Passwork Reviews

Summary: Passwork has become an essential tool in our daily operations. The combination of on-premises deployment, SSO integration, comprehensive audit logs, and an excellent browser extension provides a strong balance between security and usability. The platform makes credential management simple for both technical and non-technical users, which has enabled successful adoption across all departments, including support, sales, and administration. While automatic password expiration would be a valuable addition, we are very satisfied with the solution overall.

Positive: Passwork works very well for our organization because we can host it on-premises and integrate it with SSO. This allows us to align the platform with our own security architecture and access policies. The browser extension makes credential autofill extremely convenient and saves time throughout the day. Managing and sharing passwords between teams is straightforward, while access permissions are easy to control and audit. We also highly value the detailed activity logs available for every password, which provide visibility into who accessed or modified sensitive information. Adoption has been remarkably smooth across the company, from technical teams to sales and administrative staff, with very little training required.

Negative: The main feature we miss is the ability to enforce automatic password expiration policies. Having built-in password rotation and expiration rules would help organizations comply with internal security requirements more easily.

Summary: We’re very satisfied with Passwork. It makes managing a large number of website credentials much easier while allowing us to keep everything on our own infrastructure.

Positive: Easy to use, good password organization and permissions, and the ability to self-host. The browser extension is probably the feature we use the most, as we maintain more than a hundred websites and it makes accessing all those credentials very convenient.

Negative: Sometimes it can be slow and it will not find my credentials when using the browser extension

Summary: I was looking for a software to manage our organization passwork on premise. Passwork is a good solution for that to manage, organize and check the life cycle of our passwords

Positive: Self Hosted solution
Offline installation and updates
Good user and admin experience
Great password sharing options
Frequency of updates
Audit log of access and changes to password entries

Negative: A way to export audit logs
A way to export all the compromised password

Summary: We have been using Passwork for quite some time, and it has become an essential part of our daily work. It provides a secure and well-organized way to manage shared passwords, ensuring that our entire team has access to the credentials they need without compromising security.

One of the biggest advantages is its flexible permission structure. By assigning roles to individual users, we were able to build a clean and transparent access model, ensuring that employees only see the passwords relevant to their responsibilities.

A feature we particularly appreciate is the built-in TOTP authenticator. Being able to generate and store TOTP tokens directly in Passwork is extremely valuable, especially when multiple team members need to access the same account protected by two-factor authentication. It eliminates the dependency on a single person's mobile device and ensures that business processes continue smoothly, even during vacations or absences.

Overall, Passwork is an easy-to-use, reliable, and feature-rich password management solution that has significantly improved both our security and collaboration.

Positive: We have been using Passwork for quite some time, and it has become an essential part of our daily work. It provides a secure and well-organized way to manage shared passwords, ensuring that our entire team has access to the credentials they need without compromising security.

Negative: The SSL certification process wasn't that easy and the documentation wasn't that good while our implementation

Summary: Our small business wanted to migrate from KeePass to something with a native browser extension and was centrally managed. I evaluated trials of self-hosted Bitwarden, KeePass Hub, and Passwork. Passwork had the best overall experience and the best pricing. It was a great fit for our business.

Positive: Very good pricing and offers multi-year discounts
Good user and admin experience
Good documentation
Great password sharing options
Better password organization compared to Bitwarden (I hated Bitwarden's collection design)
Can be run air-gapped and self hosted
Zero-knowledge server encryption is optional
Supports SAML SSO and LDAP integration
Audit log of access and changes to password entries

Negative: Secrets management could be better. Each service account you create consumes a license and you can't scope permissions per API key. So if you want to utilize the API for secrets management, you have to choose between overly broad permissions or purchasing a lot of licenses for granular API access. The licenses are very affordable, but having an API key's permission scope cost the same as a human user feels bad.

Also with the API, Passwork only publishes a Python library and CLI tool for API interaction. The API is fully documented so you could build your own tool without a Python dependency if needed, but it would be nice to have a native Windows tool available.

Desktop client doesn't support auto-type. A feature I'll miss moving from KeePass.

Doesn't have much for built in reporting aside from the activity audit log and the security dashboard.

Summary: As an IT manager, I was looking for a secured, user-friendly password manager that would allow us to share passwords among user groups.

After testing several solutions, we chose Passwork because it best fulfilled our requirements at a reasonable cost.

The interface is intuitive, and the group-sharing feature works seamlessly.

On top of that, user support has been excellent and very responsive.

We evaluated a few alternatives, but Passwork ticked every requirement. Highly recommended app for anyone looking for a secured and simple Password management tool.

Negative: I find the pricing to be a little high. The UI is simple, but it can be a little more modern. The Mobile app can have some improvements too.

Positive: Ease of implementation
Intuitive use

Summary: We’ve been using Passwork as our business password manager and have had a very positive experience so far. The interface is clean and easy to use, onboarding the team was straightforward, and sharing credentials securely across departments works really well.

The self-hosted option and role-based access control are a big advantage for our business environment.

Positive: - Modern UI
- Fast
- TOTP
- Multiple language support
- Easy installation
- Multiple vaults and detailled rights management possible

Summary: The best credential management solution available on the market. It has resolved the issue of proper credential management within the company, allowing organisations to specify who can view certain credentials and who cannot. The integrated TOTP feature simplifies access to portals.

Positive: Integration with various browsers and the smartphone app are unbeatable advantages. The web interface is simple and intuitive. It was the solution that enabled us to comply with the requirements of the ISO 27001 standard.

Negative: I’ve been using it for several years now and, so far, I haven’t found anything I don’t like about it.

Summary: Secure and user-friendly. Password management is complicated enough for must users, that a simple and accessible solution is required to be able to onboard most of the employees.

Also Passwork supports APIs that replaces Vault-like solution, which are designed for automation rather than end users.

Positive: We needed a password manager that would include all company staff, with client-side encryption, and not only the technical staff.

Passwork was able to provide that with a very simple and accessible interface for everyone.

Moreover, the Passwork team provide fast-response support and improved the solution over time, adding the most needed features and performance improvements required to support very large companies/very high number of entries.

Negative: A few years ago Passwork missed some feature that other solution provided like multiple links per passwords or TOTP. But these feature as been added over time.

Summary: Overall, Passwork has significantly improved our organization's security posture. It strikes the perfect balance between robust security features and user-friendliness. The ability to securely share passwords across different departments without compromising our internal security policies is invaluable. It's a highly reliable tool that I would strongly recommend to any business looking to upgrade their password management system.

Positive: Passwork offers an incredibly intuitive interface that makes onboarding new team members a breeze. The self-hosted option provides peace of mind regarding data sovereignty, and the granular access controls allow us to manage permissions with precision. The integration with Active Directory is seamless and saves a lot of administrative time.

Negative: Setting up the self-hosted version requires some technical knowledge, though their documentation is quite helpful.

Summary: Passwork is a cost-effective solution that has allowed me to provide all my employees with access to an easy-to-use shared password management system. It allows for very specific access rights management, and most importantly, Passwork offers a self-hosted version that enables local server installation and AD integration. Definitely gets the thumbs up from me.

Positive: I love how Passwork can be accessed from any browser or platform (I tend to mix safari and Chrome). Not only that, but it’s really easy to set up; these guys have a fantastic support team who will guide you through the entire process. This was especially helpful for me as I’m not super tech savvy.

Negative: My only issue was that I would have preferred a feature-limited trial instead of the time-limited one that I received.

Summary: I was looking for a self-hosted LDAP-compatible software with a one time payment option. I found that all with Passwork.

Positive: It is easy and fast to use, while the price/performance is excellent. I love the way it looks and how easily I can use it to manage our passwords.

Negative: Moving multiple passwords between folders is a tedious process as they each have to be moved over individually

Summary: An excellent password manager with a clear and intuitive design, and at an affordable price!

Positive: Simplicity, security, price and prompt technical support.

Negative: None.
