PROS

Shared folders and the ability to autofill and hide passwords are valuable for easy management and security.
The scalability is enhanced by different user-level permissions, simplifying delegation of features.
The encryption of passwords and sensitive data is essential for maintaining security.
Off-boarding staff is streamlined without the need to change shared account passwords.
Enhanced security for team collaboration, reducing insecurely stored sensitive passwords on local systems.

CONS

Management through the plugin is poor, consuming significant client resources, particularly for administrators.
There are issues with the stability of LDAP sync to AD over the years.
Password rotation requires manual intervention, with current methods being insecure.
Integration with Active Directory is desired for managing privileged accounts more effectively.
The add-in for Internet Explorer and Google Chrome poses security risks, leading to it being banned.

The shared folders is an important feature. It's the primary feature we use. Also, the ability for LastPass to autofill and hide the passwords, so we don't have to keep changing passwords every time a person leaves, is valuable.

The stability has been rock solid. A couple of years ago, they were breached. However, if you had two-factor authentication enabled, it didn't affect you. We did, so it has been good.

Until now, I haven't found anything like the dashboard. It gives you a security score. I find that to be really great. The Sharing Center is really great as well. And the Security Challenge is really great too.

It's always hard to put a value on return on investment. You avoid one breach and it's paid for a million times over. We got a penetration test company internally, just to see how secure our network is, and there happened to be one bit of software that had been overlooked by an external company that managed it. It hadn't been upgraded so that managed to get them into the network. They would've been able to access through the test thing a file that we had previously. If that was a real-life scenario they would have been able to get into our network and get full access to our organization's passwords. If they did get in, they would have gotten access to the cloud. The ROI we see is that we are completely secured compared to what we had previously where there was a vulnerability.

The most valuable feature is the liberty of keeping encrypted passwords and elevated information in a sealed vault.

The management through the plugin is poor. It consumes tons of client resources especially as an administrator.

The ability to set up an account expiration limit/date would be very useful.

We have issues from time to time where, for some reason, it just keeps auto logging-out the user and then, the next day, they'll come in and it will work just fine.

It is not super feature laden. It does not stand out versus the competition.

One thing I wish LastPass had is an integration with Active Directory, not for synchronizing users but to actually manage, in some way, privileged accounts by replacing the password of LastPass itself.

I also don't like the add-in for Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, because when you do the add-in, you can actually save that to your credentials in your IE, and the problem is, if I left my screen open, or any of the IT people leave their screen open someone could come up and access all their credentials in LastPass without having to put a password in within your own network. I don't like that functionality. We've banned that from any of our staff adding that as an add-in because we see that as a security risk.

Right now we have two products; there is the password manager and there is the authenticator app. Ideally, these should be fully integrated and support better handling of two-factor authentication or any other authenticator data.

Its user interface should be better, and there should probably be more information about scalability.
