Pros

1Password's Watchtower service is a real value add - 1Password monitors the security news for evidence of security breaches containing your credentials and alerts you if you have been impacted. That is a huge value as it enables you to get out in front of a security breach and be proactive in protecting yourself.
1Password's core strength is that it makes it easy to practice good security hygiene by using strong, unique passwords for each site you interact with. This is something that all password managers do now, but offering an easy experience is key.
1Password's password sharing features makes it easy to share team credentials with other team members, and to decide who amongst the team gets access to the designated credentials.

The HTTP API you use to write and read secrets is open and can be used by any application.
It keeps our sensitive data/credentials out of our GitLab repositories.
Sealing and unsealing the Vault on demand adds an additional layer of security.

Cons

1Password is so secure, that it lacks a self-managed "forget your password" functionality which means that as a manager, I have to approve password resets which may slow down some users.
On Chrome, the extension sometimes stops working when the browser is updated.

Documentation could be better.
The multiple key unseal process can be a problem if the need arises.
It would make more sense if HashiCorp Vault combined with HashiCorp Consul to create a unique product.

HashiCorp Vault 10.0

Based on 1 answer

HashiCorp Vault is the best there is out there, and it has become critical to our secret management use cases. It would be difficult to find anything that would suit our needs better and that would be beneficial for us to switch over to.

Usability

1Password 10.0

Based on 1 answer

The 1Password app design is top notch, much better than a couple other password managers I've looked at. The app and service are very flexible, allowing for many different types of data storage. The browser extensions generally work very well, allowing for easy access to login information while using pretty much any modern web browser.

HashiCorp Vault 7.0

Based on 2 answers

We spent a little more time than we imagined to conceptually understand how HashiCorp Vault operates, as well as how it is configured. This is not trivial, and keep in mind that you will need to take some time to get a thorough understanding of the tool. The documentation could be more helpful in this regard.

HashiCorp Vault 6.2

Based on 6 answers

Hashicorp has been very responsive to our questions and inquiries up to this point. We are currently working on them to develop a more granular permissions model within Vault. We are very close to achieving our objectives with the help of their support team. We do not seem to be in the same time zone which makes it hard for escalated issues.

Alternatives Considered

Outside of 1Password, we used built-in browser password managers (Chrome, FireFox) to keep track of multiple different passwords. While this was fine, it did not allow for a scalable solution which we could easily use across the organization. We found 1Password to be a superior solution which allows for us to accomplish keeping track of multiple passwords in a more effective way.

HashiCorp Vault is way better than Azure Key Vault; it has more features and it goes beyond a key-value secret store.
