It's an inexpensive, scalable solution that has improved our security
We use Keeper to store passwords We previously kept our passwords in an Excel file. Using Keeper makes us more secure.  Keeper has strong security features.  The password rotation feature could be improved. I have used Keeper for three years. I rate Keeper eight out of 10 for stability.  I…

Single interface and workflows simplify AD and Azure AD management efficiency and security
I use it primarily for granting, managing, and auditing access The ways Active Roles has improved the way we operate are through workflows and user onboarding, automatic user management, group permissioning, adding users to the right groups based on the department, and distribution list creation…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Keeper Bridge."
"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."
"It is very easy to use, intuitive, and cost effective."
"A useful solution for storing encryption keys, programming and developing a SaaS platform."
"It is very easy to install and setup."
"The generator of complex passwords keeps me safe from being hacked."
"​The installation and its use are very simple​."
"I can access my passwords from any Internet connected device."
"The most valuable features include auditing, dynamic grouping, and creating dynamic groups based on AD attributes."
"It's valuable to us in that it resembles the native tools that most people have grown accustomed to... Active Roles resembles traditional tools, such as from Microsoft. That is really good because it eases the way people interact with the tool."
"Instead of deleting accounts, we like the deprovision option so that we can reverse any accidental deletions. It also gives a higher level of quality control in terms of enforcing any number of variables, such as making sure that an account has a description entered before the account can be created. We can backtrack and know the history of it that way."
"Active Roles improved the management of users, groups, and AD objects in the organization."
"The solution is stable."
"Secure access is the most valuable feature."
"In comparison to native Active Directory tools, using Active Roles for delegation is so much better. It uses an access template and that makes it easy to see who can access what. In fact, you can do that for many objects as well."
"With the use of the sync service we were able to import information from multiple external systems and populate them within our space and leverage them for downstream systems."
 

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."
"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."
"They could possibly add a pre-designed contact feature that would work similar to a cell phone contact feature."
"Rearranging folders via drag/drop functionality would be very helpful."
"Ability to set up password profiles that can predefine custom fields and password complexity."
"Needs to provide an API to be integrated with the information systems and offer secure file hosting service with sharing and editing capabilities."
"Needs to improve KeeperFill on iOS."
"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"
"Another issue we have with the product is that we run a lot of custom tasks. You have to program them to run on one particular host and there's no automatic failover to a second host. If that host is down when a task is supposed to run, it has to wait until the next time it runs when that host is up."
"The third area for improvement, which is the weakest portion of ARS, is the workflow engine, which was introduced a few years ago. It's slow and not very intuitive to use, so I would like to see improvement there."
"Most of the time it just works."
"In terms of improvement, it could be made even more user-friendly for administrators when they need to create new workflows and rule sets."
"It also has workflows and those are really powerful, but there are no built-in workflows. When it comes to them, it's empty. I would personally love for it to come with ten, 15, or 20 workflows where each achieves a certain task... I could just look at how each is done, clone them, copy them, modify them the way I want them, and be good to go. Right now we have to invent things from scratch."
"The solution needs an attestation process that includes certification and recertification attestation."
"For the AAD management feature, it needs to improve the objects that we can manage and the security."
"The initial setup was quite easy, but it was time-consuming. It took about three months."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"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."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"Its price is reasonable."
"ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
"It's fairly priced."
"It's expensive."
"The price is reasonable. It costs us about 1 million Danish kroner annually, and we also spend about half as much on consultants."
"The pricing is on the higher end."
"The licensing model is a simple user-based model, not that much complicated."
