    Chose Dashlane Password Manager
    KeePass is an opensource software that we had used before. It lacks the usability that we wanted from it.

    Chose Dashlane Password Manager
    KeePass didn't have cloud sync or password sharing. When we were investigating options, LastPass didn't seem as robust and had security concerns surrounding it.

    Chose Dashlane Password Manager
    UX on Dashlane is better than RoboForm. Autofill and cross platform of Dashlane are superior to KeePass.

    Chose Dashlane Password Manager
    Dashlane was the best looking of them, we selected it because it went better with our communication style. 1Password was the second on the list, but we liked Dashlane applications more as well. It is really well design and polished, without compromising ease of use or speed.

    Dashlane was less intuitive and the feature to automatically fill forms with username and password wasn’t working as good as KeePass. Also managing it, creating new passwords etc. took more time.

    Dashlane
    I think Dashlane is a great service for anyone who uses the internet. We need to create accounts on almost every website, and Dashlane helps generate secure passwords and store them safely, but easily accessible through its seamless browser extension. Any business or personal lifestyle can benefit from Dashlane when you go online

    [KeePass] works extremely well for personal work passwords and personal-use passwords for home. It allows users to remember 1 single complex password in order to gain access to the entire database of passwords. It doesn't work so well if you want to sync passwords to multiple devices such as your computer or phone. It can be done, but it's not simple.

    Passportal is pretty good at password management. I'd like it to be as good as LastPass but it's not there yet in my opinion. Also, the documentation portion is not very user-friendly. It uses its own formatting for articles instead of just using Word.

    • Easy to share access to passwords used company-wide.
    • Integrates with Chrome and other browsers for ease of use and speed.

    Cons
    Dashlane
    • The mobile app works fine for quick access, but autofill across different apps can be inconsistent. Sometimes it doesn’t recognize the login field, which slows people down when they’re on the go.
    • Occasionally the browser extension logs users out or doesn’t sync immediately with the desktop app, which causes frustration if someone just updated a password.

    • The user-friendliness could be better. The interface looks outdated and is sometimes quite technical.
    • If you're on the road a lot, KeePass isn't very user-friendly on a smartphone or tablet. It's fine to use on a laptop, though.
    • Sharing passwords with colleagues who are temporarily unable to log into KeePass independently could be improved.

    My very good experience in the past 15 years of usage of KeePass makes it easy to decide for a renewal of this friendship. I was never disappointed and KeePass always meets my expectations. The software runs stable and if there should be a software error, it will be fixed in no time. This is customer satisfaction.

    Usability
    Dashlane
    Dashlane is usable, but there are 2 key issues that annoy me. 1. The mobile app and the browser extension are not synced and i cannot find passwords in the app that are clearly in the extension. 2. The system doe snot make it easy to assign a password to a specific subdomain. I get hundreds of passwords that i have to go through any time i go to any subdomain on my main site because of the nature of my business. I need the option back to assign a password to only work with a specific subdomain (and all related paged on that subdomain) note: The search features have been annoying in the past. I just went to test them to verify my issues and found that notes inside of a password are finally searchable. This helps

    KeePass is easy to use and requires no prior training using it. I would rate KeePass a score 9 out of 10. It stands out in managing credentials securely and efficiently. No other similar app performs its core function as well, making KeePass an essential tool for password management and security.

    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.

    I have almost never had to contact support. This product has a wide community, a very expansive documentation/forum site where generally any question/issue already has an answer/fix or explanation/workaround, or plans for improvement in a future version. On the occasions that I have reached out, answers were fairly quick, useful, and respectful.

    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.

    To be honest, at this point I would like to switch to both LastPass for password management and IT Glue for documentation. Each of these products does a better job separately than Passportal does at both together.
