## Reviews

### "The Ultimate Password Manager of All Times: Passbolt" — 5.0/5

> **Xiluva** | *06 November 2024* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Availability of self-hosted and fully-hosted makes it flexible when managing passwords in one place.&#10;It offers 2FA and and asymmetric end-to-end encryption to secure passwords for company accounts.
> 
> **Cons**: It’s been over 8 months but the only flaw on Passbolt is pricing which is a bit high compared to alternatives such as Zoho Vault.

-----

### "Open-source Password Manager of 2024" — 5.0/5

> **Tonie** | *11 November 2024* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Passbolt is full open-source which makes it super easy to customize without coding.&#10;In addition, it has collaboration capability which allows users to share passwords in one place.
> 
> **Cons**: Fully hosted enterprise tier is a bit expensive to upgrade compared to alternatives.
> 
> It is easy to share and manage passwords with teams in real-time.

-----

### "Every sign-in, Secure." — 5.0/5

> **Colin** | *16 September 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This software is so much more than a password manager. Offers security and productivity wrapped into one.
> 
> **Cons**: It is challenging to use on phone especially with the auto-fill option while signing in.
> 
> Manage access to every application and web account for every member. We can securely share passwords, secrets and more.

-----

### "Great on-premise password solution for offline cloud environments" — 5.0/5

> **Sam** | *20 January 2025* | Airlines/Aviation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Open source - incredibly important to me, I want full control over the security, as well as knowing how it's setup. As long as your setup provides depth security you will be fine - very easy to setup but would prefer more intuitive deployments.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes, especially with passwords, you want peace of mind - although with self hosted applications you want lots of backups - I wish this was easier, and had the ability to automate it to a number of locations knowing it will restore 100% of the time.
> 
> Overall, great - does what it needs to. More features than some competitors, and the self hosted nature makes it very good for my on-premise environments - definitely feel as if it's more secure than cloud/online based alternatives.

### "A nice password manager for teams" — 4.0/5

> **Sergio** | *26 February 2025* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - It's open source, which is always nice.&#10;- You can share passwords with specific users or groups.&#10;- The information is end-to-end encrypted.&#10;- You can use MFA with it.
> 
> **Cons**: - It's self-hosted, which could be a pro instead a con, but being self-hosted you have to handle updates and security patches.&#10;- Some of the configurations (specially the one which is needed to be done in Active Directory) is not very intuitive or simple.
> 
> Although we faced some problems during its deployment, the tool works fine once configured.
