Easy to share credentials with the other team member with full of security. It provider high grade and end to end encryption that protects our password from hacks. Open source solution that makes this awesome. > > **Cons**: No cons for me. I am happy with the functionality that it offers. ----- ### "A complete and worthwhile password manager" — 5.0/5 > **Diego** | *19 July 2024* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like your workflow, making sure that the passwords are secure by keeping them encrypted until the end and only decrypting them on the client. Also its integrations and features that make it easy to use and are quick to configure using its guides. It's definitely worth using it even if you don't pay for the subscription and use the free version > > **Cons**: If I had to look for a catch, perhaps it would be not being able to share passwords with other users of other servers or that you need to have an internet connection to access. But to be honest, these are problems that all password managers have and without internet you probably don't even need to access the sites so I wouldn't know how to look for something bad since I love it > > I am very happy with Passbolt for its ease of configuration and use. In addition, the team is very friendly and in the community forum they listen to suggestions to add to the platform and help you if you have any problems. It is not an airtight system of which you know nothing about the equipment or how it is made, since it is open source and you can contact the team or the community for any problem ----- ### "Corporate password manager that could be better" — 4.0/5 > **Piotr** | *2 November 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The straightforwardness of the app.Ease of use.Effective credentials and group management and sharing.Low pricing. > > **Cons**: Does not support cards, addresses, notes, etc.Sometimes it feels too simple (especially browser extensions). > > I am using Passbolt for almost a year and I have to admit it is a solid solution for sharing access data across users. The whole system is reliable, intuitive, and easy to use. Passwords may be shared by groups (teams, job types, departments, etc.) or individually and either way is customizable. Additionally, pricing is pretty low for such an application.However, the biggest disadvantage is the lack of cards, notes, addresses, pins, etc. support. Only password credentials can be stored in Passbolt. Adding such a feature would be a great improvement to the app. In addition, everything is simple (which can be a plus), sometimes resulting in an unpleasant feeling of cheapness and poor quality. All in all, Passbolt is a reliable piece of code aimed at business customers. At a relatively low price, it fulfills its purpose - secure password sharing. Adding more functionality (which is often already available from competitors) would make it more competitive and could now be an important step in development. I recommend the Passbolt if you have limited funds and don't need the more complex functions. ----- ### "Passbolt, another way to circle around about passwords managers onboarding gap's" — 4.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *16 September 2024* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The full feature set available, including TOPs and Teams management for free, a game changer for us. > > **Cons**: Some part of the admin center could be more using friendly, needing less clicks to manage actions, like groups membership and linking users to groups. > > Passbolt is relatively new for us, but the way it can act both proactively and prompt free help us satisfying all users needs, from advanced to low it background one's, and help us avoid rejection on password manager use. ----- ### "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.
