This along with showing the user longer or no expiration time options they can choose to use based on password length if the admin sets them up is great. > > **Cons**: The GPO settings when we first installed were a tad confusing and we ended up with users initially seeing extra icons for one of their other services we did not own. Finally figured out this was a policy in the same set of GPO's. I wish they had separate policies for each app rather than tossing them all in one and forcing me to disable items I don't buy. > > Overall, very pleased other than the initial quirks with setup and their support was very responsive at the time. This was done before the Outpost 24 acquisition, so I hope it remains just as good. Once it is installed it is almost entirely hands off. Our users like the feedback and ability to set never expire passwords if they are long enough and not on a breach list. ----- ### "A solid improvement to our password enforcement" — 5.0/5 > **Kris** | *29 August 2024* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to allow a dynamic range of expiration dates based on the complexity of the password. > > **Cons**: You cannot set a list of banned words for pass phrases, only passwords. > > The setup was easy, and our users are very happy with the experience Specops provides when setting a new password. We feel the value it provides is well worth the cost. ----- ### "Great product and very easy to setup" — 5.0/5 > **Raza** | *07 January 2020* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: How easy it was to setup and user live the ability to rest their password and not have to bug us for it > > **Cons**: I haven’t had any issues but support team can use a boost as to how easy it is to get In Touch with then > > This product is great and it was very easy to setup and both user and admin live it as it makes the password reset request a chinch and I’m quite happy with it ----- ### "Specops Password Policy has improved our Password security immeasurably." — 5.0/5 > **Marc** | *28 June 2022* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: When I started at Parkinson's UK there was a real issue with users selecting easy-to-guess passwords. SpecOps password policy gave us an easy way to fix this by allowing us to create length-based password ageing policies and custom password blacklists. At the time, there was very little else on the market that could do this. > > **Cons**: There's not really much to dislike, to be honest. It's fairly simple. > > The product has been really good. The support we receive is first glass and any issues are dealt with promptly. ----- ### "SpecOps Review" — 4.0/5 > **anthony** | *01 July 2022* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The product interface is very easy to use. The functions are logically grouped. The wizard like interface makes setting policies simple. The checking of breeched passwords is a very important feature. > > **Cons**: The help is inadequate. I'd like a much fuller explanation of the features and how to use them. > > We wanted a password management system that was more flexible than the built in AD password features. SpecOps has provided that flexibility. Also the breech password checking and reporting is a great feature and the main reason we brought the product ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/102549/specops-password-policy?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/102549/specops-password-policy) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
