Featured Reviews

Aditya Sasmal - PeerSpot reviewer
Data Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Centralized secrets have improved risk control but governance and documentation still need work
Akeyless Secrets Management can be improved by focusing on strategic areas of product enhancements to elevate it from a robust operational tool to a frictionless enterprise standard product. Development must prioritize maturity in release governance, user interface intuitiveness, and developer documentation. Addressing these areas will directly reduce friction and accelerate enterprise-wide adoption. More documentation should be included in the governance and quality assurance aspects because properly organized documents create a significant impact on the product. Akeyless Secrets Management could improve its zero-knowledge cryptography capabilities, as the documentation is still lacking. The use of distributed fragments cryptography can be enhanced by splitting encryption key fragments between Valmet's local gateways and Akeyless Secrets Management cloud. This would ensure that the cloud providers maintain mathematically inaccessible telemetry to third parties, presenting a significant improvement in zero-knowledge cryptography.

Auditing enhances privileged account security with a fast deployment
The support for the PAM product is not very prompt. Unlike other Manager products that provide remote assistance or support, for PAM, users have to log a case first and may receive a reply in one or two days. This process is slower compared to other products from the same manufacturer.
