Other Vaults

Deployment

Akeyless Vault Platform

  • Our SaaS-based Secrets and Access Management platform allows organizations to start managing and securing credentials, certificates, and keys across hybrid multicloud workloads, upon first login.

  • The Akeyless Gateway provides an extra level of protection between private networks and the cloud. Our lightweight Docker container deploys with a few clicks and enables service continuity during network outages.

  • Includes out-of-the-box backup & recovery, replication, 99.99% availability, and multi-tenancy. 

Other Vaults

  • Cloud Service Providers offer proprietary secret management tools with limited to no functionality support for on-premise or multicloud environments

  • On-premise vaults are costly, require self-deployment, and have a cumbersome on-boarding experience for multi-cluster and multi-regional deployments.

Maintenance

Akeyless Vault Platform

  • The solution automatically scales for demand peaks across multiple regions and cloud platforms.

  • Automatically updates to provide the latest platform features and security updates. 

Other Vaults

  • Both legacy on-premise and PaaS-based vaults require continuous operational overhead to either self-maintain the underlying infrastructure (on-premise) or oversee software updates, backups and plan for scaling (PaaS). 

Functionality

Akeyless Vault Platform

  • A unified platform with wide capabilities spanning secrets management and secure remote access, for both human and workload access scenarios.

  • Supports static secrets, dynamic secrets and provides automatic rotation of credentials for privileged accounts.

  • Eliminates the Secret Zero problem for legacy on-premise workloads. Akeyless Universal Identity provides a machine identity to secure the initial vault connection.

Other Vaults

  • Most open source and commercial tools only support static secrets storage and retrieval.

  • Other vaults lack privileged access management and secure remote access functionality. Therefore, they require the deployment of additional tools to compensate.

Ease of Use

Akeyless Vault Platform

  • Provides an enterprise-grade user interface to empower both new and power users with simplified workflows and centralized reporting across hybrid environments–all accessible from any location.

Other Vaults

  • Other vaults only focus on power users and CLI functionality, and lack an intuitive graphic interface for all enterprise users.

Security

Akeyless Vault Platform

  • Built on Akeyless DFC, our patented, next-generation Zero Knowledge technology, which ensures customers have exclusive ownership of their master keys. Not even Akeyless can access and decrypt your keys.

Other Vaults

  • Cloud Service Provider’s vaults require organizations to share their master keys, which may allow rogue admins or government entities to access your data under the CLOUD act.

TCO

Akeyless Vault Platform

  • Mitigates costly infrastructure investments with simple, pay-as-you-go pricing. 

  • Reduces operational cost: as a SaaS solution, there is no infrastructure or software to procure, deploy and maintain.

Other Vaults

  • Requires expensive computing resources, engineering, deployment, and ongoing maintenance effort and costs.

Migrating To Akeyless Is Easy
