An excellent tool for password management

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

<div>We provide all of our employees with a Dashlane account during on-boarding and encourage them to set up all of their credentials using Dashlane. This has streamlined our on-boarding of new employees dramatically. </div><div>

</div><div>It has cut down on our IT support time. Previously, we were resetting passwords daily for users that had forgotten passwords. </div><div>

</div><div>It has improved our security as it encourages our employees not to reuse the same password on multiple tools and lets them know when they have used duplicate passwords and gives them an easy way to generate and save secure passwords to replace the duplicates. </div><div>

</div><div>We use Dashlane to share all shared account access passwords securely. As an added benefit, when a system requires that one of these passwords be changed, everyone receives the new password automatically and never have to even think about it.</div><div>

Dashlane is absolutely one of the best No doubt about it

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Dashlane is used with the majority of our employees to store and manage secure password vaults. Though it is not currently mandatory, we are considering it because of the effectiveness, convenience, and security Dashlane offers. Many of our employees that have embraced Dashlane have discovered how lifechanging it really is! They have found that they can focus more on their productivity, rather than constantly resetting all their frequently forgotten passwords across multiple platforms. Dashlane also helps secure our firm assets by promoting healthy password security and offers the IT Admin tools to monitor and push our users to strengthen password habits through the Security section of the Admin Dashboard.

Pros

  • Reliable autofill on most websites
  • Robust features in both the Admin and personal user sense
  • Multiple convenient options for unlocking that don't require retyping the master pass on a regularly used and trusted device
  • Extensive customization options in both the Admin panel and user settings

Cons

  • I would like to see a dedicated desktop application that doesn't go through the browser. Some less tech savvy users struggle to remember Dashlane lives only in an extension.
  • Dashlane gets very weird when handling employees that have returned after being deactivated, especially if the user doesn't recall what their master pass used to be. I would love to see more robust options for IT Admin to force account recovery so that returning employees don't have to start from scratch. This has happened to us 3 times since we've had Dashlane.
  • Dashlane feels a little pricey compared to some other competitors.

Return on Investment

  • Our cybersecurity posture has drastically been improved since the adoption of Dashlane. Cybersecurity insurance looks very favorably on those that utilize password managers
  • Hundreds of hours of IT Admin time has been saved by not needing to reset passwords nearly as much at the user level.
  • User productivity is substantially improved when time is spent working and not resetting passwords over and over.

Dashlane may have a few flaws but gets the job done

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Dashane is an important part of my business. It has key

features that allow me and my development team share access to password protected resources without sharing the password itself with users. users can use Dashane to fill and login to a resource but does not necessarily show them the password. This maintains a level of security that is important to me.

We also use the secure notes feature. This allows us to securely transfer information between users that are not necessarily passwords.

We like that it comes with VPN access for users, that it lets you categorize the different types of passwords into Business and Personal groups, etc.

Pros

  • Generate passwords following rules
  • Secure Notes
  • Secure Password Sharing
  • VPN Access

Cons

  • Search is lacking. The desktop app had better features
  • I can no longer find needed features. Such as the option to only use a password on a specific subdomain. this is important because I have hundreds of subdomains for testing client software builds before releasing to their domain.
  • The Mobile app and Browser Extension are not synced. I have several Secure Notes and Passwords that I cannot find anywhere in my mobile app, but can find without issues in the extension.

Return on Investment

  • We develop software and would build this for ourselves, but it saves us the cost of doing so.
  • It has access to a VPN which is useful in some specific use cases for unusual client needs.
  • It ensures my team can share passwords securely, invisibly, and quickly for situations that require it.
