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.

"A useful solution for storing encryption keys, programming and developing a SaaS platform."
"We are more organized and know that our data is protected."
"Keeper Enterprise Password Manager has had a positive impact on my organization because it allows us to secure all of our clients' passwords in a secure and legal way in Zero Trust mode."
"The ability to autofill the login credentials has saved me a lot of time in my day to day computing."
"The generator of complex passwords keeps me safe from being hacked."
"Segregation duties is another great benefit. It has allowed us to automate the process of creating user accounts really well."
"It helps protect our applications and provides identity management."
"The product greatly facilitates a centralized identity and access management system."
"The solution has features that allow you to easily distinguish between protected and unprotected resources."
"That seamless integration significantly improves user experience and efficiency."
"This is the only access management product that I have come across which configures end-to-end and hosts resources."
"It is pretty easy to learn."
"The solution has saved our company from a lot of problems."
 

Cons

"Being able to import from other password managers directly."
"The technical support for this solution could be faster support and improved if they had a better understanding of my questions."
"Needs to provide an API to be integrated with the information systems and offer secure file hosting service with sharing and editing capabilities."
"Needs to improve KeeperFill on iOS."
"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."
"Keeper does not provide password management for mobile apps."
"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."
"There were some political issues between account managers over there."
"It seems that when there's a new version, patch, or service pack, we find bugs."
"CA SSO does have stability issues."
"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."
"I used to get the runaround initially. They would ask us the same four questions all the time."
"The main thing is we do not have the traceability and good monitoring that CA can provide us to capture problems when they occur."
"Symantec Siteminder needs to have adaptive authentication and multi-factor authentication as integrated features."
"They need to make configurations easier, and not have the engineer having to guess what will happen when he changes a particular setting."
"Some of the new protocols, like OAuth 2.0, could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"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."
"Its price is reasonable."
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"CA solutions are generally expensive but for the customer the ROI is big."
"I recommend conducting a PoC on every available product before choose one."
"The price is quite comparable to the other enterprise-level solutions in that market."
"Symantec Siteminder is expensive; they could definitely do better on the price."
"The solution's pricing is competitive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The licensing is fair for this solution."
"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."
