Infisical is an open-source secret management platform that provides a comprehensive set of tools for managing secrets securely and efficiently across infrastructure, certificate lifecycle management, and integrations with development, CI/CD, and production environments. It has over 12,700 GitHub stars and is widely adopted by Fortune 500 enterprises, startups, and international governments. Infisical offers advanced features such as dynamic secret management, secret scanning, and secret sharing, making it a popular alternative to Akeyless. HashiCorp Vault is another solution that provides advanced functionality for managing application identities and secure access to cloud resources, but has a larger developer community and more extensive documentation compared to Akeyless. AWS Secrets Manager is a native secrets management solution provided by AWS, offering ease of starting out and integrations with AWS services, but is technically less advanced than Infisical and Akeyless. Building an in-house secret management tool can offer customization and control, but comes with significant resource-intensive development, ongoing maintenance, and support challenges.
