The Zoho Corporation offers Zoho Vault, their password management application for teams supporting credential-free convenient login and safe access share between members of a team.
I would recommend Delinea to any organization or colleague, as I have used it to support our shared services model, as well as a dedicated model for people support to customers, for privileged access management. Delinea has provided us with effective methods for handling unnecessary login attempts to the customer infrastructure. Additionally, the connection thread is available in the audit trail for review, which is a valuable feature to have.
As I have many profiles and use many Email addresses for work, I need to keep them secure, so ZoHo is the best tool for me, where I can easily access my IDs and passwords and share them with my teammates. Before 3-4 months, I forgot my Master Password. At that time, I faced some issues with the login, but no worries, as it's my fault, but we can say that Zoho provides good security.
Password Management: Its entire purpose, really. Secret Server stores passwords in an incredibly easy to use way. They can be organized in groups, they contain all the information about the site or system the password is used for (including URLs for websites), and even a notes field. You can set up specific policies for expirations and complexity, and Secret Server can even generate strong passwords for you. Using a password is simple, too, since you can just click a button to add it to your clipboard; you don't even have to unmask the password.
Security: The passwords are stored encrypted in a SQL database, and the application requires an authenticated login. This could be local, but we tie it into Active Directory. Each folder of passwords has groups assigned (in our case, again, AD, but you can make them local groups) with different permission levels, so we can compartmentalize passwords. Desktop technicians don't have access to network switch passwords, etc.
Easy Setup: It took me about an hour to get the server running, from spinning up the VM to importing our old password list. It took a little longer to organize the passwords into proper folders, and then assigning groups, but it was easy to do.
Personal Passwords: Each user also gets a personal folder, where they can keep their own, unshared passwords. This is nice for sites or systems with individualized logins (e.g., a firewall, VPN, etc.)
Favorites: Secret Server lets you tag passwords as "favorites" so you can easily find ones you use constantly. The search feature is nice, but this is nicer.
Simple User interface makes it easy for the users and No training required.
Password sharing capabilities helps a lot
I can generate the new password directly from Zoho Vault which removes my headache of creating a strong password by using capital & small and special characters
They recently changed the look/feel as an upgraded experience, but my team prefers the old look.
The ability to share "chambers" (organized buckets of logins) should be a feature. Right now, we can create chambers, but not share them with other users. So everyone has to create their own chambers.
I would appreciate the ability to have automated reminders from the system to update passwords or to change after a designated amount of time.
My rating is purely based on the configurational activities, as feature-wise delineation has all the features that are very beneficial for customers, though the implementation is a bit more manual work, which can be reduced with a low-code platform. Along with that, we can have a better UI to have intuitiveness and can manage the platform for shared customers in a better way. Overall, it is a very good tool for PAM.
This rating is given based on: Ease in Importing and accessing passwords and credentials. It is more reliable whether it is browser or mobile. Autofill feature in Zoho Vault is quite helpful. Also provides two factor authentication with the feature of storing master password. We get an option to login to Zoho Vault via Authenticator or master password whichever is easy and convenient.
Never really needed to use the customer support of Zoho Vault, but all other Zoho services have excellent support and excellent forums to participate in, and I don't assume Zoho Vault would have anything less
There were not very many solutions that provided the entire package of taking an account from creation and deactivating it when no longer needed, as well as providing the discovery of unknown service accounts. Other solutions like RoboForm and LastPass did not offer the ability to manage your service accounts and added layers of complication to ensure security.
IT Glue combined all our needs as an MSP. Vault was great until we got out of using Zoho Help Desk. We were able to monitor server information and client documentation better with IT Glue. Vault is easy to use, but in the end wasn't what we needed. Vault is a great program, but if you're looking to have a much more detailed password documentation system then I'd suggest looking for something similar to IT Glue where everything is combined together. Vault is great for passwords and passwords only.
