Considered Both Products
KeePass
Chose KeePass
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.
Chose KeePass
We considered several packages, but we focused on what best suited our organization. Security was the most important factor, along with flexibility and how we could customize the package to maximize its effectiveness. Then, of course, we considered the cost of the package. And …
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.
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.
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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.
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 …
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.
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.
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, …
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.
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 …
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, …
Chose KeePass
KeePass is open source, it's free, and it offers local storage of your database(s) with a variety of encryption protocols.
RoboForm
Chose RoboForm
RoboForm is easier to use and more intuitive than the others in my opinion. It has more flexibility in what it can/will store.
Chose RoboForm
RoboForm is just generally easier to use than LastPass. I am in the computer business and I have set up both. RoboForm is by far easier in setup and use. LastPass is more complicated. My clients have changed to RoboForm once they see it in action. Plus I think RoboForm is …
Chose RoboForm
As noted earlier, I have not compared RoboForm with other password managers because it is the only password manager I have ever used and I have been satisfied with the software for at least 12 years (I frankly can't remember when I started using it but I know I was using it in …
Chose RoboForm
I honestly have not used any other products, I have used RoboForm before password managers became popular. I have seen other people use last pass and it did not seem as smooth.
Chose RoboForm
The number one alternative we see is LastPass. Many of our clients use it and are happy with it and I'm sure it's very close to RoboForm. I have personally used RoboForm for at least 10 years and have been extremely happy with it, so we did not do much comparing recently.
Chose RoboForm
I checked out Dashlane. I didn't see any clear advantages over Roboform.
Chose RoboForm
RoboForm and LastPass are very similar products, with similar features. It probably boils down to which interface you like better. I prefer RoboForm.

Likelihood to Recommend
KeePass is a perfect tool for use as a password manager and for storing similar sensitive data. This is especially true if you work from a fixed workstation, supporting your clients. KeePass is incredibly valuable. If you're often on the road and need to log in to KeePass occasionally to look up passwords or data, this can be inconvenient. And quickly and securely sharing data across other media isn't really an option with KeePass. Security is more important in this situation.

I cannot speak to enterprise or larger company use since I am a solo business owner. But for solo, very small, and small businesses it is a reliable, easy-to-use password manager. The cost has always seemed reasonable to me but I admit I have not shopped around because I've been happy with RoboForm - it is the only password manager I have ever used. A personal account, which is what I have, is $23.88 USD per year - they usually have a discount for the first year. If I had employees the business account might be worth it although I haven't investigated it. (It costs more - $39.95 per year per user for a one-year subscription). Discounts are available for 3-year and 5-year subscriptions.

Cons
  • 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).

  • I have no difficulties with this app and therefore no suggestions for improvement. I'm not a software engineer. It works for me. I'm happy.

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.

Support Rating
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.

Alternatives Considered
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 just a password manager. LastPass is probably closer to what KeePass can do, but offers the ability to access passwords from all devices such as computers and phones. KeePass is better for being free and is best for use on a single computer.

Return on Investment
  • KeePass is free so you can share it whit all
  • Is quick to use, you don't have to activate VPN or access the web to obtain a password or a quick guide
  • Is not super easy to use, you need to be a little patient to have all configured fine

  • The cost is not high so the ROI was easy as we use the program efficiently to save time looking for passwords elsewhere.
  • It would be nice if we could gain ROI on commissions from RoboForm where we resell it
