1Password is a great tool when it comes to data security and managing your passwords. It is perfect for daily work that requires accessing a lot of different login credentials to different softwares, servers etc., so it is a great tool for all web developers and programmers, but also to project managers and other employees that have to login to multiple different services regularly.

It is not easy to calculate the actual ROI due to the difficult quantification of all factors, but it certainly contributed a lot in protecting, monitoring and controlling access to our system. It also made it much easier to detect vulnerable external users with simple and "easy to hack" passwords they use on multiple apps.

Pros
1Password (AgileBits, Inc)
  • Convenient secure access to my passwords anywhere.
  • Auto-generates secure long random passwords I would never be able to remember with so many I have to keep track of.
  • It's a small thing, but the numbers and punctuation are shown in different colors so you never need to wonder if it's a zero or a capital O.
  • Keywords let me organize my passwords however I want, by client, by function, whatever, the choice is up to me.
  • A handy place to keep contacts and all kinds of other data besides just passwords. Can add any fields I want, even attach files in the secure vault.

Cons
1Password (AgileBits, Inc)
  • 1Password is so secure, that it lacks a self-managed "forget your password" functionality which means that as a manager, I have to approve password resets which may slow down some users.
  • On Chrome, the extension sometimes stops working when the browser is updated.

  • Troubleshooting diagnostic logs effectively requires VS Code
  • Group and role management requires additional effort
  • The programming model (XML) could use some developer experience love

Usability
1Password (AgileBits, Inc)
The 1Password app design is top notch, much better than a couple other password managers I've looked at. The app and service are very flexible, allowing for many different types of data storage. The browser extensions generally work very well, allowing for easy access to login information while using pretty much any modern web browser.

I have never had any issues with 1Password and they have always been able to answer my questions adequately resolve my issues. Furthermore, they have a robust peer forum that can be accessed. They have helpful "Get to know Apps", videos and many articles to assist in the process of using the product.

Alternatives Considered
1Password (AgileBits, Inc)
1Password and LastPass are presently quite comparable in terms of the feature set they offer to their users. Unfortunately, it is their pricing models that differ, and is the only reason we felt the need to switch to LastPass from 1Password. LastPass simply offered better pricing for their business tier k(cheaper by $1/user/month.)

Each one of these alternatives has pros and cons. PingOne from Ping Identity states they "help deliver the secure and seamless customer experience to win battles for customer acquisition, retention, revenue, loyalty, and trust." While that may be the case, they did not fit our needs. We have a complex system and it did not seem to fit into our business.

  • Having monthly active users billing was cost-effective.
  • Helped with the IT support that was already managing the Azure platform of the company; this helped to manage the costs better and optimize them.
