More BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe Pros →

"We were using it because we have compliance requirements around secret management. Having a secure vault and encrypting data was an additional requirement. When we looked at it first, we were just looking for a vault, like a lockbox. The greatest benefit of HashiCorp is its ability to manage encryption on the fly. It provides encryption of data at rest, in use, in transit, on the fly, and linked with applications, which was really attractive.""The product is free and easy to use. It is well documented with an easy implementation process.""It is a good product to consider for companies who are looking to build on-premise or hybrid infrastructure.""It is an added value for our customers to have a Secrets Management workflow available that is PaaS/CaaS/KaaS Platform agnostic.""It is user-friendly and easy to implement from any application point.""It's stable. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.""For me, the most valuable features include that it's easy to manage and maintain the password API for retrieving passwords and other things.""This solution is easy to use and to integrate."

Cons
"The product contains some bugs.""You need to improvise many of the customized rules, which can lead to some errors. BeyondTrust should reduce the error rate.""We had some issues with the solution and once we contacted support they eventually solved the problem. They could improve their response time.""The support for the solution is not very good, they could improve by being quicker."

"There could be a plugin for the database to change the secret automatically. It would be an efficient feature for password security.""The solution could be much easier to implement.""I would rate the stability a six out of ten. There are some bugs and glitches. We are in touch with the vendor to resolve them.""The solution's initial setup process is complicated.""In terms of features, the only thing that I found a little bit hinky was that there was no revocation or deletion on the model we were using. Once in a financial year, a client interacts, and you pay for that client for the year. So, there are just little things like that in the pricing. There should be more clarity around the end of the key. I know there is no system like this. They all are the same. I tested Microsoft, Google, and some others, and none of them really want you to delete a key, which makes sense. You delete a key, and you lose everything that it has wrapped or encrypted, but it's actually just a language. Deletion isn't really deletion. It's really revocation, but overall, HashiCorp Vault ticked all the boxes for us, and I couldn't fault it.""The onboarding is a challenge. It should be more self-service, but it involves reviews and approvals.""The documentation is very general; it should have more examples and more use cases.""The product is complicated to install."

  • More BeyondTrust DevOps Secrets Safe Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I am using the open-source version of Vault and I would have to buy a license if I want to get support."
  • "The AWS version is much cheaper than HashiCorp Vault."
  • "It could do everything we wanted it to do and it is brilliant, but it is super pricey. To be fair to HashiCorp, we drove the price up with our requirements around resiliency. Because of the nature of our company, we don't really operate in the cloud."
  • "The solution's cost is reasonable."
  • "The product is expensive."
  • "In my case, the open-source version works well. It's advisable for small to medium-scale organizations, but for large-scale organizations, you should go with the enterprise version."

    Overview

    DevOps Secrets Safe is a highly scalable solution that adapts to the speed and agility required in dynamic DevOps workflows. It will help organizations limit the risk associated with substantial unmanaged privileged credentials and secrets without causing friction in highly dynamic environments such as DevOps.

    HashiCorp Vault is a cloud-agnostic solution used for security and secret management. Its valuable features include integration with other HashiCorp tools, token sharing, open source nature, cloud agnosticism, and on-the-fly encryption management. 

    The solution provides encryption of data at rest, in use, in transit, on the fly, and linked with applications. It is free to use, and the interface is simple to navigate. HashiCorp Vault has helped organizations with its multiple authentication methods and RESTful API.

    HashiCorp Vault Features

    • Data encryption: The solution is capable of encrypting and decrypting data, and will not store it. Organizations’ security personnel define their own encryption protocols; developers can store the encrypted data where they choose and are not obligated to design specific encryption processes.

    • Robust secrets: For systems such as AWS or SQL databases, Vault is able to generate secrets automatically. HashiCorp Vault is able to generate AWS keypairs with all the appropriate permissions when necessary, and when the approved time expires, will nullify them.

    • Secure secret storage: Any type of value or key secrets can be stored in the Vault. The Vault automatically encrypts the desired secrets before recording them into persistent storage, keeping them safe and secure. Users can record data using HCP Vault’s Consul service or disk, or choose from other options.

    • Nullification: Vault is able to nullify single secrets or all secrets from a particular group or specific user. This process is integral in securing systems in the event of an attack or inappropriate access.

    Reviews from Real Users

    The greatest benefit of HashiCorp is its ability to manage encryption on the fly. It provides encryption of data at rest, in use, in transit, on the fly, and linked with applications, which was really attractive. The lifecycle of a key is so easy to manage in terms of rotating, revoking, and issuing. They have different auth methods, and I tried all different auth methods. It is seamless.”- Project Manager at a comms service provider.

    “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. “ - Mohamed A., Lead DevOps Engineer at Etisalat.
