Password manager has strengthened daily device security and has simplified secure sharing
While Keeper Enterprise Password Manager has a good interface for password management, I believe they can make the feature for Privileged Access Management a bit more user-friendly, as right now it is somewhat complicated to get a privileged access manager running in both development and production environments. Regarding improvements needed for the deployment of Keeper Enterprise Password Manager, I would like to see a simple way to install requirements on servers so they can easily be accessed through it and use Privileged Access Management. Right now the installation is somewhat complex as there is scripting to be done. It would be great for that setup to be more simple for operators.

"It is very handy to operate with passwords that need to be changed regularly because of the embedded password generator."
"I use Keeper every day, all day long for personal and business use to store and remember more than 100 passwords for the various websites I work on and manage."
 

Cons

"Complex to install and run."
"We have had stability issues lately with the hardware and SAN that the product runs on."
"You must be skilled to use Tivoli Access Manager."
"Redundant Policy servers had to be manually configured using LB."

"The product has not been updated with emerging technologies over the years specifically around AJAX, REST and Mobile app integration."
"An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the newer appliance versions for hosting the virtual appliances on AWS will help."

"If you purchase the premium, then after the subscription expires, you cannot edit your passwords any longer, even if you could before you purchased the paid subscription."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
"It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
