Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Integrating with other services was straightforward, especially within the AWS environment.""The product is easy to use and is inexpensive.""The most valuable feature is security.""The most valuable feature of AWS Secrets Manager is the ability to keep data secret and assign access permissions to people to grant or restrict access.""It's highly scalable, so I'd rate it a ten out of ten.""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 usability, as it is quite user-friendly.""The solution is very scalable."

More AWS Secrets Manager Pros →

"It is able to manage storage and use of personal passwords.""The secret template, password rotation, and recording sessions are the most valuable.""I have found the password management and the secret management features to be the most valuable. Our customers find its ease of integration and the use of power shells really attractive.""It offers the possibility of secure administration of hardware devices, as well as Linux systems administration from a Windows environment.""The user interface is quite good. It's very straightforward.""Its most valuable feature is its main purpose - the password changing and the Heartbeat so the user has access to only their SVN and does not have access to any other. Thycotic's access privileged management tool allows you to grant access to users for a specific period of time and with specific attributes and privileges.""Its technical support is good.""The solution's stability is flawless."

Cons
"AWS Secrets Manager could support hybrid infrastructure.""The price of the solution could improve.""There is room for improvement in the pricing model.""The solution's initial setup process is complicated.""If you add one more layer of security to AWS Secrets Manager, even the programmer will not be able to see the secrets.""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.""There is a need for better environmental implementation, such as having a security fund as a solution.""An area for improvement in AWS Secrets Manager could be expanding integration options beyond AWS services."

More AWS Secrets Manager Cons →

"When working with larger enterprises Thycotic Secret Server becomes a little cumbersome to work with because they do not allow as much flexibility as some of the other competitors, such as CyberArk. Thycotic Secret Server could improve by being more flexible when it comes to customization, and increase the number of API integrations.""The technical support needs improvement. For example, if you have any problems on the server configuring the IIS, they would provide you very limited details and they would tell you the problem is on your end.""As I am partial to CyberArk, I rate Thycotic Password Reset Server as a nine out of ten, owing to the minor glitches I mentioned.""The initial setup and deployment can be cumbersome.""One thing that I wish they would do is to have a Kubernetes or container-based deployment supported, but they're not quite there yet. Containerization or support for containerization would be fantastic.""The UI needs improvement because the interface is a little clumsy.""The tool should integrate additional features like OCR.""What needs improvement? The product can be improved by reducing the number of updates provided."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I don't believe there is a license cost for the solution."
  • "We've observed that AWS Secrets Manager pricing is based on a per-secret-per-month model. As a result, we prefer to divide our secrets into individual pieces to increase security and grant specific access permissions to certain secrets, systems, or individuals. However, this approach results in higher costs. Therefore, we have been exploring ways to combine our secrets into groups to reduce expenses and simplify management. Nonetheless, we acknowledge that this issue may not be related to the secret manager's functionality."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "We purchase a monthly license for the product."
  • "The cost is somewhat high."

  • "It isn't terribly expensive."
  • "The price of this solution is good."
  • "The pricing is standard in this business and we have no complaints about it."
  • "Its price is okay. We don't compete on pricing. We seldom use price to win over our competitors. We prefer it this way because if we can sustain the price, we make more margin as well. We don't want the price to go down to the bottom where despite the win, there's no margin at all."
  • "Secret Server is expensive when compared to the cost to some alternatives."
  • "There are different plans and additional licensing costs that can be instituted for add-ons."
  • "There is an annual license fee per user and the price is fair."
  • "They are priced quite well."
