Dashlane vs. Univention Corporate Server (UCS)

It is well suited in org where password protection is mandatory. Most companies need it hence as the service you're providing needs to have a secure vault and this is where dashlane comes in picture. Also great as a authenticator app. Even has VPN for those that need. It is less suited for personal projects.

Univention Corporate Server is well suited:

1. If an Organization would like to use it as a complete Active Directory Server.
2. If an Organization wants to deploy other applications which are important like SSO, Mail Server, 2FA etc., as with one click all these Apps will be integrated magically thus reducing the Admin job considerably.
3. Web based management which will be quite useful for the Admins who are from Windows background only.
4. Univention as a company which has close to 2 decades of experience.

• Their Secure Notes are an easy and great way to save and protect important data and notes not specifically password-related.
• I really like their Payments feature. I've used that at my desk and when traveling to fill-in payment information on the fly.
• I've recently begun using Dashlane with PassKeys and found the process to be simple and intuitive to use.

• Complete replacement for MS Active Directory Server.
• Univention App Center - awesome concept with which Apps can be installed for the Domain.
• App Center can be compared to Google Play Store or Apple Play Store - Organizations can gain tremendous advantages.
• Plethora of Apps which are both free and paid and excellent apps for the Organizations.

• Some of our language and explanations could be simpler. Most users are not security professionals, they just want to get into applications and do their jobs.
• Guidelines for diagnosing and fixing problems can always be clearer and better targeted toward laypeople.
• Sometimes we need to change a user's email address (like if they change their name). Changing email addresses is very hard if not impossible. It appears to be impossible once it's set in the account.

• As Univention is from Germany, lot of informative articles are in German but English articles are also good but less in number.

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

We previously used LastPass, which was also an excellent alternative for Dashlane. Dashlane seems to have more security features compare to LastPass. We can send pass to any user in our organization easily also we can share details with our clients. we can securely manage all the pass in our vault and timely change it when it's time comes.

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 loses against 1Password in almost every way. The only aspect that is better for Dashlane is the ability to share with your organization as it will pre-populate a list of users.

I didn't select Dashlane, it was selected for me. If it was up to me, I would choose 1Password over Dashlane all the time.

We have evaluated Zentyal and ClearOS but we found out that UCS is more suited to every Organization.

• Far less time has been spent on credential management
• It is easy to share new account password and credentials with others with the organization

Incentivized

• As a partner, we have gained lot of respect from our customers as UCS is rock solid.

• UCS has surpassed our expectations.
