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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is a good solution for anyone to take to their enterprise and get a buy in."
"It provided a secure and robust end to end security solution."
"Tivoli Access Manager (or IBM Security Access Manager) is a fully featured web authentication, sso and authorization product."
"Before the solution was implemented it took around 2-3 weeks to get all the necessary account information for a new employee in my organization, and since implementation this now only takes a few minutes."
"It has helped them to improve and control web and mobile application security."
"OAuth 2 is now the de facto standard for API protection and scoped authorized delegation. IBM TAM now supports OAuth 2 and can act as fully compliant OAuth 2 authorization server."
"It is a very stable and good product."
"Single Sign-On functionality is valuable because the core purpose of the product is to allow universal (or bespoke) SSO for application suites."
"We are more organized and know that our data is protected."
"With Keeper, I can access the information across just about any platform which really makes the product invaluable."
"Keeper makes it much easier for our employees to keep separate strong passwords for every application and website login."
"Available for Windows platforms and also Mac OS and Linux systems."
"I have cognitive issues and Keeper is a real lifesaver time and time again."
"It is very easy to use, intuitive, and cost effective."
"Keeper allows you to manage credentials in an organized way, with a secure password generator that incorporates random creation tools and good security practices, which allows for an easy, quick, organized update and sharing with a work team."
"We can access our sign-ins and passwords on up to five devices per user. This means I can access a given site and my login and password for that site from my home and office computers as well as my phone and iPad."
 

Cons

"The license model is pretty complex."
"The self-service portal needs improvement."
"It was complex for us as we have multiple domains."
"Older TAM versions are not compatible for connecting to a DB."
"Administration of the product can be improved a lot."
"I would rate the technical support a 6/10."
"The whole product could be made into one suite instead of multiple components which are essentially a part of the same infrastructure."
"This product is also available in the appliance offering which has not yet matured and has many issues."
"Being able to import from other password managers directly."
"Export functionality."
"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."
"The organization of items needs improvement. For example, when I log onto the cloud version as well, everything is shown on my folder. It is hard to differentiate between files and documents in my list of items I have stored inside."
"I think Keeper Enterprise Password Manager could be improved in SSO management, which is a little iffy at times."
"I would love it if you didn't have to re-authenticate when you start up a new browser."
"Ability to store 'files' from IOS & Android devices. You can store pics from these devices currently. Most file formats can be uploaded from PC's/Macs"
"I would like the ability to change the theme colors to anything I choose and not be limited to preset themes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The IBM prices are, as ever, extortionate, even with a business partnership, and high levels of discounts."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"Its price is reasonable."
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
