What problems does PasswordManager Pro solve?

Administrative/Privileged passwords are literally aplenty in enterprises. Servers, databases, switches, routers, firewalls and any other hardware or software, could have equally large number of administrative passwords. These passwords are insecurely stored in spreadsheets, text files and even as printouts and are shared by a group of administrators. This traditional practice brings with it a host of issues such as:

• Insecure storage of passwords inviting security threats
• Uncontrolled super-user privileges
• No role-based access control; internal controls become fragile
• Lack of accountability for actions
• No provision for enforcing standard password practices/policies
• No centralized control

Password Manager pro solves all these problems by providing a secure system to store, administer, and share passwords.

There are three license types:

• Evaluation download valid for 30 days capable of supporting a maximum of 2 administrators
• Free Edition licensed software allows you to have 1 administrator and manage up to 10 resources. Valid forever.

Note:

• Password Manager Pro comes with four user roles - Administrator, Password Administrator, Password User & Password Auditor. The term 'administrator' denotes both Administrators & Password Administrators. So, licensing restricts the number of Administrators AND Password Administrators.

• Standard Edition - If your requirement is to have a secure, password repository to store your passwords and selectively share them among enterprise users, Standard Edition would be ideal.
• Premium Edition - Apart from storing and sharing your passwords, if you wish to have enterprise-class password management features such as  remote password synchronization, password alerts and notifications, application-to-application password management, reports, high-availability and others, Premium edition would be the best choice.
