HashiCorp Vault vs. KeePass

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.

[KeePass] works extremely well for personal work passwords and personal-use passwords for home. It allows users to remember 1 single complex password in order to gain access to the entire database of passwords. It doesn't work so well if you want to sync passwords to multiple devices such as your computer or phone. It can be done, but it's not simple.

• 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.

• Very secure - no worries about our passwords being stored insecurely or in the wrong place.
• Easy to share access to passwords used company-wide.
• Integrates with Chrome and other browsers for ease of use and speed.
• Price - free to use.

• Session Management is terrible to manage
• Monitoring is hard and not enough information
• User management
• Configuration is too complex
• More user friendly UI

• The user-friendliness could be better. The interface looks outdated and is sometimes quite technical.
• If you're on the road a lot, KeePass isn't very user-friendly on a smartphone or tablet. It's fine to use on a laptop, though.
• Sharing passwords with colleagues who are temporarily unable to log into KeePass independently could be improved.

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.

My very good experience in the past 15 years of usage of KeePass makes it easy to decide for a renewal of this friendship. I was never disappointed and KeePass always meets my expectations. The software runs stable and if there should be a software error, it will be fixed in no time. This is customer satisfaction.

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.

KeePass is easy to use and requires no prior training using it. I would rate KeePass a score 9 out of 10. It stands out in managing credentials securely and efficiently. No other similar app performs its core function as well, making KeePass an essential tool for password management and security.

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.

I have almost never had to contact support. This product has a wide community, a very expansive documentation/forum site where generally any question/issue already has an answer/fix or explanation/workaround, or plans for improvement in a future version. On the occasions that I have reached out, answers were fairly quick, useful, and respectful.

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

KeePass is free and compatible with all the devices you or your customers and it has a lot of different uses. Is not only a password manager like Norton safe password or the avast's one. Like the password managers of the browsers, no, with KeePass every customer can find a useful way to share and keep secure I formations
