Azure Key Vault Reviews

Users can store all the security credentials in Azure Key Vault, which only authorized users can access.

Azure Key Vault allows only identified users to get the credentials and rotates the keys automatically.

The solution's usage can be a little better from the user interface point of view. Azure Key Vault is a little complex from the usage point of view, and users should be able to use it in a much simpler way.

I have been using Azure Key Vault for two years.

Azure Key Vault is a highly stable solution.

Azure Key Vault is a highly scalable solution. Our clients for Azure Key Vault are mostly medium-sized businesses.

I rate Azure Key Vault an eight or nine out of ten for scalability.

Azure Key Vault’s technical support is very good.

I rate Azure Key Vault a four or five out of ten for the ease of its initial setup.

Azure Key Vault's deployment doesn't take much time and can be done in a few minutes.

Azure Key Vault is an affordable solution. On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Azure Key Vault's pricing a three out of ten.

I am working with the latest version of Azure Key Vault. I would recommend Azure Key Vault to other users because it is scaling up and getting better than other cloud solutions.

Overall, I rate Azure Key Vault an eight out of ten.

We use it to secure passwords and conceal various types of information within documents and data.

It provides a secure and centralized location for managing and protecting sensitive information, making it an essential component for enhancing the security.

While it is reliable, enhancing security and protection should always be the priority.

I would rate its stability capabilities ten out of ten.

Scalability depends on the availability mechanisms established at the data center level, specifically through the use of availability zone regions.

We have been using Cisco Secure and CyberArk. It's not a simple switch; rather, we encountered specific situations that necessitated the use of Key Vault.

The initial setup was straightforward.

It takes about an hour or less to complete the deployment internally with our in-house team.

I would advise to construct the global scenario in alignment with their specific requirements. Overall, I would rate it ten out of ten.

We use Azure Key Vault to store all of our applications’ keys and secrets in the Azure platform. The secrets and keys are for our public facing SaaS software which mainly includes websites and APIs.

The solution has reduced the amount of time that we had spent worrying about the management of the keys and secrets.

I find the simplicity of key management to be the most valuable feature. Key management has always been a difficult function to do, especially in the cloud premises. Azure Key Vault provides you with a mechanism for managing keys, without having to worry about protecting secrets, and that is valuable.

I have been using this solution for about five years.

I would rate the stability of the solution as eight out of ten. We encountered a few problems where Azure had infrastructure problems like the DMS. It was not necessarily a problem with the Key Vault but a problem with the infrastructure that did not allow us to access it.

I would give a rating of ten out of ten for the scalability of the solution. I have not found any scalability issues with Azure Key Vault.

I have found the customer service and support of Microsoft to be very good and very high.

Positive

We haven’t used any different solution before Azure Key Vault. We have used it since initially implementing it in the cloud.

The initial deployment was straightforward. I was involved in the deployment of the solution in a project management role.

We implemented the solution with the help of an in-house team. There was only one team member doing the deployment.

We have seen ROI with the solution. We observed reduced internal development effort with the use of the tool. The solution was certainly worth the cost.

I find the pricing of Azure Key Vault to be reasonable.

We did not evaluate any other options because we were fully on the Microsoft platform, so we went ahead with their recommendation.

I would rate Azure Key Vault a nine out of ten. I recommend it as a good solution for those using Azure Cloud to host their services. The solution does not require any maintenance.

We use the Azure Key Vault to encrypt and to get our secrets such as passwords and connection strings.

The use of Azure Key Vault is vital to the security of our organization. Here we store our credentials, secrets, tokens, connection strings, and any other information needed to access external services and cloud providers. This service is essential to ensure a high level of security for our company.

The most valuable feature of the solution is the search for secrets feature that we use to store our passwords and connection strings. I also like objects such as keys and certificates.

Azure Key Vault is simpler to use compared to other certificate or password managers such as HashiCorp Vault and ManageEngine Password Manager Pro.

We can currently configure RBAC, Azure role-based access control, or a voucher access policy. The voucher access policy can be improved by configuring it based on groups, rather than just applications or users.

I have been using the solution for three years.

The solution is extremely stable. We have not had any issues or downtime with Azure Key Vault.

The solution is scalable and always responds to our demands.

We currently have around 500 people in our organization using the solution.

The technical support team is good and they provided satisfactory results.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment takes two to three minutes.

The implementation was completed in-house.

We have seen a return on investment for our organization with Azure Key Vault because of its low price and security. 

Compared to other solutions, Azure Key Vault is much cheaper. 

I give the price of the solution a ten out of ten.

I give the solution a ten out of ten.

The solution is self-maintaining. We have implemented EIS, and infra as a code, and incorporated a CI/CD process to automate the maintenance in our environment.

I always recommend going to Microsoft Learn for its rich knowledge base. Azure Key Vault is an excellent solution for improving organizational security, and it offers great value for money.

We use Microsoft Azure Key Vault to store encrypted credentials.

One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Key Vault is its ease of use.

Microsoft Azure Key Vault could improve by enhancing the security of credentials. Without the security or the use of key vaults, we would have to configure our credentials into the source code as plain text without the encryption or security.

I have been using Microsoft Azure Key Vault for approximately seven months.

I didn't explore scalability very much, I had limited configurations with Microsoft Azure Key Vault. In the future, if I need to add a few more properties I could do it within the scale.

I used the Microsoft support that they have online at MSDN. I found most of the requirements and answers to my questions needed.

I have not used other solutions previously.

The initial setup of Microsoft Azure Key Vault was easy. The time it took for the implementation was appropriately one hour.

The solution does not require maintenance, there is no maintenance team needed.

The solution is simple to use, but there are now many more wallets that are available in the market. I haven't explored other solutions. I would advise others to look at other solutions to have an overview of what features the others are providing before choosing.

I rate Microsoft Azure Key Vault a six out of ten.

We are a financial institution and we are using this product to manage our keys. We are currently trying to roll out a "Bring Your Own Key" solution for Azure and Office 365.

The GUI was quite easy for me to use.

Integration with Fortanix is good.

The integration with Thales HSM is complex and is not out-of-the-box. Uploading the keys was quite a tedious process.

We are just beginners with the Microsoft Azure Key Vault and only started using it within the past six months.

We have approximately 150,000 employees across the organization.

Technical support from Microsoft is excellent. The reason we still buy Microsoft products is because of their support. The documentation is good and they also provide free, professional support.

The premium support is available at an additional cost, but professional support is free with the license.

Prior to Azure Key Vault, we were using the Bring Your Own Key solution, Thales Hardware Security Module (HSM). It worked seamlessly to generate our own key and upload it to the key vault. However, with Azure and Office 365, Microsoft manages the keys. I started using Azure Key Vault because it is an out-of-the-box feature with Azure, and it replaced our Thales HSM.

The installation of Thales HSM is a little bit complex. When we installed it, we needed to have two VDAs. There is an online VDA and an offline VDA, and we have to retrieve information from the offline one and pass it to the online one. These are complex tasks in our environment. Because it is a highly regulated industry, even moving a key is not easy for us. We have to go through all of the processes.

Because of the complications that we have had, we were looking at replacing Thales HSM with Fortanix. It integrates with Azure Key Vault and the key upload process is quite easy.

Pricing is quite reasonable and support is included, although premium support is available for an additional fee.

I am currently researching and evaluating HashiCorp Vault. We have not yet run a PoC but I am learning the differences between these two solutions. In addition to Azure, we have AWS and multiple cloud platforms, and we have heard that HashiCorp Vault is the best solution for cases like this.

HashiCorp Vault is open-source and has a command-line interface. 

One of the things that I would like to know is whether HashiCorp can be used for Azure workloads. For example, can it be used in a situation where a user brings their own key for Office 365, or does that only work with Azure Key Vault? 

Overall, this is a good product and the support is fantastic.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for API keys. We are migrating most of the data, including the application built in react native from the IBM server to Azure. AWS Key Vault stores secret keys and API keys.

Azure has its SLAs and Vault. We were never worried about the impact on security or any compliance with GDPR or others.

The product is very helpful. AI has been introduced to Azure. The services are being introduced thoroughly in Azure, especially in AI and IoT.

The solution could be cheaper.

I have been using Azure Key Vault for a year. We started migrating 20-22 applications from IBM server to Azure.

The product is stable. A few others are dynamic in Azure. We might need an extension for those. So, we moved to the cloud.

We've around three to four million users in one application.

During the migration process, we utilized Microsoft support for Azure Key Vault. We encountered a couple of issues that the vendor couldn't resolve, so we had to turn to Microsoft support for assistance.

The initial setup is easy. We have migrated around 20 applications in six months with the help of a vendor. There were a few architecture glitches otherwise it had a good impact on the deployment.

We have conducted this code assessment using the tool. Initially, we had two environments; development and production. We have set up multiple environments including development, and production. Additionally, we have initiated a force support assessment. We have commenced licensing for a few applications, utilizing both the relationship method and the refactor method. We have undertaken additional work on the porting part for a couple of applications. We are also focusing on automating this process as DevOps has been introduced.

Azure Key Vault is more expensive than Amazon.

I recommend the solution.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

We use Azure Key Vault to store secrets. 

The solution needs to improve its cost. 

I have been using the solution for five years. 

I rate Azure Key Vault's stability a ten out of ten. 

The product's scalability is perfect. My company has around 100-200 users for the solution. 

The tool's installation is straightforward. 

We did the solution's deployment in-house. 

I rate the tool a ten out of ten.
