The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/password-managers ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Delinea Secret Server you would be making a password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 41 of the 49 other password managers grade higher. - You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
