Akeyless secures AI, machine, and human identities with a unified platform that eliminates long-lived secrets, enforces least-privilege access, and delivers ephemeral, policy-based credentials.
4.6
Overview
Akeyless Identity Security Platform secures AI agents, machines, and human identities across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. It provides a unified control plane for access, credentials, and identity lifecycle, eliminating reliance on long-lived secrets while enforcing least-privilege access and real-time governance.
The platform combines:
-Secrets management to centrally manage and rotate credentials
-Multi-Vault Governance to unify visibility and control across AWS and third-party vaults
-Privileged access management with just-in-time, least-privilege access
-Certificate lifecycle management to automate issuance, renewal, and rotation
-Enterprise password manager to securely manage workforce credentials
-AI agent identity security to secure autonomous agents with ephemeral, scoped access
All capabilities operate through a single policy and audit framework, helping eliminate credential sprawl while maintaining consistent governance across environments.
Akeyless secures AI agents without embedding credentials in code, prompts, or workflows. Instead of static API keys or tokens, agents receive ephemeral, policy-bound access only when needed. The platform enforces intent-aware control by evaluating requested actions before access is granted, issuing task-scoped, short-lived credentials, and continuously inspecting execution. This ensures every interaction is governed, auditable, and traceable from prompt to outcome.
The Akeyless platform is FIPS 140-3 validated and powered by patented Distributed Fragments Cryptography (DFC) and a zero-knowledge architecture, ensuring encryption keys and secrets are never fully assembled or accessible, even to Akeyless.
Akeyless is built on AWS and integrates natively with core services. It can be deployed alongside AWS Secrets Manager, extend Amazon EKS security with Kubernetes secrets injection, and support AWS Key Management Service (KMS) for cryptographic operations and key storage. Audit logs can be centralized in Amazon S3 for visibility and compliance. Enterprise customers can contact cloudalliance@akeyless.io to request a Private Offer through AWS Marketplace.
Highlights
- Cost efficient platform that does not need dedicated engineering resources to start, scale and operate
- Enterprise Scale platform that is fast and easy to deploy and maintain
- 24x7 support that meets and exceeds expectations, including dedicated customer success managers and account managers.

Centralized secret management has improved multi-cloud security and automated key rotation
Reviewed on May 15, 2026
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
The main use case is to manage our secrets, to secure machine credentials, API keys, certificates or tokens, and SSH credentials and encryption keys. All of these are secured in hybrid and multi-cloud environments through this tool.
Generally, I fit Akeyless Secrets Management into CI/CD pipelines. I have a lot of CI/CD pipelines and many cloud environments in AWS , Azure , and GCP . I manage all API keys and encryption keys through Akeyless Secrets Management . Akeyless Secrets Management offers multiple features including automated key rotation. There is a feature called Distributed Fragment Cryptography, which is a patented Zero-Knowledge encryption architecture provided by Akeyless Secrets Management. This is the main use case of Akeyless Secrets Management.
What is most valuable?
One thing I want to say about Akeyless Secrets Management is that many other secret management providers are available, but Akeyless Secrets Management helps us because it has a feature called automated secret rotation. This automated secret rotation automatically triggers a workflow to our hybrid cloud or cloud provider to rotate the secrets on a long-term basis, such as every three months or six months. This ensures the security of our organization better. This is a security best practice generally used in many organizations, but they implement it through their own scripts and CI/CD scripts. Now, with Akeyless Secrets Management, I do not have to do that. Akeyless Secrets Management provides this by default. It has helped us a lot because it reduces overhead for our organization.
The features mainly include that Akeyless Secrets Management supports multi-cloud and hybrid environments. It has a Universal Secrets Connector and can connect with other secret managers. It offers good compliance, automated secret rotation, temporary credentials, and dynamic secrets options. The main standout feature is the Zero-Knowledge architecture.
Automated secret rotation stands out most for me. This significantly lowers my manual effort. Without manual intervention, it is automated. Without manual overhead, it solves many issues.
What needs improvement?
I sometimes feel that there are documentation gaps in Akeyless Secrets Management. The documentation could be more detailed for advanced integrations and troubleshooting.
Some organizations feel that there is a trust concern because the secrets are stored in Akeyless Secrets Management and it is not open-sourced. It is completely closed-source. If something goes wrong or someone hacks Akeyless Secrets Management, there is a huge drawback. These are concerns my organization and many other organizations are facing.
The UI/UX could be better on the homepage and many other pages. Pricing transparency should also be improved. The pricing should include discounted pricing for regular customers or regular enterprise customers.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Akeyless Secrets Management for around one year.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Akeyless Secrets Management's scalability is very good. As of now, I have not experienced any issues.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support is good, but it is somewhat slower compared to other support systems. It could be faster.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before Akeyless Secrets Management, I used many other secret managers including in-built secret managers in AWS , AWS Vault, and HashiCorp Vault . Before that, I had to do it manually. With Akeyless Secrets Management, I was able to rotate it very quickly. The efficiency I can report is that around 40% to 50% of the efforts are not wasted in secret management.
Previously, I was using HashiCorp Vault and AWS Secret Manager. There were many issues with HashiCorp Vault and AWS Secret Manager, such as the lack of automated secret rotation and many compliance threats attached to those platforms. This is why I switched to Akeyless Secrets Management.
What was our ROI?
The metric is based on two or three factors including the time saved and the number of manual tasks reduced, as well as the before and after time. Based on those metrics, my organization's efficiency improvement is 40%.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
HashiCorp Vault and AWS Secret Manager were the options I evaluated, but I did not get the results I was looking for. They do not have automated secret rotation, and they do not have a Zero-Knowledge architecture or this cryptographic design. Akeyless Secrets Management stands out because it combines SaaS simplicity with a Zero-Knowledge cryptographic design, reducing operational overhead without fully sacrificing control.
What other advice do I have?
The advice I will give to anyone looking into using Akeyless Secrets Management is to first evaluate what tool you need according to your organization's needs. Understand your organization's need and determine why you need this tool and whether it is necessary. Ask these questions and then choose any tool, not only this tool, but these questions need to be asked beforehand. Once you ask yourself those questions, then you will be confident that you need to use this tool. Always evaluate alternative options as well.
Use Akeyless Secrets Management as a temporary tool, not a permanent tool. Store a backup of your secrets somewhere. You should not completely rely on Akeyless Secrets Management because if Akeyless Secrets Management fails, everything fails due to a single point of failure. If you have a good backup, you will always be better positioned. These are the suggestions I would give. I gave this product a rating of 8.5 out of 10.

Effortless Setup, Needs Enhanced Features
Reviewed on Mar 26, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the Akeyless Identity Security Platform has an easy-to-understand architecture and the initial setup is easy. There's no overhead of maintaining local infrastructure, and it saves time and money by allowing us to bring Akeyless onboard and retire our previous PAM tool. The free training, documentation, and guidance from the Akeyless team made it convenient to deal with initial challenges.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are many such things, a few of them are - no desktop client for Windows still available, the plugin and the web interface have some issues, and some features are still not available as requested or as per industry standard. We put suppose cases and feature requests and it would be great if those cases were taken care of quickly. Some may take time, which we understand, but no SLA it seems. It would be better to deliver a request within a month or at least within a quarter.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Akeyless Identity Security Platform to store and rotate secrets, which saves us time and money. It simplifies periodic rotation of service account secrets, helping us consolidate tools by offering an easier setup without infrastructure maintenance overhead.
