Mahadev Metre - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Secrets Manager helps in retrieving the enrollment variables used by the code."
"AWS Secrets Manager is used for storing secret information that has to be a secret from your customer and your employees."
"It's highly scalable, so I'd rate it a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Secrets Manager is its seamless integration with various AWS services."
"Integrating with other services was straightforward, especially within the AWS environment."
"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."
"The solution is very scalable."
"It is nice to be able to use my Touch ID and have access to all my passwords in one place."
"Keeper Bridge."
"​The installation and its use are very simple​."
"I like a couple of things about this solution. Being able to share passwords with other people is valuable. You can see if the information is out on the dark web and whether you have weak passwords and the last time they were changed. You could also have the 2FA or MFA codes embedded in the application so that you don't have to use your phone or any other 2FA device, which is something very important."
"It saves us from duplicating passwords for different accounts."
"Chrome extension and app."
"Stronger passwords are being used across the board in our organization."
"i have only one password to remember, which is the one to get me into Keeper."
 

Cons

"An area for improvement in AWS Secrets Manager could be expanding integration options beyond AWS services."
"It would be good if the AWS Secrets Manager were more customizable."
"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."
"AWS Secrets Manager could support hybrid infrastructure."
"We occasionally have problems with rate limits, although that is a problem more generally with AWS."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The sidecar feature has room for improvement."
"The password rotation feature could be improved."
"I would add a category for personal documents or photos of ID cards."
"Its aesthetic needs improvement."
"Possible offline access to passwords. Therefore, when internet access is unavailable, I can still access my vault."
"They could possibly add a pre-designed contact feature that would work similar to a cell phone contact feature."
"Needs to improve KeeperFill on iOS."
"Search functions are sometimes weird."
"Rearranging folders via drag/drop functionality would be very helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Its price is reasonable."
"Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
