Have addressed compliance challenges but still struggle with seamless integration of certificate issuance between environments
In terms of Azure Key Vault improvements, we have to compare the competitor. If we consider AWS, our bank has Microsoft PKI, which is a Microsoft product, for the entire digital certificate infrastructure. Even in the cloud, when it is AWS, the internal certificates are MS PKI. When we had a problem, users had to come to on-premise to get a certificate and import it to AWS Certificate Manager and assign it. We wondered why we could not issue the certificate directly from the cloud for cloud users. There was a simple way in AWS. They have a Private Certificate Authority (PCA) and Amazon Certificate Manager. Private Certificate Authority issues certificates to Amazon services. They also provide Amazon Certificate Manager to store and deploy certificates. These are two neat components - one is an issuer and another is storage and deployment solutions for certificates. With PCA, I can directly enable it and get certificates from AWS itself. AWS can issue SSL/TLS certificates if you enable it directly. If you consider Azure, it is not very clear. Even the naming convention, Key Vault, might not suggest that this is a PKI or certificate manager. You cannot issue certificates directly. They have app certificates and did not have a clear-cut certificate management solution in the cloud when I worked at that time. I am not sure whether they have updated Azure Key Vault as a full-fledged PKI solution now. From what I saw, it was not a full-fledged PKI solution. We are not majorly using Azure Key Vault because it is only for storing secrets. If some solutions can provide guidance on how we can maximize leverage, we can immediately look forward to doing that. We already have some business problems we want to solve. While our primary focus is AWS, many of the services such as ADO are running on Azure, and the secondary services are growing bigger.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It helps me increase my security posture and assists with regulatory and compliance requirements."
"Azure Key Vault's performance is excellent. It makes infrastructure management easier."
"Azure Key Vault is very affordable, with charges of less than a dollar for over ten thousand keys."
"With Azure Key Vault, we can generate our own keys and then import them inside the system, which provides a higher level of security than provider-managed keys."
"The tool is highly secure and very easy to manage."
"The solution uses the encryption technique to store the secret information data that uses EPCE. There is also one feature that monitors Azure Key Vault."
"Among the features that have helped improve our security posture are storing secrets in a secure location to create a trusted situation, trusted resources, and incorporating identity access management so that we know who has access to what."
"The product’s advantageous feature is integration."
"It’s an excellent solution, with great security."
"Easy to enter and track licensing, a history of successful and failed attempts, easy for the users, and low cost."
"Customer Service: Very good. Technical Support: Excellent."
 

Cons

"Azure has great documentation, but I would like to see more use cases pertaining to specific industries. For example, case studies on how to use HIPAA compliant solutions in the healthcare industry or how to use PCI compliant data analytics solutions in the financial technology industry would be helpful."
"They should add a key vault feature for the databases temporarily integrated into hybrid clouds."
"I would rate the stability of Microsoft Azure Key Vault an eight out of ten. We use the solution in the data science field. If there is some outage, we did not notice any prolonged outage which would affect our business significantly while working with it."
"The solution could be improved by making it accessible to more people."
"Many times, the first round of support itself will fail, and they will bring some more competent people in the subsequent support. So it gets into a hierarchical mode. By then, we will lose a good amount of time. The technical support needs improvement."
"From what I saw, it was not a full-fledged PKI solution."
"I would like more code examples."
"Azure needs to provide versions of Key Vault that are suitable for different sizes of companies."
"They could include a deployment mechanism."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten."
"Pricing is quite reasonable and support is included, although premium support is available for an additional fee."
"The product is neither cheap nor expensive."
"Currently, the tool's monthly licensing costs are around 1,800 USD for all the environments combined, including the production and pre-production environments."
"It is less expensive compared to other competitors."
"Azure is cheaper than CyberArk... CyberArk is good, but it's quite expensive."
"The product costs much less compared to other vendors."
"I find the pricing of Azure Key Vault to be reasonable."
