"My experience so far with HashiCorp's Vault software/platform"
5/5
What do you like best about IBM Vault (formerly HashiCorp Vault)?

Personally and Professionally.. So, far i think the best thing i like about the Vault product is secure secret storage for API Keys and dynamic secrets. Also, the sheer fact that we can also utilize this as our CA aka Certificate Authority is huge and extremely awesome! Besides that, we're enabling Docker/Kubernetes access via Vault, and this is a huge breakthrough for us as an organization that is redefining a lot of things in our industry, especially in IoT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Vault (formerly HashiCorp Vault)?

I don't really dislike anything. However, if i had to specify one specific thing, i would have to say large data encryption. But, due to my limited knowledge i can't truly say it's a dislike. It's just taken some work with my minimal knowledge to get applications setup properly to encrypt all their data types and then storing it in specific locations. Please do not take this "Dislike" the wrong way though. This product works great in many scenarios and i have no regrets thus far either way. It's not a dislike per say, just a learning curve for some of the typical use cases.. but is still coming along just fine for us overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good experience but some keys features missing"
4/5
What do you like best about IBM Vault (formerly HashiCorp Vault)?

Secret as a Service (Dynamic secrets) and flexibility.

Good integration with multiple authentication provider. Good varities on Dynamic secrets and can be used with Encryption as a Service.

The installation and configuration is very easy. We can up and running a cluster in 1 day.

The rolling update is easy and we can quickly add more cluster nodes if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Vault (formerly HashiCorp Vault)?

Vault integration with project is leak.

We have one side the Vault agent, and other side the Consul template or envconsul. For example, envconsul didn't work with Vault agent auto-auth token.

It's hard sometime to use Vault because projects don't want (or haven't budget for) to develop Vault code lines integration.

The Vault UI is very basic. Some actions can't be done with the UI. Add more UI features for administration facilities.

Dynamic secrets is great but some time legacy application couldn't not use it. Should be great to have static secret with specific hook trigger to rotate password. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Different method of authentication! Many engines with unique capabilities. Good integration with other Hashicorp products. Compatible with all the modern tools. Cloud friendly!

"Best in class Product - but disappointed with the service"
4/5
What do you like best about IBM Vault (formerly HashiCorp Vault)?

I like the product and its working. It's quite easy to setup and start using effortlessly. There are very good enough documentations and tutorials on the internet to use vault precisely to meet your requirements. And it has almost all of the functionality you can expect from a secrets management product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Vault (formerly HashiCorp Vault)?

I am very satisfied with the product. But I am not sure about the service. I wanted a demo and quotation of their product - So I did fill up the form for getting started with vault enterprise. I did not receive any sort of communication email from them - regarding the product or the demo. After I filled up the form - It did say that a demo will be provided. Still waiting for the same.
