"Easy to use and well integrated with rest of AWS services"
What do you like best about AWS Key Management Service (KMS)?

Was very easy to create a key to be able to encrypt/decrypt an rds database. The granularity of security is also good to decide who has access to the key. The built-in key rotation is also a nice feature.

What do you dislike about AWS Key Management Service (KMS)?

Nothing at the moment. It was very easy to setup for my needs and did not have any problems yet.

What problems is AWS Key Management Service (KMS) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Centralizing keys in AWS. Do not have to use external systems to maintaining this portion and the integration is great.

"100% Uptime gives you peace of mind"
What do you like best about AWS Key Management Service (KMS)?

The service uptime gives you peace of mind and that is very important for such a critical service like key management. If your whole infrastructure is based in AWS, then KMS is a no brainer but keep in mind that this service will tie you up to it forever.

What do you dislike about AWS Key Management Service (KMS)?

The somewhat cumbersome API when you don't use the java SDK. I mean, I have used the node.js SDK and it works fine but the API is not very "idiomatic" and looks like a JAVA SDK.

What problems is AWS Key Management Service (KMS) solving and how is that benefiting you?

KMS will solve the generation and storage of keys for you, also will solve you any encryption need as long as you don't need to do a ton of encrypt/decrypt operations.

"Pretty and Easy to Use"
What do you like best about AWS Key Management Service (KMS)?

We have a policy where Bring Your Own Key is required for confidential data in the cloud and AWS has streamlined the process for us.

What do you dislike about AWS Key Management Service (KMS)?

When we import an encryption key for usage in another account that other account is not able to reference our key by key alias natively. It should be easy enough for AWS to add the ability to reference an encryption key by key alias across accounts.

Recommendations to others considering AWS Key Management Service (KMS):

The cloud space is constantly growing and we have found that the documentation does not always keep up with how quickly everything else progresses. If you see AWS documentation stating something is not possible, please make sure you submit a ticket to AWS first as we have found that a feature may be available, but they did not have time to update the support materials.

What problems is AWS Key Management Service (KMS) solving and how is that benefiting you?

This give us the ability to migrate data and applications to the cloud, but still protect that data with a key that we own and manage.

"KMS Review"
What do you like best about AWS Key Management Service (KMS)?

I love how easy it is to work with encryption keys. I love that metadata is saved with the key so there is not much information that is required to perform a decryption operation

What do you dislike about AWS Key Management Service (KMS)?

I don't like that root is preprovisioned in the kms key policy. I understand why but I feel like enabling iam access is something that should be done explicitly by the admin and not a default.
