Considered Both Products	KeePass NF Nadja Feicht Senior Software Engineer Chose KeePass 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Technician Chose KeePass I am privately using Bitwarden and compared to KeePass, it's a lot easier to set up in a browser, but it doesn't have a standalone application. Helpful? Oleg Liski Web Artisan Chose KeePass Why KeePass: - no recurring fees. - easier to use for small company Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose KeePass KeePass is the most simple of the password managers, but it also means it doesn't scale as well and doesn't have all the features some of the other options have. IT Glue is a much better choice for company-wide management of passwords but it has high costs and is much more than … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Consultant Chose KeePass KeePass is free and compatible with all the devices you or your customers and it has a lot of different uses. Is not only a password manager like Norton safe password or the avast's one. Like the password managers of the browsers, no, with KeePass every customer can find a … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Technician Chose KeePass We didn't use other products. Before Keepass, Our Users were using the password saving in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. In our opinion, this is not really safe. There you also cant save any other applications and passwords. So people were writing down some passwords on … Incentivized Helpful? AC Albert Chen Web Developer Chose KeePass We have tried Last Pass, while it's very nice to use, there are times where it was down and we couldn't access our passwords. There were troubles with the website or plug-in at times when it was updated. It wasn't as trusted due to these factors being out of our control due to … Incentivized Helpful? FH Frank Haarmann Senior Consultant Chose KeePass I cannot remember how and why I selected KeePass. But I think it was the possibility to try it as a shareware product first. In the past, there were only the most important features realized in the software (and some stuff I never needed). To see how the software has been … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose KeePass All mentioned passwords in the Subject are good if you have a Budget for it. If not, KeePass is ideal as it is free and regularly updated. End users can learn it fast with no additional resources. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose KeePass We did not look at other solutions since this solution accomplishes everything we expect it to. I cannot offer any comparison (other than comparing to NOT using anything). KeePass has been around for quite some time and is a trusted name in the world of password security and … Incentivized Helpful? Sam Livermore, MCP, iTIL Lead Systems Administrator Chose KeePass Better UI, and we felt that was imperative for our user base to get a high adoption rate of a new application. The features were very similar, but KeePass seems like a better fit for the organization and grouping of credentials, and the search feature. Incentivized Helpful? Jacob Wall Senior Technical Writer / Client Services Chose KeePass I have only used browser-based password storage; these are more convenient if you are working in many different places, but for any password storage within a given company, KeePass would be superior. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose KeePass I have used LastPass, 1Password, Chrome Password Management, and several others. Most either are not secure enough for the need, require an internet connection/external service, are not portable, or not open-sourced/require subscription/purchase. Keepass is simple to manage, … Helpful? Greg Madden, CISSP Network Administrator Chose KeePass It isn't in the same league as the others. KeePass is great for a quick and free password manager, but it doesn't have the autofill capabilities as the others. Incentivized Helpful? Robert Gephart Partner Chose KeePass Even though KeePass keeps your files encrypted locally on your hard drive, I felt like I would be a small target to get hacked. Putting all of your passwords in the cloud with everyone else like LastPass does seems like a bigger target to hackers. If LastPass was ever hacked, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Team Lead Chose KeePass KeePass is open source, it's free, and it offers local storage of your database(s) with a variety of encryption protocols. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	KeePass
Likelihood to Recommend	Open Source [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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Open Source Very secure - no worries about our passwords being stored insecurely or in the wrong place. Easy to share access to passwords used company-wide. Integrates with Chrome and other browsers for ease of use and speed. Price - free to use. Incentivized Jacob Wall Senior Technical Writer / Client Services Read full review
Cons	Open Source I don't believe that this is so much a negative, but be sure that you keep your password database saved in a location that is accessible (even during an outage). Failure to do so will make it hard/impossible to recover passwords in the event that your database is unreachable (such as if a network drive failure). Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Open Source 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	Open Source Search feature so you don't have to spend time looking for what you need. The ability to right click and save username and password, URL open options so your not locked to a particular browser were all key features we considered in the usability and adoption rate of this application. Highly recommend to any organization for credential management. Incentivized Sam Livermore, MCP, iTIL Lead Systems Administrator Read full review
Support Rating	Open Source 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. Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Return on Investment	Open Source Positive. All of our usernames and passwords for service accounts are in one convenient location. Positive. The ability to organize everything into separate locations/folders is great. Positive. Password generator makes it easy for us to generate a secure password for our accounts.
