Find the perfect fit
Use Archways to compare Pulumi ESC with alternatives and find the best software for your needs.
Pulumi ESC is a centralized secrets management & orchestration service. You can easily access, share, and manage secrets securely on any cloud, using your favorite programming languages.
Pulumi ESC is a strong fit for engineering teams already invested in infrastructure as code and looking for a developer-friendly, code-centric approach to secrets management. Its standout feature is seamless integration with Pulumi’s IaC workflows, allowing secrets to be managed as code in familiar programming languages, which is a big win for developer productivity and automation. However, it’s less suited for organizations seeking a simple, out-of-the-box secrets vault or those with non-technical users, as it assumes a certain level of DevOps maturity and coding fluency. Pricing is competitive for teams already using Pulumi, but may be harder to justify as a standalone secrets manager for smaller orgs or those not leveraging Pulumi’s broader platform.
