Dashlane
Experience where Dashlane is well suited. A remote work environment organization with many remote employees needs a secure way to store and share passwords. Dashlane's cross-platform functionality and secure password sharing enable users to access necessary accounts without compromising security. The area where Dashlane is less appropriate. Highly restricted offline environment- Sometimes, an organization operates in a highly secure environment with limited or no internet. Dashlane requires the internet to work, so an offline mode may be a significant upgrade.

I think that the platform is well suited to many Remote Access VPN solutions, but I also think there is a lot of room for improvement on the backend. If you are hoping to deploy your APM solution across many different datacenters or colos, it may not be the best choice for the final solution.

Pros
Dashlane
  • Ensuring secure & unique passwords created for each account.
  • Allowing the company to see a "security score" of how secure the team's password management is.
  • Sharing passwords securely between employees.
  • A "vault" for storing other secure information (notes, credit cards, etc.)
  • Free Hotspot Shield VPN included in our tier of accounts.

Cons
Dashlane
  • The software will often mix up some of the passwords we use on sites that have similar addresses.
  • Some users have complained that the interface is confusing.
  • We build web forms within a web-based application. The software does not do a good job of ignoring fields on those forms and tries to auto-populate information into them while we are building them.

  • CCU Licenses are limited by device and are not shared between APM devices
  • User sessions are not stored globally, so persistence can be an issue with users all over the world
  • Configuration can get complicated when split up between multiple sites

It has served us very well until now and at the pricepoint it doesn't make us second guess our current relationship.

Usability
Dashlane
Have used LastPass and 1Password, as well as iCloud Keychain (now Passwords in iOS 18). LastPass is terrible; the interface/experience is bad overall. 1Password is much better than LastPass but is too robust, and the Apple Keychain/Passwords App is a little too simple. I'm a former Apple and a fanboy, so if and when they improve the Passwords app and bring in the stored payments/secured notes and password generator into the app itself, it'll be the app to beat for Dashlane for me. For my enterprise usage, though, Dashlane is the clear winner.

We've had no issues with Dashlane. I can't speak to their customer service because I have not personally needed to contact them. I guess that speaks about their product if we've not had any issues to reach out about. Great for supporting data/information on multiple platforms that are shared among team members.

Dashlane
Dashlane’s customer support is often rated higher, providing more responsive and helpful assistance. LastPass has a slightly steeper learning curve than Dashlane, but it offers more flexibility with user permissions, which can benefit teams. Dashlane includes unlimited passkey support and a clean breach history, while LastPass is more accommodating for smaller teams.

It is open platform so support is not good and than F5 and features visibility as not good as F5. F5 Set up and easy to use to admin console. Also have more feature visibility for load balancing, web server accelerator, application server ddos protection and WAF. F5 more efficient to handle concurrent request.

Return on Investment
Dashlane
  • Dashlane tremendously enhances our firm's security of sensitive data on the individual and team user levels.
  • Utilizing Dashlane dramatically simplifies onboarding new team members. We can easily share key information and confirm that the new members have access to the things they need, reducing the time needed to complete the onboarding process.
  • When offboarding a team member, Dashlane is equally essential to our team. It allows us to ensure that key credentials and information are shared with the right team members and that parting members can download their personal data and transition to their own accounts with minimal stress.
  • As a small firm, Dashlane allows us to manage our sensitive data effectively without the expense of a separate IT team. This gives us peace of mind and confidence to focus our resources on other tasks.

  • This is really a tough question and I believe F5 should look into the price tags of these products which would help the SMB segments to use this product.
  • As for our industry and the kind of business the ROI is a bit high.
