Straightforward to set up, good support, intuitive to use, and offers good value for the cost
The most valuable feature is being able to use a single master password to access all of your other passwords. One feature that is really important to us is the ability to create secure notes. In our scenario, these are notes such as how to get some of our devices on the network. They are processes and procedures that we don't want anybody else to see, especially within the IT department. It's a small department and we have very many processes that we use, but not on a daily basis, so we aren't going to remember them. By using LastPass and secure notes, we can go back to those notes in a secure fashion and remind ourselves how to do certain things. For instance, how to create a test database for accounting, which is something that we do once a year. We don't want that to be out in a non-secure fashion, where somebody in the public can see it.

Straightforward software saves time with its simplicity and useful password management features
Secure password storage is the primary function of N-able Passportal that works well, and all the other features are add-ons. The best advantages of N-able Passportal are that the software is straightforward and easy to use. The ease of use is a significant benefit for N-able Passportal. If you need a degree to figure out how to do three small functions in your software package, it is not worth it because you will have to spend time figuring out what goes wrong. With how N-able Passportal software works, there is a perception of simplicity and straightforwardness. You do not have to sit and figure out what is happening. This is important because it saves time. You can always get more money and clients, but you can never get more time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product helps keep us secure."
"Off-boarding of people is easy without changing shared account passwords."
"One feature that is really important to us is the ability to create secure notes."
"Tech support has been good. We haven't needed it much, because it is not a complex application. There is not that much you have to do with it."
"It's always hard to put a value on return on investment. You avoid one breach and it's paid for a million times over. We got a penetration test company internally, just to see how secure our network is, and there happened to be one bit of software that had been overlooked by an external company that managed it. It hadn't been upgraded so that managed to get them into the network. They would've been able to access through the test thing a file that we had previously. If that was a real-life scenario they would have been able to get into our network and get full access to our organization's passwords. If they did get in, they would have gotten access to the cloud. The ROI we see is that we are completely secured compared to what we had previously where there was a vulnerability."
"Increased security around password management for teams and collaborative efforts with external vendors."
"The most valuable feature for me is being able to pair applications and user permissions."
"Until now, I haven't found anything like the dashboard. It gives you a security score. I find that to be really great. The Sharing Center is really great as well. And the Security Challenge is really great too."
"The most valuable feature of the N-able Passportal is its functionality. You can store your passwords safely, and not just anyone can gain access to them. If you have an onsite system, it can change the password for you on a daily basis. This is a great benefit because you don't have to worry about if the account's breached tomorrow, your pass is going to be changed. It's perfect."
"The most valuable features of the N-able Passportal are the password rotations, and the ability to be able to store passwords. You can have it on your phone or your desktop. You're not required to have it only on your desktop computer."
"The ease of use is a significant benefit for N-able Passportal; if you need a degree to figure out how to do three small functions in your software package, it is not worth it because you will have to spend time figuring out what goes wrong."
"Passportal also helps manage assets. You can add information about your infrastructure, like routers, including model numbers, operating systems, expiration dates, and licensing."
 

Cons

"One thing I wish LastPass had is an integration with Active Directory, not for synchronizing users but to actually manage, in some way, privileged accounts by replacing the password of LastPass itself."
"Our biggest issue over the years was around the stability of the LDAP sync to AD."
"We have issues from time to time where, for some reason, it just keeps auto logging-out the user and then, the next day, they'll come in and it will work just fine."
"Right now we have two products; there is the password manager and there is the authenticator app. Ideally, these should be fully integrated and support better handling of two-factor authentication or any other authenticator data."
"I also don't like the add-in for Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, because when you do the add-in, you can actually save that to your credentials in your IE, and the problem is, if I left my screen open, or any of the IT people leave their screen open someone could come up and access all their credentials in LastPass without having to put a password in within your own network. I don't like that functionality. We've banned that from any of our staff adding that as an add-in because we see that as a security risk."
"The ability to set up an account expiration limit/date would be very useful."
"The biggest thing is there is no good way to have LastPass rotate passwords without human intervention. Right now, we have to go into each folder, then rotate and manually update each password. It can be done it by loading a bunch of passwords into a spreadsheet, but this makes the whole process insecure because then the passwords have been noted into a spreadsheet which have to be upload. We have to go into 40 to 50 applications and manually update passwords, because we don't view their solution of writing a bunch of passwords on a spreadsheet, then uploading them as a secure solution. This should be done internally within LastPass."
"I would like to be able to reduce the log out time of the session."
"I'd like to see the ability to provide both credential management and documentation management for clients. Currently, they only get access to credential management."
"Sometimes accessing the solution is a bit slow, but that could be due to conditions at many different points. However, some issues that do arise are outside of our control."
"I do not see any return on investment in terms of savings, time saving, or money saving, especially since this economy is struggling."
"N-able Passportal can improve the stability because sometimes I can't log in. I had some issues a couple of months ago where I couldn't log in and that was problematic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It would be nice to do a quarterly true-up process with them versus having to buy 50 licenses at a time when we realize we're out, then we have to buy more. So far, they have been nice about letting us exceed our allotment and just letting us true-up on our own, but a more robust quarterly true-up process would be good."
"The subscription model is rated at a fair price."
"The pricing and licensing are okay. Basically, at the last contract negotiation, they attempted to jack the rate up and we just said, "No." We still did negotiations with them, but they bumped everything up quite a bit."
"If you import from sources like XML, keepass, CSV files be sure to clean the import files, this reduces the adjustments in the slow tool itself."
"In terms of pricing, my feeling is that they are all roughly the same. LastPass is in line with its competitors, plus or minute a dollar or two per month."
"You do not have to purchase licenses for your entire organization. You can scale as adoption grows."
"I was not terribly alarmed with the pricing, and am pleased with the fact that a home license is included with each business license."
"I have been involved with many password managers. Passportal, Secret Server, CyberArk, and BeyondTrust. I chose LastPass for our organization because of the pricing. The organization didn't want to implement something really expensive. LastPass, for what it's offering, for the price that it's offering the service, is unbeatable."
"The price of N-able Passportal is approximately $15 for the license."
"For its value, Passportal's price is affordable."
