Consistent security and efficiency improvements optimize IT infrastructure with effective management
When creating AWS Secrets Manager, it should be automated using tools such as Terraform, Puppet, or Ansible. With Terraform code, you specify the encryption key, secret name, rotation policy, and secret replication. Human error occurs when feeding secret values manually, especially with large amounts of secrets to input. Secrets should never be protected only by IAM. They should be protected by multiple layers, such as IAM and one or two KMS keys. Additional security measures could be beneficial if necessary. The rotation policy is crucial because some secrets may become obsolete, require updates, or get compromised. With a weekly rotation policy, if unauthorized access occurs, the exposure is limited to seven days. The rotation policy can be customized according to needs.

Efficient credential management enhances security and productivity
Credential management was a significant advantage of Keeper. The ability to share credentials easily and securely was a big improvement. Previously, sharing passwords and credentials through email and teams was a problem. It resulted in notable productivity gains and increased security. We also used Keeper to block or handle non-standard sites that were not allowed, enhancing our control.

Cons

"The price of the solution could improve."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"There is a need for better environmental implementation, such as having a security fund as a solution."
"It would be good if the AWS Secrets Manager were more customizable."
"If you add one more layer of security to AWS Secrets Manager, even the programmer will not be able to see the secrets."
"The sidecar feature has room for improvement."
"AWS Secrets Manager could support hybrid infrastructure."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"API possible needs improvement. Although, this feature is for enterprises which need more then the usual usage."
"The organization of items needs improvement. For example, when I log onto the cloud version as well, everything is shown on my folder. It is hard to differentiate between files and documents in my list of items I have stored inside."
"The password rotation feature could be improved."
"I would add a category for personal documents or photos of ID cards."
"Keeper does not provide password management for mobile apps."
"Its aesthetic needs improvement."
"I would like to see a way to store files and photos in the next update​. If it already does this, I have yet to explore it."
"Maybe a sort of category organizer to help with organizing passwords for different things, such as banking, medical, shopping, and school."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"I don't believe there is a license cost for the solution."
"We purchase a monthly license for the product."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"We've observed that AWS Secrets Manager pricing is based on a per-secret-per-month model. As a result, we prefer to divide our secrets into individual pieces to increase security and grant specific access permissions to certain secrets, systems, or individuals. However, this approach results in higher costs. Therefore, we have been exploring ways to combine our secrets into groups to reduce expenses and simplify management. Nonetheless, we acknowledge that this issue may not be related to the secret manager's functionality."
"Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"Its price is reasonable."
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
