Considered Both Products	IBM Vault Verified User Consultant Chose IBM Vault More functionality and integration with eks cluster Incentivized Helpful? FZ Fabricio Zubelli DevOps Engineer Chose IBM Vault HashiCorp Vault integrates with a lot of tools and systems, and the documentation was pretty robust with a lot of community help. Because HashiCorp Vault is also older than other solutions, it is already well developed with a lot of features you need for storing secrets and … Helpful? Erlon Sousa Pinheiro DevOps Engineer Chose IBM Vault I already used Encrypted Hiera (which is basically YAML files encrypted with a private key scheme where this key is stored in plain text on the server, which is obviously not the best option). Another solution I also used for this purpose was AWS KMS, but with Vault I don't get … Incentivized Helpful? Marco Urrea DevOps Engineer Chose IBM Vault HashiCorp Vault is way better than Azure Key Vault; it has more features and it goes beyond a key-value secret store. Incentivized Helpful? Jeffrey Severance Senior Solutions Engineer Chose IBM Vault We evaluated Symantec as an existing partner within our enterprise.

Verified User Engineer Chose IBM Vault As mentioned before, HashiCorp Vault really is the best in its class.

Likelihood to Recommend	IBM 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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. Incentivized Jeffrey Severance Senior Solutions Engineer Read full review
Cons	IBM Session Management is terrible to manage Monitoring is hard and not enough information User management Configuration is too complex More user friendly UI FZ Fabricio Zubelli DevOps Engineer Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	IBM 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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.

Support Rating	IBM 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.
