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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has helped them to improve and control web and mobile application security."
"The Verify feature: A push method which customers are going for."
"It is a very stable and good product."
"Centralized policy management and reverse proxy-based architecture make it very flexible in terms of deployment, adoption, and implementation."
"The WebSEAL reverse proxy is great for protecting your critical systems."
"It is a totally secure way of accessing clients through various application portals for more than ten EU countries, just by using single sign-on."
"Single Sign-On functionality is valuable because the core purpose of the product is to allow universal (or bespoke) SSO for application suites."
"Tivoli Access Manger lets you separate security from applications and manage at one place."
"It has a secure password generator that incorporates random creation tools and good security practices, which allows for an easy, quick, organized update and sharing with a work team."
"Auto login across platforms allows for no copying and pasting."
"It is simply very efficient and easy to use."
"Time savings is enormous because all of our passwords are with us wherever we are."
"Keeper Bridge."
"Possibility to login using the fingerprint sensor on Android/iPhone."
"Support is very quick to respond, and they have fixed any issues that I have had."
"It is nice to be able to use my Touch ID and have access to all my passwords in one place."
 

Cons

"The pricing is always costly."
"This product is also available in the appliance offering which has not yet matured and has many issues."
"The initial set-up is a bit complex for a novice as the Linux version of it needs you to be somewhat good with Linux."
"You must be skilled to use Tivoli Access Manager."
"The profiling element is incredibly robust, but also equally as complex, it requires an off-site course to be able to understand the context or the plethora of options available."
"There were endless issues with stability in version 8.0.1."
"There is only a single step-up authentication path, but I have sometimes seen the need for several steps or a divergent path."
"Administration of the product can be improved a lot."
"Maybe a sort of category organizer to help with organizing passwords for different things, such as banking, medical, shopping, and school."
"There were some political issues between account managers over there."
"Search functions are sometimes weird."
"It would be nice to see this great tool integrate with other tools out there."
"I would add a category for personal documents or photos of ID cards."
"Possible offline access to passwords. Therefore, when internet access is unavailable, I can still access my vault."
"If you purchase the premium, then after the subscription expires, you cannot edit your passwords any longer, even if you could before you purchased the paid subscription."
"The technical support has no experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The IBM prices are, as ever, extortionate, even with a business partnership, and high levels of discounts."
"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
"ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"Its price is reasonable."
