Best for an on-premises vault for IT admins
Password Manager Pro is an on-premises vault for IT teams, with request-and-release access, rotation and directory sign-in. No prices are published, session recording and some automation sit in higher editions, and a cloud version means switching to Zoho Vault.
Who ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is for
- Fits if your IT team must keep its credential vault on its own servers
- Works for companies already running other ManageEngine products
Who ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is not for
- 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

Keep ManageEngine Password Manager Pro, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace ManageEngine Password Manager Pro 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.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves.
- Apps for Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It plugs into other products, Active Directory, LDAP and SAML 2.0 among them, and has an API.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
What this rests on. ManageEngine Password Manager Pro’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
