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.

Our our official repository and it has disposal management and retention management

The security architecture is the only problem as it's a little bit complex and too torturous at times. So it could be improved a little bit, but it is regarded as a very good system in Australia. It's probably overly subscribed. Also, what's missing is what people would like, which is basically online collaboration. That's a problem. But it has so many other things to offer that SharePoint, I'm sure, will not have. So, that will be an interesting issue to come up. It's not very good at providing stable and robust add-ins to Microsoft. That's a bit of a problem with Content Manager. They're kind of very volatile. So, that's been definitely something that could be improved.

Pros

"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."

"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."

"Passportal also helps manage assets. You can add information about your infrastructure, like routers, including model numbers, operating systems, expiration dates, and licensing."

"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."

"For a records management system, Content Manager is a really good system."

"We like how the solution allows us to have retention of records and workflows, as well as its fire plan."

"It has a robust search but has often been difficult for people to learn."

"The tool's implementation has made life easier for customers. It is sold by SAP. The integration between SAP and the solution is good, making it easy to access the documents. It is widely recognized as a market leader in enterprise document management."

"An advantage is integration with your IP directory."

"The most valuable features of OpenText Content Manager are its stability, reliability, security, and workflow engine."

"The product can be integrated with different solutions."

"I did not face issues with the product's scalability...The solution's technical support is good."

Cons

"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'd like to see the ability to provide both credential management and documentation management for clients. Currently, they only get access to credential management."

"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."

"I do not see any return on investment in terms of savings, time saving, or money saving, especially since this economy is struggling."

"OpenText Content Manager needs to improve its user interface. Its installation process is difficult and can be made easier."

"Due to very limited use in the industry, vendor and contract support are hard to find."

"Support could be enhanced. The first line of support consists of individuals who lack experience with some key aspects. When you create a support ticket, the time to resolve the issue may be prolonged because the first person may not understand the system or the solution."

"It's not very good at providing stable and robust add-ins to Microsoft."

"Pricing is an issue, as it is too expensive."

"The ease of use should be addressed."

"The stability of the solution is an area of concern where improvements can be made."

"The product could improve its scalability."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of N-able Passportal is approximately $15 for the license."

"For its value, Passportal's price is affordable."

"The fees incurred are for the licensing and maintenance."

"The solution's licensing cost depends on the customer domain. Though its costs are high, the product is worth the money. You have to pay a one-time cost and support costs."

"I would suggest that you do a thorough evaluation of all competing products and look for support for these products in your local area."

"I rate the product price an eight or nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. The solution is expensive."
