Cloud providers

Cloud providers like AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, and Google Secrets Manager struggle to meet start-up, SMBs, and enterprise secrets management needs.

In general, cloud providers are:

• Restrictive - Secrets management cloud providers are limited to storing only code and infrastructure secrets from within their cloud ecosystem. If your team utilizes any other developer platform across their development environment, this solution would not align with your needs. 

• Expensive and unpredictable - Bitwarden offers a transparent and predictable user-based pricing structure that is easy to plan for. Usage-based pricing offered by AWS, Google, and Azure, is complicated, difficult to predict, and too expensive for small to medium-sized businesses.

• Not scalable - As your business grows, so does your development ecosystem and secrets management usage. Usage-based pricing offered by cloud providers makes it expensive to scale your secrets management with your business growth.

• Weaker security - While cloud providers typically encrypt customer data at rest and in transit, Bitwarden has a strong security posture with zero knowledge, end-to-end encryption, open source security, and annual third-party security audits protecting all secrets in your vault.

HashiCorp Vault

Bitwarden Secrets Manager and HashiCorp offerings can complement each other and many successful Bitwarden customers use both. Bitwarden may be a better choice for companies with limited IT capacity and a desire to secure the entire organization with the same software vendor. 

In general, HashiCorp comes with:

• Secondary security focus - HashiCorp primarily focuses on cloud infrastructure solutions with a secondary focus on security offerings. Bitwarden is 100% focused on security solutions for businesses and individuals.

• High IT overhead - HashiCorp requires high IT overhead to maintain availability and disaster recovery for their offering. Bitwarden is does not require additional IT support for operations. 

• No longer open source - In 2023, HashiCorp moved from an open-source (OSS) license to a “source-available” business license for their products — therefore alienating many of their long-time users and advocates. Bitwarden Secrets Manager is open-source and active in OSS communities.

• Complex - Hashicorp is a complex solution with dispersed vault/cluster architecture while Bitwarden offers an intuitive, centralized, and streamlined interface that is easier for end-users and admins to navigate.

• Future product innovation in question - With the 2024 acquisition of HashiCorp by IBM, customers are expressing concerns over how HashiCorp will be run and innovation slowdown within a large corporation. Bitwarden is an established start-up that values quick innovation.

• Slow deployment - While HashiCorp offers little documentation to get started and requires about three months on average to deploy, Bitwarden supports new users for quick deployment with comprehensive and up-to-date documentation.

• Unpredictable pricing - HashiCorp has an expensive tiered pricing based on “client” count. Bitwarden offers a transparent and predictable user-based pricing structure that is easy to plan for.
