Password manager has strengthened daily device security and has simplified secure sharing
While Keeper Enterprise Password Manager has a good interface for password management, I believe they can make the feature for Privileged Access Management a bit more user-friendly, as right now it is somewhat complicated to get a privileged access manager running in both development and production environments. Regarding improvements needed for the deployment of Keeper Enterprise Password Manager, I would like to see a simple way to install requirements on servers so they can easily be accessed through it and use Privileged Access Management. Right now the installation is somewhat complex as there is scripting to be done. It would be great for that setup to be more simple for operators.

Cons

"Older TAM versions are not compatible for connecting to a DB."
"Multi-factor authentication with social integration needs to improve."
"The self-service portal needs improvement."
"Initial setup was complicated because TAM was implemented as a part of the IDM solution."
"It was complex for us as we have multiple domains."
"Sometimes, there are long running support tickets (for 6-8 months) and that is unacceptable from the customer's point of view."
"I would rate the technical support a 6/10."
"There is only a single step-up authentication path, but I have sometimes seen the need for several steps or a divergent path."
"I think Keeper Enterprise Password Manager can be improved by ensuring that you do not have to sign in every day to the vault."
"API possible needs improvement. Although, this feature is for enterprises which need more then the usual usage."
"Ability to store 'files' from IOS & Android devices. You can store pics from these devices currently. Most file formats can be uploaded from PC's/Macs"
"Needs to improve KeeperFill on iOS."
"Ability to set up password profiles that can predefine custom fields and password complexity."
"I would like the ability to change the theme colors to anything I choose and not be limited to preset themes."
"In my opinion, Keeper Enterprise Password Manager could be improved by allowing the creation of templates, basically role templates, that we could deploy to other clients without having to go through the Commander CLI, but rather through the graphical interface."
"Search functions are sometimes weird."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The IBM prices are, as ever, extortionate, even with a business partnership, and high levels of discounts."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"Its price is reasonable."
"Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
"ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
