4/5

What do you like best about AWS Secrets Manager?

The ease of integration and availability the secrets manager provides. All of my services within AWS can access it easily with a little IAM permission magic. Tapping into this service was simple and effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Secrets Manager?

I'd like to be able to store more complex objects within the secrets manager, but that may be beyond the scope of what it was intended for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS Secrets Manager:

There are other options out there such as Consul from Hashicorp, but you'll have to setup and maintain the infrastructure yourself. This service is out of the box and easy to maintain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Secrets Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a distributed, simple mechanism for storing authentication keys with the various services we have that need to communicate in a secure manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
