"Company 6months POC"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Akeyless Identity Security Platform?

When it comes to the Akeyless Platform, its simplicity of use and its simplicity of implementation truly stands out as its most commendable feature. The user interface is intuitively designed, making navigation a breeze, even for those new to the platform. The support team guys were truly efficient, patient and reactive especially when it cames to debugging things or make a specific app integration works.

In short, every dev teams that I've work with prefered Akeyless over Vault.

We integrated the same things with both solutions but only faster with Akeyless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Akeyless Identity Security Platform?

While the Akeyless Platform has numerous strengths, one aspect that might be considered a drawback and that I disliked is its closed-source nature.

From my point of view, open-source software fosters transparency, collaboration, and community-driven innovation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Akeyless is the best solution to store you secrets!"

4/5

What do you like best about Akeyless Identity Security Platform?

It was very easy to move all our secrets from K8s to the Akeyless platform, additionally protect them by customer fragment. The key injects into the pod very fast, and using access roles you can allow to fetch secrest from specific folder which significally improve security level.

"A DevOps Engineer's Review of Akeyless Vault"

5/5

What do you like best about Akeyless Identity Security Platform?

In my experience, Akeyless Vault has been a game-changer for seamless integration with DevOps tools and ease of use. It connects directly with my team’s DevOps tool stack, which includes Terraform, Ansible, and CircleCI, which are critical to our daily operations. This makes it easy to automate secret management, allowing my team and me to focus on other essential tasks. And because it’s a SaaS solution, Akeyless is quick to deploy, requires minimal maintenance, and has dependable uptime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Akeyless Identity Security Platform?

There’s really nothing that I truly “dislike,” but enhancing the available documentation would make it even easier for DevOps engineers like myself to fully leverage the tool and improve our overall experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Akeyless Identity Security Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Akeyless Vault has been instrumental in solving several critical pain points for my team. These include:

Automated secret injection and rotation. Akeyless Vault automates the process of injecting and rotating secrets, eliminating the need for manual secret management. This has significantly improved our security posture and freed up time for us to focus on other tasks.

Encrypted customer details. Working in the financial services industry, encryption and decryption of PII are essential. Akeyless Vault provides encryption-as-a-service, reducing the time and effort we previously spent on these tasks.

Cross-cloud provider support. Our startup operates across multiple cloud environments, which previously made managing secrets and implementing least privilege access challenging. Akeyless Vault's support for multiple cloud providers has simplified this process, ensuring a more consistent and secure approach to secret management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great tool for managing credentials and secrets"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Akeyless Identity Security Platform?

How easily their solution slots into my day-to-day routine. I find that Akeyless Vault is a great tool for making sure my team can code quickly, using dynamic injections of credentials and keys.

One of the things I like most about it is its ability to provide granular access control, allowing me to easily manage and restrict access to sensitive information based on my team's various roles. These needs often change as personnel moves around, and Akeyless has played a large part in keeping everything managed.

Additionally, the integration of Akeyless Vault with Ansible makes it easy to use its secret management tools across the environments that we configure using Ansible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Akeyless Identity Security Platform?

There isn't really anything that I dislike about Akyless Vault. The most difficult aspect of use and integration was organizational and on our end. It was related to getting our dev team up to date with the latest security best practices for code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Akeyless Identity Security Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

The product solves the problem of keeping up with rapid dev cycles in a way that doesn't involve deploying vulnerable code. It also helps with managing and granting access to secrets like credentials and keys from one platform. This benefits me as a build engineer by allowing me to easily and efficiently manage access to this sensitive information, ensuring that it is only available to those who need it and that access can be easily restricted or revoked as needed. Additionally, the integration with Ansible allows me to automate the retrieval and use of these secrets within our Ansible playbooks, further streamlining my workflow and reducing the risk of human error. Overall, the use of Vault is helping to improve the security and efficiency of my organisations operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Super important part of my workflow"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Akeyless Identity Security Platform?

My favorite Akeyless Vault feature is probably the ability to dynamically generate secrets on demand. This allows me to provide access to sensitive data to my team members or applications without actually storing the raw secrets in plaintext. Instead, the secrets are generated on-the-fly when they are needed and are only accessible for a limited time. This helps to reduce the risk of secrets being leaked or compromised, as they are only accessible for a short period of time. It also helps to streamline the process of providing access to sensitive data, as I don't have to manually manage and rotate secrets as frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Akeyless Identity Security Platform?

I have barely any complaints! Honestly, if we could integrate the support with our organization's slack channel I think I would have absolutely zero issues with Akeyless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Akeyless Identity Security Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of the main problems it solves for me is the issue of secret management. As an engineer, it's my responsibility to ensure that our team has access to the sensitive data they need to do their jobs, but at the same time, it's also my responsibility to ensure that this data is kept secure. Storing secrets in plaintext is a security risk, as it increases the chance that they could be accidentally leaked or stolen. By using dynamic secret generation, I can provide my team with the access they need while minimizing the risk of a breach.

Additionally, this feature helps to streamline the process of granting and revoking access to sensitive data. I can set up policies that determine which team members or applications are allowed to access specific secrets, and I can easily revoke access if necessary. This helps to ensure that only authorized individuals or systems have access to sensitive data, and it makes it easier for me to keep track of who has access to what.

Overall, the dynamic secret generation feature in the Vault helps to improve the security and efficiency of our team's workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure and user friendly!!!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Akeyless Identity Security Platform?

Overall, I find Akeyless Vault to be an essential tool for managing secrets and sensitive data in a secure and centralized way. It allows me to focus on building and deploying applications, while knowing that my secrets are being managed in a safe and secure manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Akeyless Identity Security Platform?

It is sort off the same for its competitors too, but because it is a centralized tool, it can become a single point of failure in the event of a loss or outage. This can be mitigated by implementing proper disaster recovery and backup procedures, but it is something that organizations need to be aware of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure all-in-one secret and certificate solution"

4/5

What do you like best about Akeyless Identity Security Platform?

I like multiple aspects of the platform:

Supports importing secrets. I have imported from AWS secrets manager and Kubernetes Secrets.

Supports temporary/dynamic secrets that are time limited and expire after a certain time period which is super helpful for testing new applications.

Certificates (specifically PKI and SSH) can be stored securely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Akeyless Identity Security Platform?

The cost of the platform. Unfortunately, our setup with Akeyless Vault was delayed because I needed to seek manager approval for the spend. The annual cost came out to just above the approval threshold. While this isn't a problem with Akeyless Vault itself, it's not the inexpensive solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Akeyless Identity Security Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our internal environment moved from on-premises hardware to a multi-cloud environment which meant that usage of secrets and identities jumped, and we needed to figure out a new secure management solution. Akeyless Vault has provided the infrastructure needed and is overall a good solution to manage our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User friendly platform"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Akeyless Identity Security Platform?

Akeyless Vault's platform is extremely user-friendly. It has a simple interface that is easy to navigate. Additionally, Akeyless Vault integrates well with other environments. I use it every day to manage secrets and to access sensitive data in multiple different environments. I think this is probably my favorite feature, as I appreciate agnostic tools.

Another thing I like about Akeyless Vault is that it is very secure. It uses industry-standard encryption algorithms to protect data. Additionally, Akeyless Vault has a robust access control system that allows me to control the organization members that have access to different secrets. There is also an audit trail.

Lastly, I appreciate that Akeyless Vault is constantly being updated with new features and security enhancements. The team behind Akeyless Vault seems committed to making it the best product it can be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Akeyless Identity Security Platform?

It’s not a dislike, perse, but I do think that there should be more documentation provided. I get that it’s a SaaS and cloud solutions typically have less documentation, but I do believe that comprehensive documentation is important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Akeyless Identity Security Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

In our organization, Akeyless Vault provides a central place to manage secrets and sensitive data. This includes both static secrets like passwords and API keys, and dynamic secrets like database credentials. By using Akeyless Vault, we can rotate secrets on a regular basis and control who has access to them. This gives us greater security and compliance with industry regulations.
