    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.

    HashiCorp Vault, in my opinion, is a defacto standard for any cloud or automation implementation. They're the best of the best as far as products for secrets management and the ability to use it against relatively any service you have is unheard of for other products. HashiCorp has really taken out all the stops when it comes to creating a nice, extensible tool that people can use to suit their needs.

    • 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.

    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.

    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 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.

    CyberArk is following the bottom-up approach for the development of the Privileged Access Management solution, which provides a stable and more featured security solution. But everything for CyberArk comes with a cost. Meanwhile, everything for BeyondTrust is included in a single product, and Password safe comes up with vast options under a single utility with cost-effective implementation.

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