KeePassXC works well for storing encrypted credentials locally. Implementing solutions requiring KeePassXC database synchronization between different devices might be challenging

Keeper Security
I can only think of scenarios where Keeper is well-suited, in my experience. I work in small business (i.e., sole proprietor, 1 employee) environments and Keeper is well-suited to my needs. I imagine it would also be well-suited to multi-user environments, but would require a great deal more management and organization in such environments.

Keeper Security
  • Ease of use. User find it simple and intuitive to use and I find they rapidly adjust to the software with minimal training.
  • Single-sign-on. Super important and really makes things simple for the users and easy to manage for us in the IT team.
  • Sharing features. We knew sharing was a key component of our password management solution. Keeper makes it easy for users and simple to administer.

Cons
Open Source
  • Usability is worse if compared to other solutions but this is a good thing
  • References are a good feature, but it may be complicated to make them work as expected
  • Integration with other applications like browsers can be definitely improved
  • Features like secure notes and storing secrets that are not credentials but very sensitive like credit cards are definitely missed.

  • I find that Keeper could use some work with their desktop interface, a sleeker and friendlier user interface would definitely benefit them.
  • Keeper doesn’t have a Security Dashboard, which makes it more complicated to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your passwords.
  • The automatic web form filling is somewhat limited at the time, but im sure they will improve it soon.

Usability
Open Source
I think some of the interface could be improved. Also, it would be nice to have autotype working in Wayland. Other than that though, it's easy enough that I've been able to teach non-technical people how to use it effectively.

Keeper Security
It's just easy to use, plain and simple. It has the complexity and user-interface that gives you confidence in its build but the ease-of-use that keep things from getting too complicated. A huge plus when you have to onboard new members of the team or summer interns when you need them to step in and make orders on your behalf.

Because it is so good. It always works, has not crashed even in 3 years; I have a lot of data in it (never any problems).

They are not exactly the same. KeePassXC is good for secure storing locally secrets like credentials. All the password managers mentioned above rely on storing data in the cloud and synchronization with various devices. KeePassXC definitely has much smaller attack surface. But at the cost of usability.

I have used the Apple cloud, but if you forget your password into that, once again, you’re at the mercy of calling customer service. With Keeper, you can use the thumbprint option to log on, and there’s any of your needed passwords. It’s fast and simple, and you don’t have to wait online to unlock the app you’ve locked yourself out of.

Return on Investment
Open Source
  • It doesn't cost anything but does the job. No specific ROI impact.

Keeper Security
  • The spreadsheets and printed papers being passed around the office with passwords on them have gone! This is a huge security hole plugged.
  • Users actively use the software which says something - it is easy to use and intuitive. When software is not intuitive, it tends to not get used.
  • It gives IT control over who does what with passwords, and while difficult to quantify it is certainly a dramatically positive impact on the organization.
