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 solution is highly stable."
"In terms of stability, there are no complaints."
"The privileged support manager is the most valuable feature of CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault."
"I haven't really thought about anything that I want to use it for, that I couldn't use it for."
"The logs and reporting features are impressive."
"Session monitoring is excellent. It may be the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The password rotation and cyber gateway have been quite useful."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is session recording."
"The tool's dynamic rotation of the password credentials is good."
"We use the solution for secret management."
"We were using it because we have compliance requirements around secret management. Having a secure vault and encrypting data was an additional requirement. When we looked at it first, we were just looking for a vault, like a lockbox. The greatest benefit of HashiCorp is its ability to manage encryption on the fly. It provides encryption of data at rest, in use, in transit, on the fly, and linked with applications, which was really attractive."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is the management of tickets in the pipeline."
"This solution is easy to use and to integrate."
"The feature I find most beneficial in HashiCorp Vault is the secret engine. It integrates smoothly with many applications, making it easy to set up and implement quickly. This allows you to test it easily and see good results rapidly. When you integrate an internal API or application, it quickly manages that application's secrets."
"It is a good product to consider for companies who are looking to build on-premise or hybrid infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of HashiCorp Vault is that it's an open source solution. Second, it's cloud agnostic, so it's very easy to maintain and control, which is why we prefer HashiCorp."
"CyberArk has two disadvantages; the first is that it's insanely expensive and the other is it's very complex."
"The license is expensive."
"The installation process should be easier and more user-friendly so that you don't need to hire a third party to deploy it."
"To get it to a ten it should give other possibilities to select if you could follow the keystrokes. It should have a flexibility with things where people can use it a lot faster."
"We should be able to join small components."
"I'd like it to be a little more granular. I want a little bit more control over exactly what we do. I know if you do that, you add more knobs and dials to deal with, but that's just my personal approach: granular access."
"The challenge with the product is pricing since it's expensive. It also needs to improve the customization. We encountered some stability issues as well."
"Having a cloud version would be very helpful. You have to invest a lot of money for the infrastructure hardware so the cloud version would help."
"In terms of features, the only thing that I found a little bit hinky was that there was no revocation or deletion on the model we were using. Once in a financial year, a client interacts, and you pay for that client for the year. So, there are just little things like that in the pricing. There should be more clarity around the end of the key. I know there is no system like this. They all are the same. I tested Microsoft, Google, and some others, and none of them really want you to delete a key, which makes sense. You delete a key, and you lose everything that it has wrapped or encrypted, but it's actually just a language. Deletion isn't really deletion. It's really revocation, but overall, HashiCorp Vault ticked all the boxes for us, and I couldn't fault it."
"We could use more documentation, primarily to do with integrations."
"The documentation is very general; it should have more examples and more use cases."
"There could be a plugin for the database to change the secret automatically. It would be an efficient feature for password security."
"The technical support was hard to get a hold of and lacking in service."
"In my opinion, HashiCorp Vault could improve its user interface. Right now, they don't offer much in terms of a graphical interface, which means you usually have to manage things manually through API calls. I think CyberArk has a better approach because it provides a UI that integrates features across all its components, making it easier, especially for new users or those from organizations with strict licensing policies."
"The onboarding is a challenge. It should be more self-service, but it involves reviews and approvals."
"It would be helpful to have more advanced features."
