    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.

    It's a great tool for limiting (eliminating) calls to your IT department or Help Desk to assist with Windows Login issues. For organizations that don't mind having a dedicated onsite or hosted server to provide this type of service its a great tool to have implemented in the environment.

    Pros
    IBM
    • 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.

    • The product serves its purpose fairly well. Perhaps an additional feature that can assist remote users would be beneficial.
    • Sending alerts or notifications when a user has been locked out would be great. We are able to access this information from the Admin Portal but a system generated email would be helpful.

    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
    IBM
    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.

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

    There were no other services that we had the opportunity to compare this to. It seemed to be one of a kind product aside from using some type of biometrics solution.
