Dashlane was less intuitive and the feature to automatically fill forms with username and password wasn’t working as good as KeePass. Also managing it, creating new passwords etc. took more time.
Chose KeePass
I am privately using Bitwarden and compared to KeePass, it's a lot easier to set up in a browser, but it doesn't have a standalone application.
Chose KeePass
KeePass is free and compatible with all the devices you or your customers and it has a lot of different uses. Is not only a password manager like Norton safe password or the avast's one. Like the password managers of the browsers, no, with KeePass every customer can find a …
Chose KeePass
We didn't use other products. Before Keepass, Our Users were using the password saving in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. In our opinion, this is not really safe. There you also cant save any other applications and passwords. So people were writing down some passwords on …
Chose KeePass
We have tried Last Pass, while it's very nice to use, there are times where it was down and we couldn't access our passwords. There were troubles with the website or plug-in at times when it was updated. It wasn't as trusted due to these factors being out of our control due to …
Chose KeePass
I cannot remember how and why I selected KeePass. But I think it was the possibility to try it as a shareware product first. In the past, there were only the most important features realized in the software (and some stuff I never needed). To see how the software has been …

All mentioned passwords in the Subject are good if you have a Budget for it.
If not, KeePass is ideal as it is free and regularly updated.
End users can learn it fast with no additional resources.
Chose KeePass
KeePass is the most simple of the password managers, but it also means it doesn't scale as well and doesn't have all the features some of the other options have. IT Glue is a much better choice for company-wide management of passwords but it has high costs and is much more than …
Chose KeePass
Better UI, and we felt that was imperative for our user base to get a high adoption rate of a new application. The features were very similar, but KeePass seems like a better fit for the organization and grouping of credentials, and the search feature.
Chose KeePass
I have only used browser-based password storage; these are more convenient if you are working in many different places, but for any password storage within a given company, KeePass would be superior.
Chose KeePass
I have used LastPass, 1Password, Chrome Password Management, and several others. Most either are not secure enough for the need, require an internet connection/external service, are not portable, or not open-sourced/require subscription/purchase. Keepass is simple to manage, …
Chose KeePass
It isn't in the same league as the others. KeePass is great for a quick and free password manager, but it doesn't have the autofill capabilities as the others.
Chose KeePass
We did not look at other solutions since this solution accomplishes everything we expect it to. I cannot offer any comparison (other than comparing to NOT using anything). KeePass has been around for quite some time and is a trusted name in the world of password security and …
Chose KeePass
Even though KeePass keeps your files encrypted locally on your hard drive, I felt like I would be a small target to get hacked. Putting all of your passwords in the cloud with everyone else like LastPass does seems like a bigger target to hackers. If LastPass was ever hacked, …
Chose KeePass
KeePass is open source, it's free, and it offers local storage of your database(s) with a variety of encryption protocols.
Chose KeePass
Delinea Secret Server is a similar product, but I feel it is not as easy to use. I am not sure if it has a mobile app. Its autofill and browser extension is nice to have. It seems like a more robust application than what I am doing which is primarily just password storage.
Chose KeePass
We considered several packages, but we focused on what best suited our organization. Security was the most important factor, along with flexibility and how we could customize the package to maximize its effectiveness. Then, of course, we considered the cost of the package. And …

Likelihood to Recommend
KeePass is a perfect tool for use as a password manager and for storing similar sensitive data. This is especially true if you work from a fixed workstation, supporting your clients. KeePass is incredibly valuable. If you're often on the road and need to log in to KeePass occasionally to look up passwords or data, this can be inconvenient. And quickly and securely sharing data across other media isn't really an option with KeePass. Security is more important in this situation.

Based on my experience, Password Genie is well suited for small to medium-sized businesses that need to manage login information for a moderate number of employees and external partners. The app's user-friendly interface and features like password generation, secure storage, and syncing across multiple devices make it easy for employees to access the information they need and for IT administrators to manage and monitor usage. The app's team management feature is also beneficial for organizations that need to share login information with specific teams or individuals. However, Password Genie may be less appropriate for larger organizations with more complex needs. The app's limited integrations and browser support, as well as its limited sharing and customization options, may not be sufficient for organizations that need to manage login information for a large number of employees and external partners, or for those that use a wide range of tools and platforms. Additionally, the app's reporting feature is also not as advanced as some other password managers, which may not be enough for some IT administrators who need more detailed data and analysis.

Pros

  • It can generate strong, random passwords, reducing the risk of weak passwords being used and making it easier for us to implement good password hygiene.
  • It can automatically log users into their accounts, saving time and reducing the risk of typos or mistakes that could result in security incidents.
  • It can be used on multiple devices, including desktop and mobile devices, allowing users to access their password vault from anywhere.

Cons
  • I don't believe that this is so much a negative, but be sure that you keep your password database saved in a location that is accessible (even during an outage). Failure to do so will make it hard/impossible to recover passwords in the event that your database is unreachable (such as if a network drive failure).

  • Limited integrations: Currently, Password Genie only supports integration with a few select apps and services. Some users may find that the app does not integrate with the specific tools they need to use.
  • Limited browser support: Password Genie currently only works on a select number of browsers, this may limit the users who are using some specific browsers.
  • Limited sharing options: While the app has a built-in team management feature, it may be limited for some organizations with more complex sharing and collaboration needs.
  • Limited customization: Some users find that the app's interface and settings are not customizable enough to meet their specific needs.
  • Limited reporting: The app's reporting feature is not as advanced as some other password managers and may not be able to provide all the information that IT administrators need to monitor usage and track activity.

My very good experience in the past 15 years of usage of KeePass makes it easy to decide for a renewal of this friendship. I was never disappointed and KeePass always meets my expectations. The software runs stable and if there should be a software error, it will be fixed in no time. This is customer satisfaction.

Support Rating
I have almost never had to contact support. This product has a wide community, a very expansive documentation/forum site where generally any question/issue already has an answer/fix or explanation/workaround, or plans for improvement in a future version. On the occasions that I have reached out, answers were fairly quick, useful, and respectful.

KeePass is the most simple of the password managers, but it also means it doesn't scale as well and doesn't have all the features some of the other options have. IT Glue is a much better choice for company-wide management of passwords but it has high costs and is much more than just a password manager. LastPass is probably closer to what KeePass can do, but offers the ability to access passwords from all devices such as computers and phones. KeePass is better for being free and is best for use on a single computer.

Free open source version was a bit scary to use as this has confidential information stored. This application was cost effective compared to the other products. Capturing of password was great on this product compared to the other products. ManageEngine password manager is an excellent product, however the product is very expensive compared to Password Genie. Hence the appropriate and wise solution was Passwrd Genie for us

  • The product it self cannot be deemed very expensive
  • It does what it is buit for, hence I am doubtful that there could be a proper means to calculate the ROI of the product
  • This tool is defenetly a must for admins as when they tend to leave the organization this tool can be really helpful in knowledge transfer sessions.
