Akeyless helps us to store our secrets in a secure location
Best vault+ platform ever!
What do you like best about the product?
Akeyless solves the problems that other platforms don't have or still improving. First of all, it's a local stateless proxy (aka gateway) which simplifies the management and access. It’s also capable to cache secrets to improve access times, and thus application access. Next, it's the know-how proprietary encryption technology (DFC) that includes customer owned encryption key fragment that Akeyless doesn't have access to - this provides nearly 100% confidence in secrets safety and almost 0 chances to be decrypted by a bad actor. Next significant thing - variable solutions it provides. It's not only secrets platform, but also SRA (secure remote access), certificates and many other nice-to-have features that we'll use some day. This is simply a one-in-all platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the UI /UX could be better designed. Navigation through numerous folders and secrets is sometimes tricky if you want to quickly get from one place to another in UI. Like from search results to the folder containing the secret, as a simple example. Many UI elements are cut (not fully displayed) unless you go to properties or mouseover. In short - there is a lot to improve in UI to make the navigation and management much easier and faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves many problems, I'll mention a few.
First and foremost - Akeyless is a centralized secrets management platform that solves problem for multi-cloud secrets storage, unifies the access and avoids duplicates.
Next would be it's SRA feature - secure remote access, which enables easy and controllable access to resources without having anyone know/remember the passwords, simplifying employee onboarding and offboarding.
Last would be the customer owned encryption key fragment (zero knowledge key). This also solves the problem of unattended/human error/intended/what-not access between different environment (e.g. dev -> production), and no matter what permissions been granted - it still would be impossible to decrypt secrets thanks to the ability to encrypt different secrets with different encryption keys.

Akeyless is the best solution to store you secrets!
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, we're looking for the possibility to fetch secrets for Windows containers. Unfortunatly, it isn't supported right now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Akeyless is centralised place for all our secrets, this allow us easily manage them across different environments.
Company 6months POC
What do you like best about the product?
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
Connectors to mainstream applications are available but more connectors would be very much appreciated
In Europe, there is only one or two contractors that can implement the solution. So you need to do it yourself with some professional services from the editor.

Secrets :
- Akeyless manage all the secrets for the IaC and applications needs. It is directly linked with VSC solutions within the CI/CD pipelines and secrets are deployed wether on the runner or directly within the K8S clusters
- It is used by administrators to store all their secrets
- When targets supports secrets/password rotation, daily rotation is applied on it (if this is not "after use" rotation)
- Secrets are consumed thanks to a zero-trust approach and no any secrets are stored within the configurations anymore
PAM :
- No any administrator know their secrets or has access to their secrets as the vault manage the secrets for them. So there is no anymore social engineering related attack possible.
- Thanks to the portal, administrators can see in one screen all their access
- Any administration flow must go through the Akeyless bastion to isolate the session
- Governance security team can manage who has access to which target with wich account

A DevOps Engineer's Review of Akeyless Vault
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product 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.

A great tool for managing credentials and secrets
What do you like best about the product?
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product 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.
Secure and user friendly!!!
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overall, Akeyless Vault helps me to securely and efficiently manage secrets and sensitive data, allowing me to focus on building and deploying applications without worrying about the security of the secrets they use.
Super important part of my workflow
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product 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.
