    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.

    I use it on an almost hourly basis. With probably 10+ years of use, I have used it for everything and have found very little that it won't complete, but it isn't very good on mobile devices. I use it on my phone strictly as a reference because it does not work with either Samsung internet browser or Chrome for Android.

    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.

    • Recommend periodic purging of unused passwords.
    • Offer a "compromised password" alert feature.
    • Don't remind me about a recent update as often as you do now. (I might be able to control this on my desktop's notification settings?)

    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.

    For the few times, in the many years that I have used RoboForm, and that I have needed to contact support they were very responsive.

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

    The number one alternative we see is LastPass. Many of our clients use it and are happy with it and I'm sure it's very close to RoboForm. I have personally used RoboForm for at least 10 years and have been extremely happy with it, so we did not do much comparing recently.
