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

"Since its birth it is an unbelievable stable product."
"The WebSEAL reverse proxy is great for protecting your critical systems."
"It is a good solution for anyone to take to their enterprise and get a buy in."
"Tivoli Access Manager's proxy product (WebSEAL) is extremely fast."
"SAML 2.0."
"Some of the valuable features are: Reverse proxy Protected object space Ease of integration Multiple and robust AuthN and AuthZ mechanisms built-in No single point of failure (SPOF)"
"We have managed to automate the creation of all employees, and the company's clients and then assign the accounts/accesses according to business need."
"Flexibility to connect with different environments and product stability are the best features."
"Stronger passwords are being used across the board in our organization."
"I like a couple of things about this solution: Being able to share passwords with other people is valuable, you can see if the information is out on the dark web and whether you have weak passwords and the last time they were changed, and you can also have the 2FA or MFA codes embedded in the application so that you don't have to use your phone or any other 2FA device, which is something very important."
"Enables IT department to force very complex passwords for certain users."
"It is very handy to operate with passwords that need to be changed regularly because of the embedded password generator."
"It increases productivity, makes gathering data online more efficient, and keeps all the information you could possibly need or want at your fingertips, a must-have for anyone."
"Possibility to login using the fingerprint sensor on Android/iPhone."
"I can access my passwords from any Internet connected device."
"Keeper Enterprise Password Manager has positively impacted my organization because it helps to manage our secrets more easily, and the application gives more accessibility to share with anyone."
 

Cons

"Complex to install and run."
"Sometimes, there are long running support tickets (for 6-8 months) and that is unacceptable from the customer's point of view."
"Installation and configuration. If you don’t know the requirements of the supporting components, it could be complicated to install and this has been improved in the later versions that are renamed to IBM Tivoli Security Access Manager."
"Older TAM versions are not compatible for connecting to a DB."
"The profiling element is incredibly robust, but also equally as complex, it requires an off-site course to be able to understand the context or the plethora of options available."
"The pricing is always costly."
"Administration of the product can be improved a lot."
"Multi-factor authentication with social integration needs to improve."
"I think Keeper Enterprise Password Manager can be improved by ensuring that you do not have to sign in every day to the vault."
"Needs to improve KeeperFill on iOS."
"Ability to set up password profiles that can predefine custom fields and password complexity."
"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."
"Its aesthetic needs improvement."
"I would add a category for personal documents or photos of ID cards."
"Lower the price."
"The technical support has no experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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