LastPass is a password management application to simplify access to enterprise applications for users but also increase centrality and ease of management of access for administrators with task automation, convenient and secure password sharing, and other features.
Dashlane Password Manager works really well for situations where we need to share access to client portals or government filing sites, since multiple people can log in without ever seeing the actual password and we can cut off access right away when it’s no longer needed. It is also great for onboarding and offboarding since new hires or interns can get the logins they need quickly and we don’t have to pass around spreadsheets. Another strong use case is meeting compliance expectations because it shows clients we are serious about security and password hygiene. Where it’s less useful is in environments that already use single sign-on since that already centralizes access and makes Dashlane Password Manager feel redundant. It can also be a little frustrating if you rely heavily on mobile since the autofill doesn’t always work smoothly across different apps.
I consider the tool very effective for generating and managing strong. Very useful tool where secure sharing of credentials is necessary. You can create passowrd on your own (automatically from the tool or self created). Not so user friendly usage of the password management when using the apple app but this is just personal feedback.
Autofill - it auto-fills your account details (and payment cards) with just one click. Incredible timesaver.
Password Generator - it creates unique and secure passwords automagically, one less thing to worry about.
Secure Notes - it has a place to store secure notes, like insurance policies, bank accounts, driver's license numbers/images, wi-fi passwords, database/servers, software licenses, etc.
Payment Cards - great for adding credit cards, personal and business, that you can use to fill in for online/mobile shopping. It's easily one of the best features!
LastPass has been a game changer for me. I keep more than 100 passwords for financial sites for my company and many of those sites will automatically log you out if you've been idle for 10 or 15 minutes. Typing and re-typing credentials is not only extremely inefficient, but it also adds the risk that you could type them incorrectly and have your account locked. LastPass fills in all my credentials automatically and helps me to generate secure passwords for new sites. I will always want this software on my machine because it makes my life so much easier.
Dashlane Password Manager is great for the price. Some feature sets of competitors are lacking, but I'm happy with what we get for the spend. We are a small enough company that I can walk people through the steps, and it isn't something that comes up enough to complain about. Password generation, storage and use are all great.
I login to LastPass when I turn on my computer in the morning and I use it throughout the day. I cannot express how much easier, quicker, smoother (running out of adjectives) this is than our old Excel spreadsheet. I don't bookmark pages anymore, I put them in last pass as all I have to do is search for the site name, press launch and because I have auto signin for most of the sites, I'm in and doing my business in seconds. Truly a blessing!
We've had no issues with Dashlane. I can't speak to their customer service because I have not personally needed to contact them. I guess that speaks about their product if we've not had any issues to reach out about. Great for supporting data/information on multiple platforms that are shared among team members.
Haven't had to directly contact support all that much (at least not me personally, I don't know that anyone else on the team has needed to) but the Help Desk options/resources and documentation available are enough to answer any questions, although for what it's worth, the contact support options are not hard to find, and aren't hidden like some sites have it. Additionally, free new user training is offered for those who want it.
Educating users on password management and the basics of the solution is key to then have them successfully start using it themselves. Many have taken it further and now use it for personal passwords as well.
I use Proton Pass in my personal life as part of the Proton suite of products, and it's a fantastic, lightweight, and robust service. I personally prefer supporting a solid, privacy, freedom focused company with my personal money, but as far as comparing goes, I'd say Dashlane wins the intuitive interface battle with ProtonPass (not that it's terrible), but ProtonPass wins for listening to customers and developing a dedicated desktop application. As for the comparison with LastPass, I think LastPass might nudge out Dashlane for the intuitive score, but they are practically both at the same level in every way. I'd be happy to use either one
Since there is not a master password option for the Google Chrome passwords being saved, I do not feel as though it is as save to use. With LastPass, I can always log out of my browser login, but still continue to work in my browser without having to lot out of my Google account.
Access levels and the organization features in LastPass are so flexible that you can set up your structure to work for virtually any scenario. You can also prevent employees from being able to see the actual credentials, which is huge for security, especially in large companies.
LastPass has been a great help with productivity and peace of mind in that we can use it to access the computers of people who are away without worrying about password security and we can do the work required without waiting for people to return.
