Re: Password Management

If yearly the price per user is up 200% - LogMeIn bought LastPass 3
years ago, I noticed mention of 3 upticks(.)

If you really like LastPass, there is an alternative offered at $3/user
with on-premise hosting
( https://bitwarden.com/#organizations) . They are basically an open
source LastPass, their GitHub is here
( https://github.com/bitwarden) . You can even use Duo for MFA.

I will refrain from providing any additional information. Surely I have
mentioned plentiful options and pricing characteristics. Password
management can be an expensive part of IAM. More reasonable pricing
models with Bitwarden
( https://help.bitwarden.com/article/why-should-i-trust-bitwarden/) 
and Passwordstate
( https://www.clickstudios.com.au/compare-password-managers.aspx) .
Best wishes navigating the solutions.

It’s really not so much about price as it is the 100% increase every
year.  I don’t want to keep paying for something that increases that
much every year.  If it works out that LastPass is still the best option
for our requirements, we’ll continue.  I appreciate all the feedback
from everyone so far, just want to make sure we are investigating all
options!

Their pricing maxes out at $5,700 at time of email (once off cost) for
unlimited users.  Beyond that, yearly upgrade protection is $1,140.
 
The pricing and yearly upgrade plan decreases in pricing if less users.
If not checked into, they have a free demo for up to 5 users. Not a bad
option to save! Still has your typical PAM features and more..

IWU is in the beginning stages of implementing Keeper Security.  One of
the reasons we choose it was the price point.  About 48$/yr/usr and we
are only using in IT for now.

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!
