounts. With dual control, exclusive checking and checkout options are available, and passwords are not stored in clear text anywhere in the credentials."
"Sometimes it takes too long to retrieve the keys. The authentication process takes time."
"The big problem with Azure Key Vault is key rotation. We haven't found a good way to synchronize the credentials between the databases and Key Vault."
"We encountered a few problems where Azure had infrastructure problems like the DMS."
"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."
"We've experienced issues with configuration."
"It needs to offer dynamic secrets management."
"There's room for improvement in cross-platform compatibility."
"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."
"Upgrading the product is very difficult, so this could be an area for improvement."
"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."
"The only problem involves granting access to people who are authorized to view it."
"CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault can improve the distributive vault feature. Distributing the vault in multiple areas and multiple data centers should improve."
"The technical support is very poor."
"Enhanced PSM support for Java based applications."
"The stability depends on the infrastructure it is installed on, which is important because CyberArk does not have the hardware appliance."
"There is a little bit of confusion in the implementation part, especially when one tries to understand the actual working of the product."
