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. - **Value for money: C.** No price is published and licensing depends on edition and administrator count, so it sits in the middle by default. - **Free plan and trial: C.** 30-day trial of Enterprise with two administrators. The listing gives no card detail, and no free plan. - **Features: C.** Vault, request-release, rotation, remote sessions and application passwords. Session recording and several automation features are in the higher editions only. - **Ease of use: D.** It runs on your own servers, so you install and configure it before anyone can use it. No store rating on record. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android and an extension, with Active Directory, LDAP, SAML and Okta. There is no Mac program in the list.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/password-managers ## Keep it, 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. - 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: Apps for Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Active Directory, LDAP and SAML 2.0 among them, and has an API. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
