Pros
  • Fast secret detection
  • Useful remediation workflows
  • Broad source-control coverage
  • Good fit for developer security programs
  • Reviewers across G2, Capterra, and TrustRadius consistently describe the interface as simple enough that non-technical staff adopt it with little training
  • Group- and folder-based sharing is repeatedly singled out as letting admins scope credentials to the right teams and retire spreadsheet-based password sharing
  • Per-seat pricing is low relative to other business password managers, which reviewers cite as a main selection reason
  • 24/7 support is rated well by business reviewers on G2
Cons
  • Detection is not the same as rotation
  • Can generate workflow noise without tuning
  • Advanced governance is enterprise-oriented
  • Requires integration with credential owners
  • The browser extension and autofill draw recurring complaints on Capterra for being inconsistent, slow to load, and occasionally glitchy
  • Advanced admin controls and customization are described as shallow relative to what larger IT teams expect, and mobile admin capability is limited
  • Enterprise identity support is gated: Entra ID, AD FS, and Okta SSO plus SCIM provisioning are Enterprise-tier only, while Business gets Google Workspace SSO alone
  • Seat minimums add friction, with Teams sold only as a fixed 10-user pack and Business and Enterprise requiring at least 5 users
