Easy to manage and maintain the password API but stability could be improved
I would advise doing a Proof of Concept first and then deciding accordingly because your use case might be simple. You can try out AWS Key Management or Azure Key Vault. They are different products. Do the POC and then decide what you need. Overall, I would rate the solution a six out of ten. No solution is a ten in my opinion.

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

"It is user-friendly and easy to implement from any application point."
"It can still be configured by a separate team other than developers. That's why I think it's more secure."
"It is a good product to consider for companies who are looking to build on-premise or hybrid infrastructure."
"The solution is stable. It has been working perfectly without any problem."
"The interface is very simple to navigate."
"We use the solution for secret management."
"The feature I find most beneficial in HashiCorp Vault is the secret engine. It integrates smoothly with many applications, making it easy to set up and implement quickly. This allows you to test it easily and see good results rapidly. When you integrate an internal API or application, it quickly manages that application's secrets."
"For me, the most valuable features include that it's easy to manage and maintain the password API for retrieving passwords and other things."
"I use the solution to build invoices for tenants or vendors."
 

Cons

"An improvement needed is the ability for auto-initialization. There should be an inbuilt option for automatic initialization rather than running it manually."
"An improvement needed is the ability for auto-initialization."
"We could use more documentation, primarily to do with integrations."
"The documentation is very general; it should have more examples and more use cases."
"In terms of features, the only thing that I found a little bit hinky was that there was no revocation or deletion on the model we were using. Once in a financial year, a client interacts, and you pay for that client for the year. So, there are just little things like that in the pricing. There should be more clarity around the end of the key. I know there is no system like this. They all are the same. I tested Microsoft, Google, and some others, and none of them really want you to delete a key, which makes sense. You delete a key, and you lose everything that it has wrapped or encrypted, but it's actually just a language. Deletion isn't really deletion. It's really revocation, but overall, HashiCorp Vault ticked all the boxes for us, and I couldn't fault it."
"The product needs to improve its customization. It should be also more like easy to plug and play."
"The solution's initial setup process is complicated."
"The technical support was hard to get a hold of and lacking in service."
"The tool has bugs and breaks down at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using the open-source version of Vault and I would have to buy a license if I want to get support."
"The product is expensive."
"It could do everything we wanted it to do and it is brilliant, but it is super pricey. To be fair to HashiCorp, we drove the price up with our requirements around resiliency. Because of the nature of our company, we don't really operate in the cloud."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"In my case, the open-source version works well. It's advisable for small to medium-scale organizations, but for large-scale organizations, you should go with the enterprise version."
"The AWS version is much cheaper than HashiCorp Vault."
"Zoho Vault is cheap."
