Performance of Akeyless Identity Security Platform Across Market Features

Akeyless Identity Security Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

It's Encryption technology is out of box storing the encrypted key fragments in customer environment where even Akeyless can't decrypt the secrets unless the customer fragment is there.

Like

Highly impressed with Akeyless's strong security features and seamless integration capabilities. Its top tear solution.

Like

The ability to manage secrets without migrating them to new system

Dislike

Everytime we tried integrating it into new app or environment, we had to reachout to support to get their help as can't easily interpret how to setup things. Along with that, multiple times there were bugs identified while rolling this out to our apps and with help of support those bugs were fixed. There is not a easy way to authenticate with tool during runtime have to hardcode the access key and secret key to authenticate. JWT is helpful in only certain scenerios. the IP restriction sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.

Dislike

UI Could be more intuitive. The biggest challenge is alert fatigue from the out of the box policies.

Dislike

minor application UI - invisible scroll bars - grayed colour options like edit, confirm - visual colours for edit option
