How does this compare with secret managers like HashiCorp vault, Azure Key Vault, AWS Secrets manager, etc.? Are some of those needed to use this? Or can those be replaced with Infisical?

The main goal is to provide similar levels of security at a significantly reduced learning curve. These services can all be replaced with Infisical.

When we spoke with engineers that work in companies of all sizes - most of them have mentioned how complicated Hashicorp Vault is. And indeed, while Vault has a lot of features, it is pretty overwhelming to setup and maintain.

With Infisical, we want to take a modern approach to secret management by simplifying the whole process of configuring secrets to injecting them into your stack with little friction as possible. We invested a lot in the UI/UX in order to make everything more intuitive for developers when compared to Hashicorp Vault or any other alternative.

Also, Infisical is meant to be multi-cloud unlike the cloud-specific secret managers/vaults. Give it a go and let me know what you think

I generally like Vault, but on top of being a bit overwhelming to set up, it's also quite expensive to run in a HA setup.

That is true - that's also one of the reason why we made our pricing for Infisical Cloud per person/month.
