Considered Both Products

Chose Bitwarden
Bitwarden hasn't been hacked and is easy to implement. None of the others can say the same in both aspects.
Chose Bitwarden
LastPass had a huge security breach which led us to switch to Bitwarden.
Chose Bitwarden
Other solutions felt more clunky or were significantly higher priced. Bitwarden seems to straddle the consumer/prosumer/SMB fence more than adequately by designing their user experience to feel welcoming but also trustworthy and reliable. The other tools seem to assume that …

Bitwarden supports various forms of two-factor authentication, including time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), Duo, YubiKey, and other hardware-based tokens. This integration enhances the security of the Bitwarden account and allows to store and manage their 2FA credentials for other applications within Bitwarden itself.

The best uses that we have found for GateKeeper have been for medical offices. We have a customer that uses mobile workstations when doing patient workups, and this has enabled them to step away from the station, evaluate the patient, and then go back to their mobile workstation without having to log in via password since they were within a set range the PC didn't lock. If they had walked more than 5 ft from their workstation, it would lock by Gatekeeper Proximity so the private data on the PC would not be at risk.

Usability
Bitwarden is easy to use and has a very straightforward simple interface. Having coverage across multiple platforms is the key to its value to me. Additionally, Bitwarden is consistently rated by third party (PC Magazine, Wired, Tom's Guide, etc.) as one of the best password managers available.

Return on Investment
  • Saves me time by storing all of my login information. I'm no longer digging through my notes app or having to reset passwords that I've forgotten.
  • Stores vendor names, addresses, and W-9's. I don't have to text or email vendor's asking for this info every time I work with them.
  • Protects my data by identifying weak or unused passwords. Bitwarden helped me identify multiple weak and reused passwords and I quickly updated them using their built-in password generator.

  • Although the number seems small at first, minutes saved per day not having to log in / having proximity unlock add up over time. Each user's gatekeeper pays for itself over the year just by shaving a few minutes of time off logins each day.
  • Training time with end users generally takes 15 minutes or less.
