Without it we would have to pay for a managed service by a cloud provider. Pros Vault is a quick and easy way to securely store secrets for access by multiple users/teams. It provides a service which is highly configurable and open source. Cons As Vault is a key-value store masked as a file-traverser, it can sometimes be unclear in which directory a secret is stored.

Senior Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Good tool to secure the sensitive data" December 21, 2022 5.0 Since applications have credentials, certificates etc that are spread across the organizations and since these are in plain text which makes an application vulnerable to attacks. For this purpose, HashiCorp Vault is used in order to secure the credentials and other sensitive data. It can be used to authenticate a user either via passwords or some dynamic configuration that would generate the tokens which are temporary and these tokens can be used to access the resource. Pros Easy to use and configureProvides encryption for storing Sensitive data like passwords, certificates etc Cons No dislikes as such since it is powerful tool to keep the sensitive data Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Maintenance Planner Food Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Vault Review" February 3, 2020 5.0 Overall, I would recommend Vault as a secret management solution due to its security and simplicity.

Pros i like the secrets replication feature it has with cloud providers ensuring security best practices. Cons i don’t like the learning curve it takes to become habituated to using vault for devops engineers.
