Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 2 of the 49 other password managers we grade
Password Manager Pro is an on-premises password vault for IT teams, installed on Windows or Linux servers. It stores shared and privileged credentials, resets them on a schedule, and launches recorded SSH, RDP and Telnet sessions from the browser. Pricing follows edition and administrator count and is quoted.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about ManageEngine Password Manager Pro, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No prices are published, session recording and some automation sit in higher editions, and a cloud version means switching to Zoho Vault.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- IT admins who must keep a credential vault on their own servers
- Teams that rotate server and database passwords automatically

Worth knowing

- 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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
