Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Password Managers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the management of credentials."
"It's highly scalable, so I'd rate it a ten out of ten."
"Integrating with other services was straightforward, especially within the AWS environment."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Secrets Manager is its seamless integration with various AWS services."
"All our workloads are running on AWS, so integration with our workload is much easier on AWS Secrets Manager than going with another solution such as Thycotic."
"The API is fine and works well."
"AWS Secrets Manager is used for storing secret information that has to be a secret from your customer and your employees."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the liberty of keeping encrypted passwords and elevated information in a sealed vault."
"The shared folders is an important feature. It's the primary feature we use. Also, the ability for LastPass to autofill and hide the passwords, so we don't have to keep changing passwords every time a person leaves, is valuable."
"The most valuable feature for me is being able to pair applications and user permissions."
"Off-boarding of people is easy without changing shared account passwords."
"The initial setup for this process is straightforward and extremely easy. It just works."
"Tech support has been good. We haven't needed it much, because it is not a complex application. There is not that much you have to do with it."
"Increased security around password management for teams and collaborative efforts with external vendors."
"Scalability is fine, no issues with that, especially now that they have added different user-level permissions. That has made it a lot easier to delegate out certain features to have other people do."
"AWS Secrets Manager could support hybrid infrastructure."
"If you don't have enterprise support, then you will not be able to get through to them to get the help. It is not only applicable to AWS Secrets Manager. It is also applicable to any service on AWS."
"The sidecar feature has room for improvement."
"An area for improvement in AWS Secrets Manager could be expanding integration options beyond AWS services."
"If you add one more layer of security to AWS Secrets Manager, even the programmer will not be able to see the secrets."
"We occasionally have problems with rate limits, although that is a problem more generally with AWS."
"There is room for improvement in terms of integrating with certain other platforms."
"There is a need for better environmental implementation, such as having a security fund as a solution."
"We have issues from time to time where, for some reason, it just keeps auto logging-out the user and then, the next day, they'll come in and it will work just fine."
"The ability to set up an account expiration limit/date would be very useful."
"I struggle a little bit with the mobile app. As a browser extension, it works really well, and we are able to get to what we need to. However, on the phone, it's not quite as easy to navigate."
"The biggest thing is there is no good way to have LastPass rotate passwords without human intervention. Right now, we have to go into each folder, then rotate and manually update each password. It can be done it by loading a bunch of passwords into a spreadsheet, but this makes the whole process insecure because then the passwords have been noted into a spreadsheet which have to be upload. We have to go into 40 to 50 applications and manually update passwords, because we don't view their solution of writing a bunch of passwords on a spreadsheet, then uploading them as a secure solution. This should be done internally within LastPass."
"Its user interface should be better, and there should probably be more information about scalability."
"Right now we have two products; there is the password manager and there is the authenticator app. Ideally, these should be fully integrated and support better handling of two-factor authentication or any other authenticator data."
"I also don't like the add-in for Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, because when you do the add-in, you can actually save that to your credentials in your IE, and the problem is, if I left my screen open, or any of the IT people leave their screen open someone could come up and access all their credentials in LastPass without having to put a password in within your own network. I don't like that functionality. We've banned that from any of our staff adding that as an add-in because we see that as a security risk."
"Our biggest issue over the years was around the stability of the LDAP sync to AD."
