Chose KeePass
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 …
Chose KeePass
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 …
Zoho Vault
Chose Zoho Vault
Storage works the same, but the browser integrations from Zoho Vault are still very buggy.
Chose Zoho Vault
Zoho Vault is very competitive when compared to LastPass for Business. It has all the features that LastPass provides and then some. When compared to KeePass, being an online application, Zoho Vault is cross-platform so overcomes the advantages of Keepass being a …
Chose Zoho Vault
IT Glue combined all our needs as an MSP. Vault was great until we got out of using Zoho Help Desk. We were able to monitor server information and client documentation better with IT Glue. Vault is easy to use, but in the end wasn't what we needed. Vault is a great program, but …

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.

The reason I selected 7/10 is because I don't have any experience using other systems similar to Zoho Vault. It works fine for us, but I also have experience with Zoho Recruit, and based on that experience, I know that there are better choices out there. I would encourage anyone I was recommending this product to, to also research similar products.

Pros
  • Very secure - no worries about our passwords being stored insecurely or in the wrong place.
  • Easy to share access to passwords used company-wide.
  • Integrates with Chrome and other browsers for ease of use and speed.
  • Price - free to use.

  • Organizes credentials.
  • Keeps them securely stored.
  • Chambers/options to restrict views.

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).

  • They recently changed the look/feel as an upgraded experience, but my team prefers the old look.
  • The ability to share "chambers" (organized buckets of logins) should be a feature. Right now, we can create chambers, but not share them with other users. So everyone has to create their own chambers.
  • I would appreciate the ability to have automated reminders from the system to update passwords or to change after a designated amount of time.

Likelihood to Renew
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.

Usability
KeePass is easy to use and requires no prior training using it. I would rate KeePass a score 9 out of 10. It stands out in managing credentials securely and efficiently. No other similar app performs its core function as well, making KeePass an essential tool for password management and security.

I selected 8/10 because while I don't have any experience using other products similar to Zoho Vault, I do believe it is easy to use and maintain. We do not have any problems using this product and have never needed to contact customer support.

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.

Never really needed to use the customer support of Zoho Vault, but all other Zoho services have excellent support and excellent forums to participate in, and I don't assume Zoho Vault would have anything less

Alternatives Considered
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.

Zoho Vault is very competitive when compared to LastPass for Business. It has all the features that LastPass provides and then some. When compared to KeePass, being an online application, Zoho Vault is cross-platform so overcomes the advantages of KeePass being a cross-platform opensource tool, that is especially used by Linux users across the world.

Return on Investment
  • KeePass is free so you can share it whit all
  • Is quick to use, you don't have to activate VPN or access the web to obtain a password or a quick guide
  • Is not super easy to use, you need to be a little patient to have all configured fine

  • Inexpensive when packaged with other Zoho products.
  • Saved time on projects by being easy to access
  • We ended up importing all of our Vault passwords into another program very easily.
