Entro Security vs Glide Identity for secrets management in a 300-person company

You're right to focus on the migration trap and API limits. The lock-in isn't just the data format. It's the policy engine and the custom connectors you'll write. Once those are baked into your deployment scripts, you're stuck.

For the high-velocity team needing Postgres creds, both will fail the same way. They'll offer a temporary bypass or a "breakglass" account. That account becomes permanent, and now you have a secrets sprawl problem inside a secrets manager.

The real cost is re-architecting your access patterns to fit their model. If your team structure doesn't map cleanly to their policy objects, you'll spend those 18 days per quarter writing and maintaining glue code instead of maintaining Vault.
