AWS Secrets Manager Room for Improvement
There is room for improvement in terms of integrating with certain other platforms.
An area for improvement in AWS Secrets Manager could be expanding integration options beyond AWS services. Enhancing compatibility with other platforms like Azure and providing more automated options for secret rotation could simplify the overall integration process for users.
Even though I said that the employee or programmer doesn't need to see the secret, he can view the secret if he intends to. He just has to display the value he fetched from the AWS Secrets Manager.
The solution should add one more layer of encoding and decoding so that when the programmer fetches the value from the AWS Secrets Manager, what he receives is only an encoded version. Instead of directly sending it to Google, he sends the authentication information to another AWS service which decodes it and then sends it to Google. If you add one more layer of security to AWS Secrets Manager, even the programmer will not be able to see the secrets.

There is room for improvement in the pricing model.
In future releases, I would like to see a feature. For example, other secret managers don't allow the use of services other than AWS service. So, if we have AWS Secrets Manager allowed to a user outside the AWS environment, it will be an additional feature.

If you don't have enterprise support, then you will not be able to get through to them to get the help. It is not only applicable to AWS Secrets Manager. It is also applicable to any service on AWS.

We occasionally have problems with rate limits, although that is a problem more generally with AWS.
