Re: Password Management

We had an Enterprise version of Thycotic Secret Server when I arrived at my
current role -- pricing was not palatable for the feature set we were
actually using.
We switched to the Vault version which has the functionality we are using
and the licensing/maintenance costs that won't break the bank.  We're happy
with the product.

We also have Secret Server and are happy with it. Thycotic recently began
offering discounted "business user" licenses that are meant for anyone not
needing advanced PAM capabilities. From what I understand, they using this
pricing model to better compete with password manager vendors like LastPass.

which is developed by UT Austin's ISO (who also developed DorkBot, ISORA,
and other security tools) and provisioned in a SaaS model through
SaltyCloud (a "public benefit corporation"). We use it for both end-user
credentials as well as securing/sharing other secrets (e.g., API keys,
license keys, S/MIME certificates, etc). It integrates with our campus SSO
and has a very robust "M-of-N" security model for administrator access to
end-user secrets (requires a quorum, so that a single administrator can't
retrieve end-user secrets unilaterally).

Thanks,

Looks like this topic hasn’t been discussed in a while (~2 years).  We *
*have** had around 100 users in LastPass Enterprise for our IT
department for the past 4 years.  This is the 4th year in a row that
the price has increased 100% year over year.  It was $8/year/user 4 years
ago.  So over 4 years $8*2*2*2 = ~62/year/user today.  What is everyone
else using these days?  Are you using DUO with it as well?  Thanks!
