Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the tool's keyword editor and SSO.""I like Keeper's mobility and its accessibility.""I can access my passwords from any Internet connected device.""The possibility of assigning information to different groups and individuals has been the most valuable.""Keeper Bridge.""I like a couple of things about this solution. Being able to share passwords with other people is valuable. You can see if the information is out on the dark web and whether you have weak passwords and the last time they were changed. You could also have the 2FA or MFA codes embedded in the application so that you don't have to use your phone or any other 2FA device, which is something very important.""Auto login across platforms allows for no copying and pasting.""The generator of complex passwords keeps me safe from being hacked."

"If you look at our organization, and really all financial institutions, we have a lot of legacy apps. So it really helps to get Single Sign-On.""You can quickly deploy the entire product with a basic config within couple of hours.""Ease of use is very good, for administrating it. It's very well known.""It's quite scalable.""SAML is the best thing we're using right now because there is no need for creating an external account.""We almost never have outages nor see slowdowns.""The most valuable feature is that it meets the requirements of the customer. You have a lot of features in the product. Every product has them, but the question is, are these products going to meet the requirement of the customer?""Authentication & Authorization are important because all the sites need authentication for security purposes. That has been handled pretty well all these years with SSO."

Cons
"Search functions are sometimes weird.""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.""The technical support for this solution could be faster support and improved if they had a better understanding of my questions.""Needs to improve KeeperFill on iOS.""Its aesthetic needs improvement.""I would love it if you didn't have to re-authenticate when you start up a new browser.""Maybe a sort of category organizer to help with organizing passwords for different things, such as banking, medical, shopping, and school.""Ability to set up password profiles that can predefine custom fields and password complexity."

More Keeper Cons →

"An area Siteminder could improve on is that there are a few limitations, in terms of new protocols for OpenID. If I want to have different scopes, the features are limited. They also do not have APIs exposed, which is a major drawback. API is a feature I would like to see included in the next release.""Some of the new protocols, like OAuth 2.0, could be improved.""Better documentation. I went through some sessions on single sign-on for version 12.7.""The GUIs are not very clear, especially when integrating with other products from CA.""We're currently unable to find information about if the solution can do a full implementation with SQL. Some better and more accessible documentation for new users or those curious about the product would be helpful.""I think they need to integrate some of the newer types of authentication into the product. I'm not seeing the innovation when it comes to biometrics in the product.""As we are moving in to the mobility space, this is where we really see SiteMinder and their other product really come together to provide a solution base to a different area where the IoT is coming, the different business communications are happening. All of those things require authentication and we really want to see this product grow into that role.""I would like to see a move towards the newer technologies, which is what we are doing right now. I think that's in the roadmap that's coming, in the 12.8 and 14 releases, but we would like to have it sooner than later."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The more users, the better the price. Always opt for the live support."
  • "Free works unless the paid is absolutely necessary."
  • "Pricing might be a little less, but with promo codes and family plan - best offer"
  • "It's definitely worth it and affordable. Their sales team can definitely help scale your needs on licensing and provide pricing options."
  • "Just buy the yearly subscription."
  • "Its cost is relative to the value of the information stored in Keeper."
  • "ROI is hard to know, but it has to be several times the expense of the product."
  • "We chose their optional annual subscription; I believe we paid monthly — I thought it was a good deal."
  • More Keeper Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price is quite comparable to the other enterprise-level solutions in that market."
  • "I recommend conducting a PoC on every available product before choose one."
  • "CA solutions are generally expensive but for the customer the ROI is big."
  • "Symantec Siteminder is expensive; they could definitely do better on the price."
  • "The licensing is fair for this solution."
  • "Siteminder is a little costly. You pay for licensing, and they offer packages, so if you have less users, then you have to buy different products at different prices. If you have more of a user base, then the package is different. They also include other features—for example, if you have a database and you're using Siteminder, then it's good to use a Semantic-specific database, but if you are using less, then you have to purchase the database separately. Whereas if you are going for a bigger license, then it comes within the package. It depends on which plan you are using."
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
