AWS Secrets Manager vs. BeyondTrust Password Safe

[AWS Secrets Manager] is really good at managing the secrets for each environment (stage, production, ...), and with a simple command, the users will get all the variables for running the project. Depending on the user role, they could just read and/or edit the variables on the Secrets Manager on AWS. This facilitates the management of the secrets.

BeyondTrust works really well while looking to manage the privileged accounts distributed on various assets utilized in the organization. It is really good at scanning and fetching the asset details, which provides the descriptive details of all possible threat vectors and allowing the administrators to manage and mitigate the risks. Moreover, BeyondTrust's dependency on Flash is a major demerit which awfully affects the functionality and user experience for BeyondInsight.
