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.

With its mobile application, this tool offers a convenient and user-friendly experience to its users

To improve the tool, I think that the solution should consider integrations with other cybersecurity and IT technologies, such as Privileged Access Management and Site Integration. Additionally, the implementation of second-factor authentication via Symantec VIP Access Manager, CyberArk, and Delinea, among other technologies, could be best for the product. While the existing technology is okay, improving the integration capabilities for Symantec VIP Access Manager would benefit the product. I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company. While many cybersecurity solutions can function independently, they often lack integration with our systems due to missed integration points. Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Tech support has been good. We haven't needed it much, because it is not a complex application. There is not that much you have to do with it."

"Reduction in number of sensitive passwords stored insecurely on local systems."

"The most valuable feature is the liberty of keeping encrypted passwords and elevated information in a sealed vault."

"It's improved security; we don't have to worry about people storing password loosely and secure them."

"The shared folders is an important feature. It's the primary feature we use. Also, the ability for LastPass to autofill and hide the passwords, so we don't have to keep changing passwords every time a person leaves, is valuable."

"The most valuable feature for me is being able to pair applications and user permissions."

"It is easy to use."

"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."

More LastPass pros

"In this version 9.1, lots of changes are done for the dashboard, User Store etc."

"Other than it provides us with remote access, so it's fairly easy to install, fairly easy to set up, and provides us the ability to get into our corporate environment."

"The tool has been very stable, in my experience. Also, I haven't faced any issues or problems with integration or connectivity."

"It's a good tool. It's pretty straightforward."

"Cloud-based service and management."

"The VPN we are using is good and working quite well."

"It is easy to use."

"The two-factor authentication is most definitely valuable and moves us closer to being able to check off those important boxes for compliance."

Cons

"The management through the plugin is poor. It consumes tons of client resources especially as an administrator."

"Our biggest issue over the years was around the stability of the LDAP sync to AD."

"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."

"I would like to be able to reduce the log out time of the session."

"I struggle a little bit with the mobile app. As a browser extension, it works really well, and we are able to get to what we need to. However, on the phone, it's not quite as easy to navigate."

"Its user interface should be better, and there should probably be more information about scalability."

"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."

"LastPass has a problem syncing the passwords to all of the users."

More LastPass cons

"It is challenging to use when installing a new version."

"The gateway server is a RADIUS server, but it lacks the functionality of returning RADIUS attributes other than those that are required for the gateway to authenticate the users."

"If they had dashboards or a report for managers or executives, then it would allow them to see the status and have it make sense to them."

"I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company...Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial."

"In the next release, I would like the ability to work offline with remote access."

"The User Store synchronization part needs to improve. Also, the logs, reports, and dashboard can be improved."

"It gets out of sync with Active Directory or whatever it might be, whatever the authentication piece is on Active Directory, and they just reset it on the backend. I never have to contact the vendor."

"Geofencing needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"I was not terribly alarmed with the pricing, and am pleased with the fact that a home license is included with each business license."

"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."

"I have been involved with many password managers. Passportal, Secret Server, CyberArk, and BeyondTrust. I chose LastPass for our organization because of the pricing. The organization didn't want to implement something really expensive. LastPass, for what it's offering, for the price that it's offering the service, is unbeatable."

"You do not have to purchase licenses for your entire organization. You can scale as adoption grows."

"The subscription model is rated at a fair price."

"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."

More LastPass pricing and cost advice

"Licensing and pricing seems very fair."

"There are additional costs for maintenance."

"There is a one-time setup fee plus the licenses are provided as per the number of users. For SMS and voice calls, the costs are separate."

"I can say that the solution is worth the money."
