We performed a comparison between Bitwarden and HashiCorp Vault 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."It is open source and the premium package is reasonable."
"The product has a very friendly community."
"I've found something else that is extremely valuable. Bitwarden refers to it as "emergency access". It's essentially a digital legacy where you can assign approved users who can request access. If you don't decline within a certain timeframe, they can access it in case you're incapacitated or deceased. When I last checked, only a few services offered this feature. Bitwarden had the simplest and best implementation."
"In our organization, we use Bitwarden for managing product credentials. Bitwarden's collection feature enables us to securely create and store credentials, and we can easily provide team members with access to the relevant collections."
"Having all the passwords in one place is helpful."
"Its integration capabilities and versatility, like the ability to securely save passwords and other critical information, make it incredibly useful."
"This solution is easy to use and to integrate."
"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."
"It is a good product to consider for companies who are looking to build on-premise or hybrid infrastructure."
"It's stable. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."
"The tool's dynamic rotation of the password credentials is good."
"The interface is very simple to navigate."
"It is an added value for our customers to have a Secrets Management workflow available that is PaaS/CaaS/KaaS Platform agnostic."
"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."
"Enhancing the tool by including additional security variables would be a valuable improvement."
"It would be ideal if the application could be seamlessly integrated into our open-source software, especially for the purpose of enabling straightforward logging."
"I often use another password manager as well to keep my passwords separate, ensuring redundancy. But one simple thing Bitwarden could improve is providing an option to duplicate credentials. Often, you're creating many sets of credentials for the same thing. If they all have the same information, notes, login, collection, and naming - all you're changing is the password. The ability to duplicate credential records quickly would be a big win. It doesn't do that right now."
"The solution should be made more secure as it has the banking sector and assets saved."
"The product could be cheaper."
"The product must be a bit more unified and refined."
"I would like to see better integration of HashiCorp Vault with SAP products."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"A drawback for some clients who have to be PCI compliant is that they still need to use and subscribe to an HSM (Hardware Security Module) solution."
"The technical support was hard to get a hold of and lacking in service."
"The product needs to improve its customization. It should be also more like easy to plug and play."
"We could use more documentation, primarily to do with integrations."
"The solution could be much easier to implement."
"It would be helpful to have more advanced features."
