Helps with password management and sharing

The tool's setup was easy and we have deployed it on the cloud. The deployment was quick and we completed it in less than a week. We have two teams one in the US and another in India. We first implemented Keeper in the US, got feedback, and then implemented it in India. The overall deployment took about four months to complete.

A mature, capable solution that should be available as a cloud solution

They haven't really evolved the product to the cloud, so they don't have a cloud solution. It's just deployable in the cloud, so in some cases that holds them back in a competitive situation. I don't know if they're intent on taking their solution to the cloud, but if they do, that would be one improvement. It would allow them to be competitive down market in medium to small enterprises. I don't know if they care to address that market or not because it doesn't seem like they've made that move, but that would be one way for them to do that. As for additional features, I would suggest stronger integration. I think enabling more universal industry standard integrations would probably help them with different applications.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The possibility of assigning information to different groups and individuals has been the most valuable."

"Keeper Bridge."

"It saves us from duplicating passwords for different accounts."

"Keeper has strong security features."

"The ability to autofill the login credentials has saved me a lot of time in my day to day computing."

"It is very easy to install and setup."

"Available for Windows platforms and also Mac OS and Linux systems."

"We can access our sign-ins and passwords on up to five devices per user. This means I can access a given site and my login and password for that site from my home and office computers as well as my phone and iPad."

More Keeper pros

"You can run reports and verify the access each user has. There is a process that runs automatically for access review. It sends an email to the manager and provides a task for the manager to review the users and access. The manager can approve or reject, and then it goes to the application owner for further review. This feature is especially important in large customer environments, as manual review can be challenging."

"This solution has been around for a long time. It has had lots of successful deployments and releases."

"I really like the separation of the duties. It is the most ambitious model in the server because you have to create all the different rules, especially business rules. You have to check with the client and set different policies and rules, and then, you to have refine them. You will notice what is bad in the company and where the real problem is."

"When doing a review you can either make manual or automatic fulfillment to immediately apply the manager's decision to the system, like removing or adding new permissions to the user account."

"All three functionalities, access certification, the configuration of duties, and role mining - especially role mining - are very advanced compared with the competition."

"I like the queries and find the catalog to be comparatively powerful."

"We’re very satisfied with technical support. Usually we get people with the right knowledge who understand the solution very well."

"NetIQ Identity Governance has improved the security of my company."

Cons

"I would like to see a way to store files and photos in the next update. If it already does this, I have yet to explore it."

"Keeper does not provide password management for mobile apps."

"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 for this solution could be faster support and improved if they had a better understanding of my questions."

"They could possibly add a pre-designed contact feature that would work similar to a cell phone contact feature."

"Needs to improve KeeperFill on iOS."

"Search functions are sometimes weird."

"Needs to provide an API to be integrated with the information systems and offer secure file hosting service with sharing and editing capabilities."

More Keeper cons

"They haven't really evolved the product to the cloud, so they don't have a cloud solution."

"NetIQ Identity Governance is not flexible. Sometimes, filtering information to provide users with options, such as selecting the application to which they want to request access, can be challenging. It needs to improve application integration as well."

"The product could use more advanced features related to Identity Intelligence."

"We need more connectors to cloud applications like AWS."

"The solution should provide more connectors in future releases. The solution also should offer more monitoring."

"With NetIQ, you have to install two or more products. It would be better if we could install one product and have one server and one dashboard."

"Technical support is horrible."

"The initial setup has room for improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."

"Its price is reasonable."

"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."

"Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."

"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."

"It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."

"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."

"Just buy the yearly subscription."

More Keeper pricing and cost advice

"It's expensive relative to the cloud solutions that are out there."

"I give the cost a nine out of ten."

"In terms of pricing, the tool seems a bit cheaper compared to other SaaS solutions."
