Likelihood to Recommend Well suited - 1. Quick archival esp in Google workspace apps. Very easy to archive and store important conversations, chats, etc. 2. Search and eDiscovery - Very important feature. Less appropriate - 1. Export - Very limited options and sometimes a cause of concern due to limited options post eDiscovery. 2. Integration - Very limited integration options and leads to the use of multiple alternatives or workspaces. 3. Archival post deletion - No option for this that leads to missing important elements sometimes.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Pros Archiving - Archiving of emails, chats, etc, Pretty easy to use and have some amazing features wrt to duration, access, etc. Search - Post archival, Google Vault makes it pretty easy to search for relevant content and eDiscovery. Auditing - Workspace manager can easily audit user activities. Helps security at the org level. Read full review 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. Read full review Cons More export options are available to the user, specifically allowing exported data to be imported into a new account easily The interface is very basic and easy to use, but the dashboard could show more information to make it more usable Read full review 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. Read full review Likelihood to Renew 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.
Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review Alternatives Considered The product is similar offering but it is already well integrated into the other g-suite products that we use. It works really well in terms of searching and indexing documents. Other products seemed more elaborate and were complex to implement and use. Since our use case was rather simpler data backup and retrieval, hence it seemed a good fit to implement
Read full review HashiCorp Vault is way better than
Azure Key Vault ; it has more features and it goes beyond a key-value secret store.
Read full review Return on Investment Positive ROI- able to conveniently store and access files/data that otherwise would not have been as organized. Not only makes my day more efficient but leads to a better client experience. Organized storage. Easy interface once you get used it it- give it about a month.
