Overall Satisfaction with LastPass for Business
Our organization uses a multitude of websites and services to run our operations and LastPass for Business has enabled us to cut down on time required to login to these sites and greatly increased our security. Our team is made up of both technical and non-technical resources, before Lastpass for Business, logins and passwords were stored on a shared Google Sheet with very poor access control and very lax security. As our business matured and our clients demanded more rigorous security controls, the need became apparent for a password management solution that was both user-friendly to accommodate all levels of technical expertise on the time, robust and scalable. Several solutions were looked at, both in-house and external vendors and our business settled on Lastpass for Business. One of the key selling points was that most of our team were already using Lastpass for their own personal use so their familiarity with software played a key role in adopting it. Our BU leaders and IT Staff now easily control access to the tool and we've integrated it in the onboarding and exiting of employees. We now meet and exceed many security requirements and have been able to adopt very complex passwords that aren't easy to guess or remember. The browser extension for Chrome is also very easy to use, intuitive and requires little to no effort.
- Ability to have LastPass for Business create very complex passwords beyond the minimum requirements, we typically aim for 24-character passwords where supported and shy away from words which could be used in a brute force or dictionary attack.
- Integration with major OS and Browsers make LastPass for Business a clear winner for being user-friendly, intuitive and adaptable.
- Access controls are greatly improved over the previous in-house worksheet method of keeping track of logins and passwords.
- Small learning curve with how to use the tool and how to have it auto-populate login fields automatically or force it to when it doesn't happen on its own.
- Difficult to integrate or use both LastPass for Personal use and LastPass for Business use together at the same time.
- We've seen a marked decrease in the amount of chatter related to requesting logins and passwords for sites.
- We've increased our security around access control and password management greatly with this tool, cutting down on the risk of identity theft and unauthorized account access.
Many of the alternatives we reviewed featured similar functions and features but LastPass for Business kept outscoring those alternatives, especially due to its familiarity with our employees who already use LastPass for Personal use. LastPass for Business also seemed to have more 2FA options and very robust mobile apps for both Android and iOS. LastPass for Business also had very easy to use and intuitive access controls for administrators.
