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…

Overly complex, initial setup could be simplified, but the migration methods are good
We were using VMware NSX for high availability.  We recently used it to migrate a way to the public cloud The migration methods are the most valuable aspect of this solution. The rest is just overly complicated. We had some issues with the cloud version. It needs to be cheaper. We are stopping…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Keeper Bridge."
"Stronger passwords are being used across the board in our organization."
"Auto login across platforms allows for no copying and pasting."
"Enables IT department to force very complex passwords for certain users."
"A useful solution for storing encryption keys, programming and developing a SaaS platform."
"Can create folders for specific types of information (i.e., work, personal, and school)."
"What I like the most is the fact that I can just mark anything and it is automatically copied into the clipboard."
"We can access our sign-ins and passwords on up to five devices per user. This means I can access a given site and my login and password for that site from my home and office computers as well as my phone and iPad."
"The solution is easy to use and is good for management control."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create, develop, and deploy servers in minutes to hours, rather than days."
"The security offered by VMware NSX is the most valuable, plus it's a feature-rich product that's straightforward to install and configure."
"NSX extends Layer-2 scalability on Layer 3, covering the vRO and extending the capability on Layer 3 by decapsulating using a new mechanism. NSX-V was designed to use with VMware products and Success 360, providing more flexibility toward different levels of cloud, containers, and components. NSX-T gives you the ability to stretch your network across different view locations. If you have multiple sites, you can connect them using NSX-T."
"The most valuable features are security and dynamic routing."
"The most valuable feature of VMware NSX is the DFW (distributed firewall)"
"Firewall security is one of VMware NSX's vital features"
"Over the last two years, they've enhanced a lot, especially in regard to integration with OpenStack."
 

Cons

"Rearranging folders via drag/drop functionality would be very helpful."
"Room for improvement in my eyes would be being able to share my credit cards and other types of information. The only thing they really share is passwords, and you can only do it with one password at a time. When you're trying to share it out or trying to remove it from being shared, you can't do multiple selections."
"Its aesthetic needs improvement."
"The technical support for this solution could be faster support and improved if they had a better understanding of my questions."
"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."
"I would like to see a way to store files and photos in the next update​. If it already does this, I have yet to explore it."
"Search functions are sometimes weird."
"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 isn't easy to deploy."
"In the next release, they should enhance the visual interface. With NSX-T, it's difficult to communicate between the public cloud and the container."
"The technical support could use some improvement."
"VMware NSX only supports some platforms like KVM."
"Despite being somewhat behind in the cybersecurity field, VMware should develop a cloud and a red team to continuously monitor for new malware and ransomware."
"They have to work more and more on the integration for public cloud services and have cyber security platform integration."
"I would like to have automating reporting built into common service management platforms, such as JIRA, Serviceaide, and ServiceNow."
"They have some limitations in the firewall features as compared to the on-prem or dedicated hardware appliance. They can add more features, such as IPS and IDS, to the cloud firewall."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
"Its price is reasonable."
"Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
"ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
"Just buy the yearly subscription."
"Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
"The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
"The pricing is available on the vendor's website."
"I was not involved in the purchase of the solution but I hear it is on the expensive side."
"The product pricing ranges from medium to expensive. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"We are using a perpetual license to use the solution and we have support."
"The pricing is higher than other options from Palo Alto, Fortinet, and Cisco because it is sold in a bundle."
"VMware has a subscription and perpetual license. In the New Year, they're changing many things about the licensing model. Previously, NSX was licensed according to the number of sockets inside the appliance, so we bought VMware licenses based on that. However, that may have changed this year. We are still contacting the vendors to understand the new licensing strategy."
"The solution is free and the price for the support can be expensive."
"The price of VMware NSX is reasonable."
"I would rate the pricing of VMware NSX as seven out of ten"
