Keeper vs ManageEngine Password Manager Pro (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Keeper if

• Fits if five people in a household each want their own vault, plus a shared folder for the Wi-Fi
• Works for teams of 5 to 10 on Business Starter, at $2 a user a month billed yearly

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you never want to pay, as free means ten records on one phone with no syncing
• Pricey if you're one person, at $42.99 a year against Bitwarden's $19.80
• Not for you if you want to pay monthly, as the pricing pages only show yearly billing
• Tight if you expect dark web alerts or file storage included, as both cost extra outside Family's 10 GB
• Watch out: single sign-on and SCIM need Enterprise, the Windows app needs Windows 11, and reviewers had to ask support to cancel

Pick ManageEngine Password Manager Pro if

• Fits if your IT team must keep its credential vault on its own servers
• Works for companies already running other ManageEngine products

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a hosted vault, as it is on-premises only
• Watch out: no prices are published, and cost depends on edition and administrator count
• Tight if you need session recording, which appears in the higher editions only
• Not for you if you are buying for yourself, since it is built for admins managing servers

Keeper

• Keeper Free is limited to one mobile device and ten records.
• BreachWatch dark web monitoring and extra file storage cost extra on personal plans; only Family includes 10 GB of storage.

• Prices are quoted per month but billed annually; the pricing pages show no monthly billing option.

ManageEngine Password Manager Pro

• No prices are published; licensing depends on edition (Standard, Premium or Enterprise) and administrator count.
• It is offered only as an on-premises product; the vendor points to Zoho Vault for a cloud vault.
• The trial allows two administrators; Password Users and Auditors are not limited by the license.
• Session recording and several automation features appear in the higher editions only.

Keeper

Encrypted vault and autofill

Stores passwords, passkeys, payment cards and files, and KeeperFill enters logins and two-factor codes across apps and browsers. A generator creates passwords and passphrases.

Passkeys

Saves passkeys alongside passwords so they can be used from any device and operating system, and the browser extension manages them directly.

Sharing and One-Time Share

Share records and folders with set permissions, or send a time-limited One-Time Share link to someone who does not have a Keeper account.

Zero-knowledge encryption

Keeper says data is encrypted and decrypted on the user's device at the record level, so the company cannot access what is stored in a vault.

Paid add-ons

BreachWatch dark web monitoring, Secure File Storage and a Concierge support service are sold separately on top of the personal plans.

Admin console and provisioning

Business plans include an admin console, enforced policies, team management and a security audit. Enterprise adds SAML single sign-on, SCIM and Active Directory sync.

ManageEngine Password Manager Pro

Secure password vault

Stores and shares privileged identities centrally, with ready-made templates for over 80 resource types such as operating systems and databases.

Request-release access

Admins can grant time-limited, need-based access to critical passwords through request and release workflows.

Password rotation

Resets passwords of servers, databases and network devices automatically and can run custom scripts afterward.

Remote sessions

Opens SSH, RDP and Telnet sessions from the browser without plugins, with video recording and auditing of the sessions.

Application-to-application passwords

Lets applications and scripts fetch credentials from the vault, so passwords need not be hard-coded.

Directory and SSO integration

Connects to Active Directory and LDAP; SAML 2.0 single sign-on is listed on the edition comparison.
