Helps with password management and sharing
We use the solution for password management and sharing passwords. It's mainly for password security.  I like the tool's keyword editor and SSO.  Keeper does not provide password management for mobile apps.  I have been working with the solution for a couple of months.  We haven't faced any…

Saves us time and money and features Conditional Access policies, SSPR, and MFA
I want better integration between Azure AD and the on-prem environment because there are currently limitations that can hamper employee experience. We use a feature called password writeback, that can be challenging to implement in a hybrid environment. Employees can change their passwords using a self-service password reset (SSPR) feature, which reflects from the cloud to the on-prem identity, but not the other way around. Currently, there is no way to reflect passwords from on-prem identities to the cloud. There are other similar limitations, such as a cap on the number of identities that can be synchronized in a particular time frame, which can be an issue for large enterprises with 300,000 employees or more.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has a double authentication factor increasing the security level."
"It is very easy to install and setup."
"Enables IT department to force very complex passwords for certain users."
"It syncs with all devices and supports all platforms."
"I like Keeper's mobility and its accessibility."
"Available for Windows platforms and also Mac OS and Linux systems."
"It keeps my passwords organized and safe."
"The ability to autofill the login credentials has saved me a lot of time in my day to day computing."
"It's multi-tenant, residing in multiple locations. The authentication happens quickly. Irrespective of whether I'm in Australia, the US, India, or Africa, I don't see any latency. Those are the good features that I rely on."
"Using [Azure AD's] passwordless technology, you're not even using a password anymore. You're basically just creating a logon request without actually sending or typing or storing the password. This is awesome for any user, regardless of whether you're a factory worker or a CFO. It's secure and super-simple."
"It is a central point where we provide the cloud lock-in for our company. We focus the multi-factor authentication within Azure AD before jumping to other clouds or software as a service offerings. So, it is the central point when you need to access something for our company within the cloud. You go to Azure AD and can authenticate there, then you move from there to the target destination or the single sign-on."
"With Azure Active Directory we were able to manage with different options the access for different users."
"Microsoft Entra ID Protection and Microsoft Sentinel are both excellent monitoring features for Microsoft Entra ID."
"The ability to speed up ability is an asset."
"Microsoft Azure AD is easy to install and is a stable solution."
"The user functionality enables us to provide different levels of access, across many applications, for each user. We can customize the access level and set a security level in connection with that access. For instance, we can require MFA. That is a feature that helps enhance our security posture a lot."
 

Cons

"Possible offline access to passwords. Therefore, when internet access is unavailable, I can still access my vault."
"Ability to store 'files' from IOS & Android devices. You can store pics from these devices currently. Most file formats can be uploaded from PC's/Macs"
"It would be nice to see this great tool integrate with other tools out there."
"Needs to improve KeeperFill on iOS."
"If you purchase the premium, then after the subscription expires, you cannot edit your passwords any longer, even if you could before you purchased the paid subscription."
"The organization of items needs improvement. For example, when I log onto the cloud version as well, everything is shown on my folder. It is hard to differentiate between files and documents in my list of items I have stored inside."
"The user experience and the mobile app could be improved."
"API possible needs improvement. Although, this feature is for enterprises which need more then the usual usage."
"Overall, it's not a very intuitive solution."
"Be aware that it may not work perfectly globally yet. There are still glitches with the solution in Africa."
"The support could be better. Lately, they sort of dropped off a bit in terms of quality."
"From an admin perspective, I would like to see improvement in the Microsoft Graph API."
"My problem with Azure AD is that it's designed for medium to large systems, and we're not that large."
"The support is a bit slow."
"I want to be able to identify the audiences effectively and manage them."
"Some systems do not integrate very well with Azure AD. We thought of going for Okta, but later on we were able to achieve it, but not the way we wanted. It was not as easy as we thought it would be. The integration was not very seamless."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
"ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"I work for an academic medical center, where there is a watch kept over every dollar spent. I do have concerns about the micro charges for different levels or features of the product."
"Licenses are based on the usage. There is no cap. It's based on the number of users we provision."
"The basic tier of Azure Active Directory is free, so many users use the service for free. For a small company having the security and compliance that Azure offers is a great benefit. For small companies that are using the basic services, not having to pay for Azure Active Directory is the main asset because they can manage their users and have authentications tools and security."
"The licensing cost is a bit prohibitive."
"I give the cost a three out of ten."
"Azure AD's pricing is comprehensive and affordable. The prices are easy to understand, and the licenses include a variety of security monitoring and additional features."
"I feel Microsoft is very costly compared to other products. That is also what management is thinking. But when we consider security and support, Microsoft is better than any other product."
"The solution can be cheaper."
