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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is security."
"Integrating with other services was straightforward, especially within the AWS environment."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The product is easy to use and is inexpensive."
"I would highly recommend AWS Secrets Manager for secret management in AWS."
"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 most valuable feature of AWS Secrets Manager is its seamless integration with various AWS services."
"Secrets Manager helps in retrieving the enrollment variables used by the code."
"It has a double authentication factor increasing the security level."
"Available for Windows platforms and also Mac OS and Linux systems."
"The ability to share credentials easily and securely was a big improvement."
"Keeper was user-friendly."
"Support is very quick to respond, and they have fixed any issues that I have had."
"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 has a secure password generator that incorporates random creation tools and good security practices, which allows for an easy, quick, organized update and sharing with a work team."
"i have only one password to remember, which is the one to get me into Keeper."
 

Cons

"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."
"The price of the solution could improve."
"We occasionally have problems with rate limits, although that is a problem more generally with AWS."
"There is a potential improvement in connecting AWS Secrets Manager to Jenkins CI/CD pipeline to automatically reflect changes in production."
"If you add one more layer of security to AWS Secrets Manager, even the programmer will not be able to see the secrets."
"An area for improvement in AWS Secrets Manager could be expanding integration options beyond AWS services."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"The user experience and the mobile app could be improved."
"Its aesthetic needs improvement."
"The technical support has no experience."
"I would love it if you didn't have to re-authenticate when you start up a new browser."
"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."
"The password rotation feature could be improved."
"Rearranging folders via drag/drop functionality would be very helpful."
"API possible needs improvement. Although, this feature is for enterprises which need more then the usual usage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't believe there is a license cost for the solution."
"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."
"The cost is somewhat high."
"The solution is expensive."
"We purchase a monthly license for the product."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"Its price is reasonable."
"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
