Have addressed compliance challenges but still struggle with seamless integration of certificate issuance between environments
In terms of Azure Key Vault improvements, we have to compare the competitor. If we consider AWS, our bank has Microsoft PKI, which is a Microsoft product, for the entire digital certificate infrastructure. Even in the cloud, when it is AWS, the internal certificates are MS PKI. When we had a problem, users had to come to on-premise to get a certificate and import it to AWS Certificate Manager and assign it. We wondered why we could not issue the certificate directly from the cloud for cloud users. There was a simple way in AWS. They have a Private Certificate Authority (PCA) and Amazon Certificate Manager. Private Certificate Authority issues certificates to Amazon services. They also provide Amazon Certificate Manager to store and deploy certificates. These are two neat components - one is an issuer and another is storage and deployment solutions for certificates. With PCA, I can directly enable it and get certificates from AWS itself. AWS can issue SSL/TLS certificates if you enable it directly. If you consider Azure, it is not very clear. Even the naming convention, Key Vault, might not suggest that this is a PKI or certificate manager. You cannot issue certificates directly. They have app certificates and did not have a clear-cut certificate management solution in the cloud when I worked at that time. I am not sure whether they have updated Azure Key Vault as a full-fledged PKI solution now. From what I saw, it was not a full-fledged PKI solution. We are not majorly using Azure Key Vault because it is only for storing secrets. If some solutions can provide guidance on how we can maximize leverage, we can immediately look forward to doing that. We already have some business problems we want to solve. While our primary focus is AWS, many of the services such as ADO are running on Azure, and the secondary services are growing bigger.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A high level of security."
"The integration with other Azure services is one of the standout features for me. It allows us to use secrets from the Azure Key Vault seamlessly without direct interaction.Additionally, the ability to easily mark secrets for expiration and receive notifications is invaluable."
"Once we got Microsoft Azure Key Vault set up and injected into our code, we have had pretty good success storing our secrets and passwords for our integrations and applications."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Key Vault are the security and convenience of changing passwords in multiple places."
"The GUI was quite easy for me to use."
"I am satisfied with the product overall."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is its ability to keep our admin password accounts for keys and a lot of our high-value assets."
"The solution can scale up as needed."
"The solution is easy to use, the performance has been good, the integration capabilities have been good, and it is very stable and quite secure."
"I like the ability to share passwords without them being visible to other team members, and the auto-fill capabilities are great too."
"The synchronization is the solution's most valuable feature; it works really well, and the ability to have secure notes is also very helpful."
"The integration capabilities have been good."
"Dashlane's most valuable feature is Hotspot Shield, the VPN feature that allows you to connect securely to public wifi."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve reliability and protection."
"Inability to access the solution on the phone."
"It would be great if Azure allowed more third-party vendors into the ecosystem."
"There's room for improvement in cross-platform compatibility."
"To make it a ten the setup should be more streamlined."
"It is complicated to use different services and products along with Azure Key Vault."
"Azure Key Vault has a lot of glitches."
"The solution could be improved by making it accessible to more people."
"The integration with the VPN feature could be smoother."
"It would be nice to have the solution localized in Europe. Dashlane is an American company. It's controlled by American laws and regulations that allows the American government to have full access to my data with Dashlane. That's why I am leaving Dashlane, because we can't accept such an important function in American control."
"There should also be an easier way to be able to transfer user data to other users who have kind of left the company. It could be a little bit cheaper."
"The cost, while decent, of course, could always be less."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the Azure Key Vault is very high and the pricing model is based on the number of keys that you store and retrieve."
"I find the pricing of Azure Key Vault to be reasonable."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten."
"The product costs much less compared to other vendors."
"The price of the product is okay for my company."
"Azure Key Vault is expensive."
"Key Vault, like every Azure service, has a cost associated with it, but you don't have to spend thousands of dollars to spin up an environment to build a key management system. It's already there."
"Azure is cheaper than CyberArk... CyberArk is good, but it's quite expensive."
"It is a little bit on the expensive side."
