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

"The integration effort with the end application is quite straightforward and easy."
"Several SSO methods are supported out of box, federation based SSO (SAML / Oauth / OpenID etc) setup is easy, performance and scalability are very good, and the internal STS token service can be used for custom SSO tokens."
"Since its birth it is an unbelievable stable product."
"Tivoli Access Manager's proxy product (WebSEAL) is extremely fast."
"The combination of TAM with IDM in IBM Tivoli Identity Manager helped us to realize robust and secure authentication infrastructure in accordance with industry regulations and laws."
"Before the solution was implemented it took around 2-3 weeks to get all the necessary account information for a new employee in my organization, and since implementation this now only takes a few minutes."
"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."

"The ability to autofill the login credentials has saved me a lot of time in my day to day computing."
"The solution makes my work faster and a lot safer."
"Customer Service: Excellent, had an issue early on with access permissions and they fixed it quick like champs."
"Keeper Enterprise Password Manager has positively impacted our organization by increasing our overall security."
"Both the stability and the scalability of Keeper are great."
"i have only one password to remember, which is the one to get me into Keeper."
"It is working great with web and app components working on browser extensions, which makes my life much easier."
 

Cons

"The whole product could be made into one suite instead of multiple components which are essentially a part of the same infrastructure."
"Web Portal Manager does not implement the full set of functions found in the command line"
"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."
"The pricing is always costly."
"We have had stability issues lately with the hardware and SAN that the product runs on."
"I have not tested the stability yet."
"Older TAM versions are not compatible for connecting to a DB."
"Multi-factor authentication with social integration needs to improve."
"Possible offline access to passwords. Therefore, when internet access is unavailable, I can still access my vault."
"I don't really think the Vault is much use to me."
"The technical support for this solution could be faster support and improved if they had a better understanding of my questions."
"Ability to set up password profiles that can predefine custom fields and password complexity."
"The user experience and the mobile app could be improved."
"Customer Service: The vast majority of the time excellent, but sometimes on weekends it could be better."
"They could possibly add a pre-designed contact feature that would work similar to a cell phone contact feature."
"Lower the price."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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