We use Password Manager Pro and it works reasonably well for us although we aren’t really making the full use of all of its features such as automatic password resets and such. But it was a lot cheaper for us than Thycotic as we only have a license for 5 administrators (only administrators are able to add new resources into the database; you can have an unlimited number of users who are able to access or change existing passwords). Adding resources is a bit complicated and searching doesn’t always work the way you expect it to. I also set up a shell script that uses the PMP API (which requires allocation of 1 admin license for the API account) which other folks can use to help streamline the process.

The primary goal is to house IT service accounts and shared accounts with elevate privileges, but we are also considered expanded future use such as possibly using such a solution to manage access to critical systems, and manage short term privilege escalation. We’d also be able to use the tools to better audit the use of these accounts. After an initial set of product demos we are leaning towards Thycotic or ManageEngine Password Manager Pro. Do any of your schools have experience with either of these products, and would you be willing to share how your implementation and ongoing use have gone?
