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.

Improved user experience with seamless integration and easy installation
The feature that I mostly valued is the ease of installation on different systems, especially on Windows. Additionally, it is very beneficial for deploying single sign-on sessions between different windows on a web browser, provided I am connected to the right identity provider. That seamless integration significantly improves user experience and efficiency.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I use Keeper every day, all day long for personal and business use to store and remember more than 100 passwords for the various websites I work on and manage."
"Customer Service: Excellent, had an issue early on with access permissions and they fixed it quick like champs."
"I have cognitive issues and Keeper is a real lifesaver time and time again."
"I like Keeper's mobility and its accessibility."
"Auto login across platforms allows for no copying and pasting."
"The chat support is quick. I have never encountered any problems. On the contrary, they have been very helpful and kind."
"With Keeper, I can access the information across just about any platform which really makes the product invaluable."
"Keeper Bridge."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility of this product to integrate with any third-party components and platforms."
"SSO has impacted security on the whole and has provided a very good user experience."
"The product greatly facilitates a centralized identity and access management system."
"For the most part, SSO is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is that it meets the requirements of the customer. You have a lot of features in the product. Every product has them, but the question is, are these products going to meet the requirement of the customer?"
"Federation is valuable, for sure, because we have a lot of third-party vendors that we need to integrate with, and this is a turnkey solution in some ways."
"The solution has features that allow you to easily distinguish between protected and unprotected resources."
"It helps protect our applications and provides identity management."
 

Cons

"Possible offline access to passwords. Therefore, when internet access is unavailable, I can still access my vault."
"Needs to improve KeeperFill on iOS."
"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."
"I think Keeper Enterprise Password Manager could be improved in SSO management, which is a little iffy at times."
"The password rotation feature could be improved."
"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."
"Needs to provide an API to be integrated with the information systems and offer secure file hosting service with sharing and editing capabilities."
"Room for improvement in my eyes would be being able to share my credit cards and other types of information. The only thing they really share is passwords, and you can only do it with one password at a time. When you're trying to share it out or trying to remove it from being shared, you can't do multiple selections."
"As we are moving in to the mobility space, this is where we really see SiteMinder and their other product really come together to provide a solution base to a different area where the IoT is coming, the different business communications are happening. All of those things require authentication and we really want to see this product grow into that role."
"With the other ones, we’ve had problems, and they don’t really match our business needs."
"I would like to see a move towards the newer technologies, which is what we are doing right now. I think that's in the roadmap that's coming, in the 12.8 and 14 releases, but we would like to have it sooner than later."
"If the reporting feature can be integrated into SSO itself that will be an icing on the cake."
"The problem is we need the support, but they don't know anything about the product."
"We go by agents for authentication; anything relating to agent configuration could be improved, or even agentless security."
"They get us answers, but often they’re too slow."
"The tech support has not been very good for us so we don't use them anymore. We have had some issues. Nobody is perfect."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"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."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
"Its price is reasonable."
"The solution's pricing is competitive."
"The price is quite comparable to the other enterprise-level solutions in that market."
"I recommend conducting a PoC on every available product before choose one."
"CA solutions are generally expensive but for the customer the ROI is big."
"Siteminder is a little costly. You pay for licensing, and they offer packages, so if you have less users, then you have to buy different products at different prices. If you have more of a user base, then the package is different. They also include other features—for example, if you have a database and you're using Siteminder, then it's good to use a Semantic-specific database, but if you are using less, then you have to purchase the database separately. Whereas if you are going for a bigger license, then it comes within the package. It depends on which plan you are using."
"Symantec Siteminder is expensive; they could definitely do better on the price."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The licensing is fair for this solution."
