HashiCorp Vault vs. Venafi Zero Touch PKI

HashiCorp Vault, in my opinion, is a defacto standard for any cloud or automation implementation. They're the best of the best as far as products for secrets management and the ability to use it against relatively any service you have is unheard of for other products. HashiCorp has really taken out all the stops when it comes to creating a nice, extensible tool that people can use to suit their needs.

It works well for managing certificates in large, intricate systems, particularly in cloud and hybrid configurations. For tiny settings where certificate management is not necessary, it is less helpful.

• The HTTP API you use to write and read secrets is open and can be used by any application.
• It keeps our sensitive data/credentials out of our GitLab repositories.
• Sealing and unsealing the Vault on demand adds an additional layer of security.

• It handles our certifications; no manual labor is required.
• keeps things from breaking by promptly renewing certifications.

HashiCorp Vault is the best there is out there, and it has become critical to our secret management use cases. It would be difficult to find anything that would suit our needs better and that would be beneficial for us to switch over to.

We spent a little more time than we imagined to conceptually understand how HashiCorp Vault operates, as well as how it is configured. This is not trivial, and keep in mind that you will need to take some time to get a thorough understanding of the tool. The documentation could be more helpful in this regard.

Once set up, it's quite simple to use. It saves time, avoids errors, automates everything, and requires little manual labor to operate across several systems.

Hashicorp has been very responsive to our questions and inquiries up to this point. We are currently working on them to develop a more granular permissions model within Vault. We are very close to achieving our objectives with the help of their support team. We do not seem to be in the same time zone which makes it hard for escalated issues.

HashiCorp Vault is way better than Azure Key Vault; it has more features and it goes beyond a key-value secret store.

Venafi Zero Touch PKI is notable for its robust automation and user-friendliness in hybrid settings. It is more suitable for us in terms of time savings and less manual errors because it is easier to set up and manage than GlobalSign, and Keyfactor.
