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.

Helps to build invoices but needs to improve the issue with bugs
I use the solution to build invoices for tenants or vendors.  The tool has bugs and breaks down at times.  I have been using Zoho Vault for a long time.  I would rate the tool's stability a seven out of ten.  I would rate Zoho Vault's scalability a seven out of ten. My company has 20-30 users…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support from Microsoft is excellent."
"With Azure Key Vault you have something that is free, enterprise-level, global, and it just works."
"It integrates well with Azure services and is easy to use and quick to provision."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and enabling our clients to manage keys."
"The product's integration capabilities are good."
"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."
"We use Azure Key Vault for securing secret connection streams, like API secrets, Azure services Secret Key, and AD Client Secret."
"I am satisfied with the product overall."
"I use the solution to build invoices for tenants or vendors."
 

Cons

"If you check the capabilities of other key management services across Amazon, HashiCorp, and Google, there are features that Key Vault doesn't have. It could be the case that when you use Key Vault, you might be forced to use a third-party solution to get certain services. If those services could be included in Key Vault, there would be diminished reasons to go for a third-party key management system."
"Azure needs to provide versions of Key Vault that are suitable for different sizes of companies."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"The integration with Thales HSM is complex and is not out-of-the-box. Uploading the keys was quite a tedious process."
"We encountered a few problems where Azure had infrastructure problems like the DMS."
"I think the product needs upgrades in terms of access control and certification improvements."
"Azure Key Vault is only available for Microsoft services, and it should be exposed to non-Microsoft cloud services, like GCP and Amazon."
"They should add a key vault feature for the databases temporarily integrated into hybrid clouds."
"The tool has bugs and breaks down at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten."
"There are no extra costs beyond the standard fees, beyond maybe data transfer charges. It's $0.025 per 10,000 data transactions, so it is quite cheap."
"Azure is cheaper than CyberArk... CyberArk is good, but it's quite expensive."
"The price of the solution is reasonable for what we are using it for."
"The price of the product is okay for my company."
"The product costs much less compared to other vendors."
"It is a cheap option."
"I give the price of the solution a ten out of ten."
"Zoho Vault is cheap."
