### "AWS Secrets Manager" — 5.0/5

> **Anmol** | *2 March 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The thing for which I start using the secret manager is the encryption of data we stored in it.I used to store my different account credentials and the report of security audits or vulnerability reports
> 
> **Cons**: AWS must focus to increase the encryption from 256 to a further level and decrease its pricing of it.

> **Pros**: Data stored in encrypted format and without proper privilege no0 one can decode it, even root users can't. Safe vault to store secrets and easy to retrieve values using SDK's and auth keys.
> 
> **Cons**: Everything looks great. May be in future AWS will enhance the secret manager to store docs and other data key value pairs.
