Hashicorp Vault vs Azure Key Vault


I am trying to put together analysis/metrics around secret management tools available in cloud application development theatre. I have seen CyberArk vs Azure Key vault . Upon doing a general search I could not find comparison between Hashicorp's vault and Azure Key Vault product. Has anybody done this exercise before? If yes, can you please share your observations here?
