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

"Tivoli Access Manger lets you separate security from applications and manage at one place."
"Tivoli Access Manager (or IBM Security Access Manager) is a fully featured web authentication, sso and authorization product."
"It provides good scalability and reliability, not to mention the overall availability of the service."
"It is a very stable and good product."
"The WebSEAL reverse proxy is great for protecting your critical systems."
"The integration effort with the end application is quite straightforward and easy."
"It is a simple-to-deploy solution, with many features that are supported out-of-the-box without complicated setup."
"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."
"Possibility to login using the fingerprint sensor on Android/iPhone."
"It saves us from duplicating passwords for different accounts."
"The generator of complex passwords keeps me safe from being hacked."
"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."
"Keeper Enterprise Password Manager has positively impacted my organization by providing us less downtime and more efficiency across all of our organizations."
"Keeper was user-friendly."
"A useful solution for storing encryption keys, programming and developing a SaaS platform."
"In our organization, Keeper Enterprise Password Manager has always made our life easy; with the help of the password manager, we just manage all our portals, passwords, and everything, and it's accessible with one click."
 

Cons

"The pricing is always costly."
"There is Java process that hangs in WebSphere almost every month."
"It was complex for us as we have multiple domains."
"Initial setup was complicated because TAM was implemented as a part of the IDM solution."
"This product is also available in the appliance offering which has not yet matured and has many issues."
"An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the newer appliance versions for hosting the virtual appliances on AWS will help."
"Sometimes, there are long running support tickets (for 6-8 months) and that is unacceptable from the customer's point of view."
"The product has not been updated with emerging technologies over the years specifically around AJAX, REST and Mobile app integration."
"In my opinion, Keeper Enterprise Password Manager could be improved by allowing the creation of templates, basically role templates, that we could deploy to other clients without having to go through the Commander CLI, but rather through the graphical interface."
"Room for improvement in my eyes would be being able to share my credit cards and other types of information. The only thing they really share is passwords, and you can only do it with one password at a time. When you're trying to share it out or trying to remove it from being shared, you can't do multiple selections."
"I would love it if you didn't have to re-authenticate when you start up a new browser."
"Lower the price."
"There were some political issues between account managers over there."
"It would be nice to see this great tool integrate with other tools out there."
"I would add a category for personal documents or photos of ID cards."
"They could possibly add a pre-designed contact feature that would work similar to a cell phone contact feature."
 

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