ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus vs. SplashID

If you need users to reset passwords but don't have VPN access to your network, this is one of the best options. It also works very well for helping a locked-out user, provided they have taken the time to set up their account. Then, of course, they need to remember the details, but when they have dotted all of the i's, it just works.

SplashID is really only well suited if you are looking to store passwords offline on your own server. There is no risk of them being leakedin a large scale breach of SplashID, but then it is only up to your security. Since it is not stored online, there is also not a way to restore the master password, so don't forget it!

Incentivized

• Assist with post-implementation reviews to ensure we configured everything correctly
• Better integration with mobile devices such as an app to change M365 passwords for our mobile-only users
• It would be great if password changes of mobile users updates the AD so these accounts don't reflect as dormant AD accounts.

Incentivized

• Tabbing through password creation is not intuitive
• The app is slow at unlocking to reveal passwords
• There are a limited number of fields you can use for each password making it difficult if you have lots of information to store about one app
• It is not easy to categorize passwords and stay orginized

For end users the product is very easy to use. For administration, you may need to do some looking around or contact support to achieve complex tasks. However the product is very flexible. Every dialog box, banner, etc can be customized if needed. Also, support is very good at helping with any issues.

SplashID is pretty usable, but there are definitely some key downfalls. Like I previously mentioned, it lacks easy organization. It is also not very user friendly to enter passwords. The password generation tool could use some additional options to remove certain special characters because on more than one occasion I have had to adjust a password to remove a prohibited special character.

I did some research but did not find any other solutions that worked the same way or did what I needed it to do. I've used other manage engine products in the past and knew I could trust their software.

SplashID is not nearly as comprehensive as LastPass. LastPass is much easier to orginize and create folders for certain categories. It is also easier to launch logins stored in the vault. The only benefit SplashID provides is that you can store passwords offline. SplashID is better on the pocket book because it is a one time fee where LastPass is subscription based.

Incentivized

• Much fewer help tickets for users with expiring passwords.
• The automated emails mean we don't miss anyone whose password is expiring.
• We've also used the MFA option for admin access to servers, adding that little extra peace of mind that they are secure.

Incentivized

• SplashID keeps our passwords off the cloud
• SplashID allows us to have unique passwords for each app without having to remember them or store them in an unsecured manner
