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.

Improved user experience with seamless integration and easy installation
The feature that I mostly valued is the ease of installation on different systems, especially on Windows. Additionally, it is very beneficial for deploying single sign-on sessions between different windows on a web browser, provided I am connected to the right identity provider. That seamless integration significantly improves user experience and efficiency.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Keeper Enterprise Password Manager is critical for managing credentials both internally and for customers, serving as a must-have solution."
"Password sharing and SSO. These features almost become a necessity to make sure that company data is safe and reduce the possibility of data breach."
"It is very handy to operate with passwords that need to be changed regularly because of the embedded password generator."
"The ability to share credentials easily and securely was a big improvement."
"It is the best product we recommend to our clients."
"I like the tool's keyword editor and SSO."
"A useful solution for storing encryption keys, programming and developing a SaaS platform."
"I have a significant number of passwords and Keeper helps me manage them all for both work and personal accounts, for me and my whole family."
"The solution has saved our company from a lot of problems."
"Symantec Siteminder Is both scalable and stable."
"The features most valuable to us are its usability, the way you can customize it, and its supportability."
"SSO has impacted security on the whole and has provided a very good user experience."
"It’s a secure product; we can make use of two factor authentication with the product and so from a security perspective, it gives us strong authentication."
"It is reliable."
"The feature that I mostly valued is the ease of installation on different systems, especially on Windows."
"We have three single sign-on products in our office and I believe that the CA product offers the best product of the three."
 

Cons

"Export functionality."
"They could possibly add a pre-designed contact feature that would work similar to a cell phone contact feature."
"The technical support has no experience."
"Needs to improve KeeperFill on iOS."
"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."
"Sometimes, Keeper Enterprise Password Manager gives a wrong password."
"Maybe a sort of category organizer to help with organizing passwords for different things, such as banking, medical, shopping, and school."
"Customer Service: The vast majority of the time excellent, but sometimes on weekends it could be better."
"We are finding some compatibility issues. We're still working with CA on them."
"Yes it can be complex, I think that's one area we have already given feedback to the product management, that is a little complex to get the set up and get it going and the upgrade process is very complex."
"They get us answers, but often they’re too slow."
"I would give the technical support a rating of 2-3/10."
"The support team could work on their response time and overall competence."
"They need to make configurations easier, and not have the engineer having to guess what will happen when he changes a particular setting."
"Once you get past the first level, it’s good support. Typically once you’ve supported the CA product for a couple of years, you probably know more than first-level support, so it’s frustrating to explain to them the issue."
"The initial setup of Symantec SiteMinder was a bit tricky. I would rate it a seven on a scale of one to ten, where ten indicates an easy setup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"Its price is reasonable."
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"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."
"Symantec Siteminder is expensive; they could definitely do better on the price."
"The licensing is fair for this solution."
"The solution's pricing is competitive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I recommend conducting a PoC on every available product before choose one."
"Siteminder is a little costly. You pay for licensing, and they offer packages, so if you have less users, then you have to buy different products at different prices. If you have more of a user base, then the package is different. They also include other features—for example, if you have a database and you're using Siteminder, then it's good to use a Semantic-specific database, but if you are using less, then you have to purchase the database separately. Whereas if you are going for a bigger license, then it comes within the package. It depends on which plan you are using."
"CA solutions are generally expensive but for the customer the ROI is big."
"The price is quite comparable to the other enterprise-level solutions in that market."
