Overall Satisfaction with Dashlane Password Manager

Dashane is an important part of my business. It has key
features that allow me and my development team share access to password protected resources without sharing the password itself with users. users can use Dashane to fill and login to a resource but does not necessarily show them the password. This maintains a level of security that is important to me.

We also use the secure notes feature. This allows us to securely transfer information between users that are not necessarily passwords.

We like that it comes with VPN access for users, that it lets you categorize the different types of passwords into Business and Personal groups, etc.

Pros

  • Generate passwords following rules
  • Secure Notes
  • Secure Password Sharing
  • VPN Access

Cons

  • Search is lacking. The desktop app had better features
  • I can no longer find needed features. Such as the option to only use a password on a specific subdomain. this is important because I have hundreds of subdomains for testing client software builds before releasing to their domain.
  • The Mobile app and Browser Extension are not synced. I have several Secure Notes and Passwords that I cannot find anywhere in my mobile app, but can find without issues in the extension.
  • We develop software and would build this for ourselves, but it saves us the cost of doing so.
  • It has access to a VPN which is useful in some specific use cases for unusual client needs.
  • It ensures my team can share passwords securely, invisibly, and quickly for situations that require it.
Dashlane is usable, but there are 2 key issues that annoy me.

1. The mobile app and the browser extension are not synced and i cannot find passwords in the app that are clearly in the extension.
2. The system doe snot make it easy to assign a password to a specific subdomain. I get hundreds of passwords that i have to go through any time i go to any subdomain on my main site because of the nature of my business. I need the option back to assign a password to only work with a specific subdomain (and all related paged on that subdomain)

note: The search features have been annoying in the past. I just went to test them to verify my issues and found that notes inside of a password are finally searchable. This helps.
Yes - It replaced an in-house password manager we built to manage passwords prior to learning about available products like Dashlane. We did this because the in-house solution would have cost too much to create an upkeep vs the cost of Dashlane. We do plan to go back to that solution once we hit a number of users that creates an ROI on our in-house solution vs Dashlane cost, but that currently looks like it will not happen anytime soon.

Dashlane has been a great fit for my business due to the level of security it offers, management of the accounts, shareability and categorization of passwords. It offers me the ability to share my passwords with several users who have personal accounts without any additional costs and it is easy to upgrade them when they begin to have a need for saving their own passwords and using other features.
