Ensures dynamic secret retrieval and automates security measures
AWS Secrets Manager is a fully managed service that allows our applications to retrieve secrets dynamically at runtime. This protects sensitive information, such as keys or credentials, from being compromised. It also automates the secrets, eliminating the need for manual rotation, thereby providing significant security and efficiency benefits. Furthermore, secrets are encrypted at rest using the AES 256-bit standard encryption algorithm.
Mahesh Subramanian - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps with password management and sharing
The tool's setup was easy and we have deployed it on the cloud. The deployment was quick and we completed it in less than a week. We have two teams one in the US and another in India. We first implemented Keeper in the US, got feedback, and then implemented it in India. The overall deployment took about four months to complete.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product is easy to use and is inexpensive."
"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."
"AWS Secrets Manager is used for storing secret information that has to be a secret from your customer and your employees."
"Secrets Manager helps in retrieving the enrollment variables used by the code."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Secrets Manager is its seamless integration with various AWS services."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Secrets Manager is the ability to keep data secret and assign access permissions to people to grant or restrict access."
"I would highly recommend AWS Secrets Manager for secret management in AWS."
"It is nice to be able to use my Touch ID and have access to all my passwords in one place."
"Password sharing and SSO. These features almost become a necessity to make sure that company data is safe and reduce the possibility of data breach."
"The chat support is quick. I have never encountered any problems. On the contrary, they have been very helpful and kind."
"Support is very quick to respond, and they have fixed any issues that I have had."
"We can access our sign-ins and passwords on up to five devices per user. This means I can access a given site and my login and password for that site from my home and office computers as well as my phone and iPad."
"Keeper was user-friendly."
"i have only one password to remember, which is the one to get me into Keeper."
"Stronger passwords are being used across the board in our organization."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"AWS Secrets Manager could support hybrid infrastructure."
"It would be good if the AWS Secrets Manager were more customizable."
"There is a potential improvement in connecting AWS Secrets Manager to Jenkins CI/CD pipeline to automatically reflect changes in production."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"Ability to set up password profiles that can predefine custom fields and password complexity."
"Room for improvement in my eyes would be being able to share my credit cards and other types of information. The only thing they really share is passwords, and you can only do it with one password at a time. When you're trying to share it out or trying to remove it from being shared, you can't do multiple selections."
"Needs to improve KeeperFill on iOS."
"The stability of the solution can be improved."
"The user experience and the mobile app could be improved."
"API possible needs improvement. Although, this feature is for enterprises which need more then the usual usage."
"The technical support for this solution could be faster support and improved if they had a better understanding of my questions."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We purchase a monthly license for the product."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"I don't believe there is a license cost for the solution."
"It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
"Its price is reasonable."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
