    Delinea Secret Server is a similar product, but I feel it is not as easy to use. I am not sure if it has a mobile app. Its autofill and browser extension is nice to have. It seems like a more robust application than what I am doing which is primarily just password storage.

    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.

    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.

    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 …

    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 …

    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 …

    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.

    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, …

    [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.

    Cons
    Open Source
    • 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 The interface looks outdated and is sometimes quite technical.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.

    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.

    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.
