Overview
Akeyless Identity Security Platform secures AI agents, machines, and human identities across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. It provides a unified control plane for access, credentials, and identity lifecycle, eliminating reliance on long-lived secrets while enforcing least-privilege access and real-time governance.
The platform combines:
-Secrets management to centrally manage and rotate credentials
-Multi-Vault Governance to unify visibility and control across AWS and third-party vaults
-Privileged access management with just-in-time, least-privilege access
-Certificate lifecycle management to automate issuance, renewal, and rotation
-Enterprise password manager to securely manage workforce credentials
-AI agent identity security to secure autonomous agents with ephemeral, scoped access
All capabilities operate through a single policy and audit framework, helping eliminate credential sprawl while maintaining consistent governance across environments.
Akeyless secures AI agents without embedding credentials in code, prompts, or workflows. Instead of static API keys or tokens, agents receive ephemeral, policy-bound access only when needed. The platform enforces intent-aware control by evaluating requested actions before access is granted, issuing task-scoped, short-lived credentials, and continuously inspecting execution. This ensures every interaction is governed, auditable, and traceable from prompt to outcome.
The Akeyless platform is FIPS 140-3 validated and powered by patented Distributed Fragments Cryptography (DFC) and a zero-knowledge architecture, ensuring encryption keys and secrets are never fully assembled or accessible, even to Akeyless.
Akeyless is built on AWS and integrates natively with core services. It can be deployed alongside AWS Secrets Manager, extend Amazon EKS security with Kubernetes secrets injection, and support AWS Key Management Service (KMS) for cryptographic operations and key storage. Audit logs can be centralized in Amazon S3 for visibility and compliance. Enterprise customers can contact cloudalliance@akeyless.io to request a Private Offer through AWS Marketplace.

Dimensions summary
This listing bills on a single contract dimension: Clients. A Client is any human user, application, or server that starts a remote session with the service. Multiple instances of the same application count as one Client. A single user with several authentication methods also counts once. You purchase an annual quota of Clients under a 12-month contract. The platform tracks distinct Clients at the end of each month. If your use exceeds the annual quota, any overage is invoiced at the end of the contract term based on actual usage.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The platform counts distinct Clients at the end of each month. A Client is a human user, application, or server that starts a remote session with the service. Multiple instances of the same application count as one Client. Items that never initiate a session in a given period are not counted.
A single user with multiple authentication methods counts as one Client. Likewise, multiple running instances of the same application count as one Client. Only distinct human users, applications, or servers that initiate a remote session add to your total.
If usage is projected to reach or exceed your annual Client quota, you receive written notice. Any overage is invoiced at the end of the 12-month contract period, based on actual usage. There is no automatic mid-term tier change; reconciliation happens at term end.

Centralized secrets management has strengthened security and simplifies credential rotation
Reviewed on Jul 21, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
Akeyless Secrets Management is used to store secrets such as database credentials and TransUnion certificates for the production environment. For example, a team stores PostgreSQL usernames and passwords in Akeyless instead of in application.properties. A Spring Boot application authenticates to Akeyless at startup, retrieves the credentials at runtime, and uses them to connect to the database. Regarding certificates, a team stores TLS certificates and private keys securely in Akeyless. Application services retrieve them when needed, and administrators can rotate certificates centrally instead of manually replacing them on every server.
How has it helped my organization?
Akeyless Secrets Management has positively impacted our organization because it has improved security through simpler credential rotation policies. Passwords, API keys, and certificates can be updated centrally without manually changing every application. This has resulted in better access control through role-based permissions and enhanced auditability.
Specific outcomes include the reduction in secret rotation time from hours to minutes after automating rotation. Fewer secrets are now stored in source code or configuration repositories after migration to centralized secret management, which is very important for our company. Manual effort has been reduced significantly because of this. New applications' secrets are managed centrally now. Incident response is very fast because speed is everything in this context.
What is most valuable?
Akeyless Secrets Management offers centralized secret management that stores API keys, passwords, certificates, and SSH keys. It provides dynamic and rotated secrets, role-based access control that lets administrators define who or what can access specific secrets, and a zero-knowledge architecture that uses distributed fragments cryptography design. It also offers support for services like Kubernetes.
The feature I rely on the most in my daily work is centralized secret management, as it is often considered the core capability because it reduces the need to store credentials across multiple applications. Role-based access control is also very valuable and important in larger organizations, and because our organization is growing, it is very helpful. Dynamic secret storing is very valuable to me, and Kubernetes support is essential for our operations.
What needs improvement?
Akeyless Secrets Management could be improved in several areas. The initial setup was quite difficult for me. The documentation and tutorials must include end-to-end examples for Kubernetes and CI/CD integrations in general. The UI/UX can be enhanced, and they should offer clear pricing and feature comparisons between different service tiers.
Onboarding and documentation should be clearer for first-time users. Integration examples for different tools, such as integrating Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines in general, can be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Akeyless Secrets Management for quite some time now in my company.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Akeyless Secrets Management is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Akeyless Secrets Management supports thousands of applications, users, and secrets, which demonstrates that it is highly scalable. It provides support for multi-cloud and hybrid deployments as well.
How are customer service and support?
I do not think we have used customer support for Akeyless Secrets Management, as if used by anyone, it will be the higher authorities in our company. I have not had a single issue with Akeyless Secrets Management.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
As far as I can remember regarding Akeyless Secrets Management, I do not think we were using anything else before, though it may have been Google Secret Manager before we changed it.
There were other options that the company was looking forward to considering, such as AWS Secrets Manager. We were using Google Secret Manager as far as I can remember a couple of years back, but we chose Akeyless Secrets Management instead.
What was our ROI?
Common metrics regarding return on investment with Akeyless Secrets Management include time saved because of its secret rotation policies. Operational effort has been reduced as it automated credential management. I have hardly seen any security incidents, and overall it has been very beneficial.
What other advice do I have?
The advice that I would personally give regarding Akeyless Secrets Management is that before adopting any secrets management platform, you should define what your security and compliance requirements are. Identify your cloud environments and the DevOps tools that you are integrating with. Evaluate ease of deployment, pricing, rotation policies, access controls, logging, integrations for Kubernetes, and scalability. My overall rating for this product is eight out of ten.
