Our take
What our shortlists say about each one.
- Cryptomathic Crypto Key Management System (CKMS)
Best for: Banks and payment companies with many HSM vendors
It earns its place because it sets key policy for every application in one place across many HSM vendors, which suits banks and payment companies. Central control of algorithms also helps when you move to post-quantum cryptography. If you do not run several HSM vendors or payment systems, a broader key manager may fit you better.

- Penta Security D.AMO Key Management System (KMS)
Best for: Companies encrypting many different databases
It is on the list because it is built around database encryption, with dual access control that keeps security admins and database admins apart. It fits mid-sized and large companies that run many different databases on premises. It is an on-premises appliance, so ask how it reaches cloud workloads if part of your data has moved.
