There are many things to like about Akeyless Vault. First, it is a very powerful tool that can help manage secrets and sensitive data. It is also easy to use and has a user-friendly interface. Additionally, Akeyless Vault integrates well with other tools and systems, making it a great choice for managing secrets in a large organization. I have used it in many DevOps environments including Kubernetes and it has integrated well in all cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Akeyless is much easier to use than other solutions but it does lack documentation if you find yourself needing it. Thankfully, I haven’t needed any documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of things to like about AKeyLess's Vault product, but perhaps the thing I like best is its simplicity. It's easy to set up and use, and it doesn't require a lot of configuration or management. This makes it ideal for organizations of any size, and it can be used in a variety of DevOps environments. I have used Vault in multiple organizations, occasionally in startups but mostly in bigger teams. Another thing I like about the AKeyLess product is its security. It uses strong encryption to protect your secrets, and it has a number of features that help to keep your data safe, including role-based access control and auditing. Finally, the reliability of AKeyLess Vault is excellent. The SLA is industry standard, and I have tested it in a wide variety of environments. This makes it a good choice for organizations that need a reliable secrets management solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven’t had any really terrible or bad experiences that are worth mentioning here. But I did have an issue setting up remote desktop access, but that was handled after consulting with the support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AKeyless has a lot of integrations out of the box with all the CI/CD tools (github, gitlab, jenkins, etc). AWS and terraform integrations are solid as well. Other useful platform features include some Privileged access management and some PKI as well. It can handle most industry common scenarios well and the local gateway with SAAS console hybrid solution gives you good flexibility and redundancy. Log forwarding to security analytics platform is useful for secret auditing. Product is constantly growing and adding more things Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentation could be better. Some of the documentation is vague in areas so you either have to figure it out or speak with support. Some features are missing, but like I mentioned above the product is constantly growing. Gateway management/updates is either scripted or manual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Akeyless has multiple integrations available with most of the Industry leading CICD tools(Jenkins, CircleCI,Azure DevOps). We can manage secrets easily for different tenants using different CICD tools and Configuration.

Not even CICD, we can store creds for all public, private and on-premise environments which makes it more efficient and Reusable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Documentation part could be a little better apart from that I don't see any issue. Comparing it with Hashicorp vault its easy to get started with and use as it supports command-line control as well as a graphical user interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of my favorite features include:

- Akeyless vault is SOC2 and FIPS certified. In my current industry this is a must and it means that a lot of the competition is a non-starter for us.

-The ability to grant granular access permissions to specific users, groups, or roles, making it easy to control who has access to which secrets.

-The ability to audit all activity, and I mean all activity, from logins to access history and providing a detailed history of all changes made to secrets.

-The ease of use and intuitive interface, making it easy for both experienced users and newcomers to get up and running quickly. This made onboarding our organization rather seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn’t much to dislike. The features advertised are the features that are provided and work well in the product. I can’t comment on the support as I haven’t experienced it. I can agree with the reviews that mention documentation needing improvement as it could be considered “light”. This was known to us when making the purchasing decision.

Some of my favorite features of Vault include:

1. The ability to store secrets in a variety of formats. This makes it easy to store and access secrets regardless of the programming language or platform you are using. I have the most experience using Akeyless with Kubernetes environments.

2. The ability to access secrets through a variety of mechanisms, including a web-based interface, command line interface, and even a REST API. This makes it easy to access your secrets from anywhere in your organization.

3. The ability to audit all activity in Akeyless, including who accessed which secrets and when. This helps you to keep track of who is accessing your secrets and helps you to ensure that your secrets are safe and secure. If investigations are needed - audit logs make it easy.

4. The ability to set up role-based access controls, which allow you to control which users have access to which secrets. This helps you to ensure that only the right people have access to your secrets.

Overall, I believe that Akeyless is an excellent solution for managing secrets and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a secure and reliable way to store their secrets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The expiration time of SSH keys in Akeyless Vault is less than ideal because it can cause issues when sharing keys with teammates. I think an option to extend the expiration timing would be a fantastic addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentation could be a little better, some things are very well explained and some are just to find out by trying. Missing some features which I'm sure will be added in future, for example - temporary access to secrets, approving the access to the secrets. Installation of the browser extension is something I think is not the best way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
