Straightforward to set up, good support, intuitive to use, and offers good value for the cost
The most valuable feature is being able to use a single master password to access all of your other passwords. One feature that is really important to us is the ability to create secure notes. In our scenario, these are notes such as how to get some of our devices on the network. They are processes and procedures that we don't want anybody else to see, especially within the IT department. It's a small department and we have very many processes that we use, but not on a daily basis, so we aren't going to remember them. By using LastPass and secure notes, we can go back to those notes in a secure fashion and remind ourselves how to do certain things. For instance, how to create a test database for accounting, which is something that we do once a year. We don't want that to be out in a non-secure fashion, where somebody in the public can see it.

Offers robustness and ease of use
The product improves our organization's daily healthcare tasks since the use of the tool reduces a lot of support calls, and its users remember many passports that keep on changing. Writing down the passwords somewhere would compromise the security of the system. In our company, the product streamlines access to critical applications and makes it more secure. The management of the system becomes easy with the product. With the product, you can also decide on the strength of the policy you need for your environment. It also helps in the area of authentication credentials. With the product in place, users need to remember fewer passwords, which makes an organization's environment much more secure. The product has improved productivity in the sense that users are now able to manage the tool on their own without having to wait for IT support. IT teams also have to handle fewer support calls and can focus on more value addition in other areas. I recommend the product to others who plan to use it. I suggest that it is always better to use the product's SSO capabilities since it provides security. With SSO capabilities, if you can use multi-factor authentication, you can add a second layer of security to make your system safer and free from attacks. The product's integration capabilities with existing healthcare infrastructure are good. The secure access provided by the product has helped all the applications in our company where security is required. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is being able to pair applications and user permissions."
"The initial setup for this process is straightforward and extremely easy. It just works."
"It's improved security; we don't have to worry about people storing password loosely and secure them."
"It is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the liberty of keeping encrypted passwords and elevated information in a sealed vault."
"Increased security around password management for teams and collaborative efforts with external vendors."
"Scalability is fine, no issues with that, especially now that they have added different user-level permissions. That has made it a lot easier to delegate out certain features to have other people do."
"Until now, I haven't found anything like the dashboard. It gives you a security score. I find that to be really great. The Sharing Center is really great as well. And the Security Challenge is really great too."
"Security is the best feature of Microsoft Azure Sentinel. It has its own base security. Our customers like that the security is available in Azure."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and its robustness."
 

Cons

"The biggest thing is there is no good way to have LastPass rotate passwords without human intervention. Right now, we have to go into each folder, then rotate and manually update each password. It can be done it by loading a bunch of passwords into a spreadsheet, but this makes the whole process insecure because then the passwords have been noted into a spreadsheet which have to be upload. We have to go into 40 to 50 applications and manually update passwords, because we don't view their solution of writing a bunch of passwords on a spreadsheet, then uploading them as a secure solution. This should be done internally within LastPass."
"One thing I wish LastPass had is an integration with Active Directory, not for synchronizing users but to actually manage, in some way, privileged accounts by replacing the password of LastPass itself."
"Right now we have two products; there is the password manager and there is the authenticator app. Ideally, these should be fully integrated and support better handling of two-factor authentication or any other authenticator data."
"I would like to be able to reduce the log out time of the session."
"We have issues from time to time where, for some reason, it just keeps auto logging-out the user and then, the next day, they'll come in and it will work just fine."
"The ability to set up an account expiration limit/date would be very useful."
"The management through the plugin is poor. It consumes tons of client resources especially as an administrator."
"It is not super feature laden. It does not stand out versus the competition."
"We had some feedback from customers who have said it was a confusing product. The product is confusing to use for the end-user. For example, they do not know how to migrate the Azure Sentinel, but others have liked the product that has started working on it."
"The shortcomings in the stability need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The subscription model is rated at a fair price."
"I was not terribly alarmed with the pricing, and am pleased with the fact that a home license is included with each business license."
"You do not have to purchase licenses for your entire organization. You can scale as adoption grows."
"LastPass was cheap as chips. It was very cheap, hence one of the reasons we went with it. If you're a small organization and you're after something that'll do 90% of your requirements, it's very good. Licensing and all that was really cheap and simple to understand."
"The pricing and licensing are okay. Basically, at the last contract negotiation, they attempted to jack the rate up and we just said, "No." We still did negotiations with them, but they bumped everything up quite a bit."
"In terms of pricing, my feeling is that they are all roughly the same. LastPass is in line with its competitors, plus or minute a dollar or two per month."
"If you import from sources like XML, keepass, CSV files be sure to clean the import files, this reduces the adjustments in the slow tool itself."
"The previous pricing was of good value. I don't really know, as of now, whether the new pricing is. The Enterprise license is $48 per license per year now. That is a steep increase of $24, which is what it was when we first signed up."
"Users need to pay either annually or on a multi-year basis towards the licensing costs of the product."
