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.

Symantec VIP is best suited in environments where you need two factor authentication. As explained before, Symantec VIP is super easy to use and manage for our users across our entire organization. If you have your users using a virtual private network, Symantec VIP is the way to go; no doubt about it!

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.

  • The UI is intuitive and simple to use and navigate. When generating a secure token to be used for VPN access, all the navigation is clear and intuitive. There is no confusion when our users use Symantec VIP.
  • Every generated token expires after 30-60 seconds, thus providing an extra layer of security and reducing any risk of someone re-using a token or pin to gain unauthorized access into our system.
  • The app is super responsive and has no lag and little to no latency. Everything loads quickly and is super speedy.
  • Our department can opt for a 6 digit code which we can use while logging in on different sites and SSO access can be easily set up and achieved with this tool.

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.

  • when setting a token to a phone call, the phone calls often take a minute + to call the user.
  • When Symantec's VIP app is removed or reinstalled on a phone, the credential ID will change, and that dictates a call to the helpdesk to allow the user access.
  • Temporary security codes while handy, must be set to expire immediately to stay secure.

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.

Dashlane
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.

The Symantec VIP solution has a more easy implementation process, which makes implementation faster. The Prove Of Concept of the solution presents the best results compared with Duo. The final price charged was cheaper. Consultants that participate in the process get show to us in a more clear manner all scenarios where we can use the Symantec VIP.

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.
