Overall Satisfaction with Devolutions Password Server

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I tried out the Password Server as a potential solution to our current password solution. I found that it was ok but did not address our needs as an organization. I was just trialing it because we use the RDM from Devolutions and I thought it was would be great to integrate the two. However, there are shortcomings that I did not like. For instance I could not copy the password as it was "hidden" in the password server.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Integration with Devolutions RDM
Cloud interface it a lot easier than having a specific application
Encryption of the password server is very good and secure for all the needs.

Cons

More options for importing password safes/vaults
Allow passwords to be copied without exposing the password in plaintext
Add an extension to web browsers for the password vault

Return on Investment

ROI was higher when I used the password server
The time to set up took a while since the importing from out password vault would not work properly
The server worked quickly reducing our response time

Alternatives Considered

LastPass

LastPass has a browser extension that I use daily. Granted I am a free user of the application not a paid user so there is probably a difference. LastPass does have the autofill option which is a great option when accessing multiple sites instead of having to open the password vault itself.

Other Software Used

PowerBroker Password Safe, LastPass

Likelihood to Recommend

This does not suit our password scenarios since we have a weird password application that is older. It would help us since we have the RDM already. It would also be useful for companies that have a lot of people in their IT department. Since we have a small team it is not worth it to purchase the password server.
