Bitwarden
Bitwarden supports various forms of two-factor authentication, including time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), Duo, YubiKey, and other hardware-based tokens. This integration enhances the security of the Bitwarden account and allows to store and manage their 2FA credentials for other applications within Bitwarden itself.

For a stand-alone business this should do the trick, but if using across multiple clients (multi-tenancy not an option). Default settings within the program will cause performance issues if not tweaked, meaning someone with networking experience may be necessary. Not ideal for MSP's unless they only have a few clients, as the manageability must be done within "the walls" of each company.

Cons
Bitwarden
  • Bitwarden has great functionality all around, however, I would in the future like to see this product as an SSO/IDM distributor.

  • Cost could be an issue. They could perform a free trial at the beginning for people to check.
  • It would be good if you can do an online free check of your computer.
  • While the updates are good sometimes your computer is attacked by a virus they did not expect.

I did renew it before because support is great and cost is great. I believe that Norton has a very long experience in what they do and they are doing a great job with all the updates they provide and the work they are doing. Moreover Norton is going in the right direction for sure.

Usability

Easy to use, just missing a few quality of life features. Nothing to suggest it's not awesome as it is, just bells and whistles to make it more convenient.

User interface is excellent. The green tickmark in the tray ensuring everything is undercontrol is so satisfying. I have turned on Auto updates so, I am not bothered about unnecessary download updates popup

Alternatives Considered
Bitwarden
Other solutions felt more clunky or were significantly higher priced. Bitwarden seems to straddle the consumer/prosumer/SMB fence more than adequately by designing their user experience to feel welcoming but also trustworthy and reliable. The other tools seem to assume that users are ok with struggling in their onboarding process.

User-friendly interface (it's not just AV and users who were interacting with the product), performance, resource usage (most of the computers were not very fresh and that factor was very critical), efficiency, it shouldn't be just sitting on a PC - it should protect it, what was perfectly done with that product.

Return on Investment
Bitwarden
  • Gives employer the piece of mind knowing that passwords are safely stored in one place
  • If an employee leaves, you don't have to go searching for passwords, they should all be in one place in Bitwarden.

  • Poor performance against Spyware and other threats despite claiming to act against them (recognizes very few and eliminates less) It is limited to viruses.
  • Regular blocking of incoming scripts (in front of other antivirus)
  • Little or almost no compatibility with the Windows XP Firewall, but they are involved.

Bitwarden Screenshots

Screenshot of the Bitwarden Vault, where users can generate, autofill, and share unlimited credentials and other sensitive data from any browser, mobile device, or desktop application.Screenshot of the Bitwarden browser extension that protects passwords and digital secrets in a vault, auto-fills them, and generates new passwords that are fully encrypted end-to-end (even the Bitwarden team can’t access them).Screenshot of Bitwarden's password generator, used to generate strong and unique passwords, including usernames. It also integrates with email alias services for additional security. Using the strong generator tool keeps personal info like anniversaries and pet names out of your passwords, out of the dark web, and out of hackers’ hands.Screenshot of Bitwarden Send, a feature that lets users quickly share encrypted files and text with another individual via a private link. It can also be used to automatically share vault items using collections in a Bitwarden organization.Screenshot of Bitwarden's sync feature, that syncs passwords and other sensitive data (like identities, addresses, and credit cards) across devices, including mobile devices.Screenshot of where Bitwarden can auto-fill login information into websites. Autofill can be used across browsers, mobile apps (Android and iOS), and other places using associated URIs.
