Andrew P.: My name is Andrew. I'm a director of Family Ministries. I give 1Password five out of five. And for more reviews like this, click below. Before we used 1Password, we used LastPass, which worked until it didn't. LastPass was clunky in terms of the user interface, and it did not have the regular schedule updates and feature improvements that we came to rely on and really appreciate about 1Password. We chose 1Password for a number of reasons. One that was very important in our context is that it is platform neutral, works well for Windows, Mac, mobile device, on whatever platform. It also has a command line interface. So there was one member of my staff who really wanted to use that, and so that was available. One other important piece was the watch tower feature. It keeps track of the potential of compromised login information wandering around the web. And that was important for us to be able to know that, not only was our information secure in 1Password, but that 1Password was actively working to keep our information secure. Plus, it was really easy to use, and folks were excited to have something that looked and felt what you would like a security app to look and feel like. Getting 1Password deployed and users onboarded was really simple. It was really easy. The one small challenge we had was related to the browser extensions, and 1Password has made significant improvements in making sure that the browser extensions are easy to install and work seamlessly. So they've made good improvements on that front. And everything else, getting it set up, was very easy. If you're considering getting 1Password, you should just do it. Go ahead, make the switch. You'll be happy that you did. One small thing to keep in mind is that what kind of pricing your organization needs can depend on how many users that you are going to want to equip with this product. For smaller organizations, a family plan may work just fine, and you also might be able to take advantage of some occasional discounts. But in general, if you're thinking about getting 1Password, go get it.
