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.

What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product 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.
