I have run into a couple of smaller teams that are using 
https://thycotic.com/solutions/free-it-tools/secret-server-free/ and they seemed pretty happy with it for the scale 
they required.

I use both KeePass and LastPass, and we use LastPass Enterprise in IT.

For non-IT staff I am endorsing LastPass but mostly recommending that they encrypt their exiting Microsoft Office and 
Google Docs password lists with Office encryption and CloudLock, respectively.

Yes, really. It's just as secure against reasonably foreseeable threats, teaches a transferrable skill, and is simpler 
for the mass audience to adopt. For many business offices the layered-security benefits of password-encrypted documents 
on the department file share are real. Maybe they don't want their passwords on BYODs or in the cloud.
