AppViewX CERT+ vs. ManageEngine Password Manager Pro

AppViewX is well suited for any IT department, cybersecurity department, or networking department of any and all companies.

It's great for any company that relies on active-directory as their primary source of user password authentication and other data. It's ability to integrate with a host of other tools such as Google Workspace, Azure AD (if you aren't using ADFS/DirSync/etc.), FreshService, Trello, etc. as well local apps like Postgres, i/AS400, and more make it a great middleware tool for SS.

• PMP is great for sorting passwords into different groups depending on the category of application access. This makes it easy to find the password that you are looking for.
• Application credentials can easily be saved to the clipboard to make it easier to copy and paste them into the appropriate log in screen.
• Different types of credentials for the same application can be stored next to each other and are easy to distinguish by the icon next to the name. For example, SSH credentials, web credentials, and local root credentials are all easy to sort under one application group.

• None that I can think of!

• There is no flexibility in how accounts are grouped.
• The implementation of lowest privilege means you cannot use groups for assigning role based security. If you give a team read access, and a limited subset of the team write access, the read access supersedes write.
• Some versions have been fragile. There have been times where the server has stopped working and needed a restart daily/weekly. Read the issues resolved in updates. There have been some critical failures in security over the years (i.e. unauthorized access possible by URL manipulation).

AppViewX CERT+ is the best as their user experience top notch. They have built it on an open sourced platform, which gives a lot of flexibility. Their integration with other providers and CAs are good compared to the competition.

We evaluated one on-premise solution, Password Manager Pro, one cloud-based solution called Passwordstate to store all sensitive password information and also secure notes. The latter was licensed by users, so we knew as the team grew it would cost quite a lot more to maintain. We wanted access for various users within the information technology and systems department at a granular level to have separation of the various passwords into categories which we then give permission relevant for the right users.

• Huge positive impact on our operations.
• No more certificate related outages.

• Reduce our overall cost of ownership thanks to this affordable password tool
• Reduce time spent in the process or on tasks to remind a password to change or to apply policy directly integrated with the tool
• Improve security through complexity and auto-regeneration
• Improve change control for account passwords inside RFC process
