Permite el acceso a la información desde distintos entornos de trabajo. Cons Algunas funcionalidades avanzadas o integraciones podrían ampliarse para ofrecer mayor flexibilidad en entornos más grandes o con necesidades más complejas. También sería útil mejorar algunos aspectos de navegación y búsqueda cuando se administran grandes volúmenes de credenciales.

By making password sharing easy, our users preferred this over traditional methods, allowing us to have quick adoption Pros Passwork is a great password management software which allowed us to centralize the management of credentials by leveraging on-premise installation. The value for this software is very high as it allows multiple points of access to our teams across devices Cons The documentation for managing the service on premise is not perfect. We had to troubleshoot some upgrade procedures with the help of support. Alternatives considered [Passbolt](https://www.capterra.com/p/158063/passbolt/) Reason for choosing Passwork Feature set was more complete on passwork Review Source MW Martin W. Sysadmin Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Passwork review with local LDAP" January 9, 2026 5.0 Generally it has been very pleasant and easy. The most problem we had was with the login, particularly with the fact that Passwork does not support LDAP email login (it cant use the email AD Attribute). Once a user was logged in, there were almost never problems with the usage, whether it be creating, reading, sharing, searching, deleting password etc. Pros Self-hosted Attractive user interface Familiar user interface (like Windows Explorer) Perpetual User Licenses Not too overwhelming Security Easy updates Easy to use search functionality Cons Limited LDAP login options Non-descriptive login error-messages the browser plugin sometimes needs new Authentication which confuses end-users Login problems with LDAP Review Source Response from Passwork March 17, 2026 Thank you for the detailed review! Great to hear your team finds Passwork easy to use. Your feedback on LDAP login options, error messages, and browser extension re-authentication is noted — these are on our radar for improvement. Feel free to reach out to our support team if you need any assistance. Thank you again for your review! MS Marco S. System Administrator Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very clear and easy to use password manager for SME" July 15, 2025 5.0 The Support Team is very helpful and when we noticed some features missing after the upgrade from version 6 to 7, the Passwork Team quickly re-implemented these features. Initial setup went smooth, too. The web interface is very clear and self-explanatory, so I hardly received any questions from users. Pros The web interface shows Name, Login, URL and Tags for each entry of the password list, which makes it easy to find the correct password. A Self-Hosting Option via Docker is available and works very well. Cons Initially I missed the possibility to choose from a list of tags, when adding tags to a password. That got resolved in Passwork 7. Now you can pick a tag from a list which helps to reduce the number of similar tags. Alternatives considered [Bitwarden](https://www.capterra.com/p/210695/Bitwarden/) Reason for choosing Passwork The Bitwarden interface didn't fit our needs. We prefer the way Passwork shows more information about each password entry in a list. Review Source Response from Passwork July 16, 2025 Thank you for your positive review and for your feedback about our Support team! We are pleased to hear that Passwork meets your needs and appreciate your support in helping us make it even better. MS Michael S. Chief Digital Officer Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Strong Password Manager for Teams" July 29, 2025 4.0 Our overall experience with Passwork has been very positive. It provides a reliable, secure way to store and share passwords within our team. We particularly value the self-hosted deployment option, which allows us to maintain full control over our data. Daily use is straightforward, and the tool performs consistently well. Although permission management and mobile usability have some room for improvement, Passwork’s strong core features and focus on security outweigh these minor limitations. Pros The UI is clean, logically structured, and easy to use—even for non-technical team members. Access control and role management are highly granular, enabling precise permissions and security policies. Cons One-Time Passwords (TOTP) are stored in the same record as the main password, which is a significant security risk. In the event of a breach, an attacker would gain access to both the login credentials and the second factor. This undermines the purpose of 2FA and makes the system more vulnerable. Review Source Response from Passwork August 1, 2025 Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting both the strengths and the areas where Passwork can improve. We’ve submitted a feature request to our development team to address your concerns. Additionally, we’re working on a new mobile app — in this upcoming release, we plan to include enhanced options for managing TOTP. Thank you again for your insights! TY Tolunay Y. Wirtschaftsinformatiker Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Tool to improve Collaboration and increase the security of the company" March 21, 2025 4.0 Overall, it's been a great help so far. Passwords have been easier to manage and share. Access is simple, and employees enjoy using the software. From an IT perspective, installation was also straightforward, and updates are also easy to install. Pros It is very simple to use and we get this feedback from the most of our employees. It also increases the Security of the company, collaboration in our teams and supports the employees a lot in the daily work. Cons The integration in other Applications. Similar Products can do it a little better with an Application installed on the device.

Plus, the price was much more attractive in the long run. Review Source AW Anders W. Infrastructure Architect Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Got the key features we need" October 8, 2025 5.0 Pros Password Management with role based vaults and private vaults, ease of use for the endusers, user management via LDAP and SAMLv2 and a usable API was the key features for us when deciding on a web-based password vault solution. Cons Results from the search function in the webgui is a bit strange at times but we'v learned to live with it, other than that we have no issues. Alternatives considered [KeePass](https://www.capterra.com/p/151987/KeePass/)[Bitwarden](https://www.capterra.com/p/210695/Bitwarden/) Reason for choosing Passwork At the time we missed some key features in other products.

IT Manager Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Effortless Password Management Experience" November 20, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Passwork has been very positive. The platform is straightforward to work with, the setup was smooth. Features like the self-hosted solution, SSO support, and flexible permission management make it easy to integrate into our workflow. Pros Very easy to use, have a self-hosted solution and SSO integration and the implementation was very easy, Permission management is highly dynamic and convenient. Cons I don’t really have something I didn’t like, Passwork works for me and does what I need. I didn’t find any real problems so far Review Source Response from Passwork March 17, 2026 Thank you for the feedback! We're delighted to hear that the setup was smooth and that SSO integration and permission management have been working so well for you. Reviews like yours mean a lot to us! CJ Craig J. Supervisor of Systems Administration Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Just an effective password manager that gets the job done without getting in the way" March 28, 2025 5.0 Before Passwork, we were using a decentralized password manager that required an installation onto each local PC. Realizing how cumbersome this was, we sought a solution that was centrally managed and provided appropriate RBAC controls. We ended up comparing Passwork and PassBolt. Although similar, Passwork came out ahead due to its capability to have a separate admin account that was not required to be tied to any one user. We have been extremely satisfied with Passwork and continue to be. We always anticipate updates and releases because we know they will bring quality changes. Pros \- Self-hosted option that's non-Docker/containerized - Easy updates - Clean interface - Helpful and responsive support - Competitive pricing Cons Although not important to me, some of my coworkers have indicated that the browser extension needs improvement. If I remember correctly, things like site detection and filling in fields. Alternatives considered [Passbolt](https://www.capterra.com/p/158063/passbolt/) Reason for choosing Passwork Capability for separate admin account that was not tied to any one user Review Source VA Viktors A. Devops engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Passwork review" August 1, 2025 5.0 We have been using this system for a year and now we renewed licence for another year. It has helped us to keep our passwords centralised and secure. Pros It perfectly fits our companies needs, it has LDAP integration, shared and private password vaults and easy user management. System is very easy to use with fast learning curve and great value for money. Cons Does not have built in auto update. Security dashboard audit results does not show for vaults or password. Alternatives considered [KeePass](https://www.capterra.com/p/151987/KeePass/) Reason for choosing Passwork More features and easier to manage, more modern. Switched from [Passbolt](https://www.capterra.com/p/158063/passbolt/) Lack of LDAP and other features. UI not user friendly. Review Source Response from Passwork August 5, 2025 Thank you for your positive review! We’ve shared your feedback about built-in auto updates and a more detailed security dashboard with our development and product teams — some of these features are already in development, others are on our roadmap. We’ll keep working to improve these areas. Thank you again for helping us make Passwork better! NJ Nemanja J. System Administrator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple low-cost alternative for smaller businesses " February 24, 2025 5.0 Overwhelmingly positive and user-friendly, especially after everything is setup. Pros It is functional and light, easy to use, with capability to retain full control over your data via deployment of self-hosted version. It is also relatively cheap for a business-use perspective, perfect for smaller to medium-size companies. Cons Installation of self-hosted version can get a bit tricky if you're not well versed in Linux and DB management. UI could be a little bit more polished and allow for more customization. However, nothing that would impact the overall value and use capabilities of the software. Alternatives considered [NordPass Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/203254/NordPass/)[IT Glue](https://www.capterra.com/p/170401/ITGlue/)[Passbolt](https://www.capterra.com/p/158063/passbolt/) Reason for choosing Passwork Self-hosting options was crucial for us, as well as low-cost compared to competitors. Switched from [KeePass](https://www.capterra.com/p/151987/KeePass/) It was outdated and couldn't be easily used for an enterprise/business needs, leaving many things to be desired.

Professional organisation, with personal attention.. Pros The solution is secure build and has the option for an offline installation. You can setup in private cloud of onpremmise enviroment. Cons For each user there always is an personal password database avalable. With this you cant force users to only use the company database. Review Source Response from Passwork July 9, 2025 Thank you for your feedback! Regarding personal password databases. Currently, you can restrict the creation of new vaults through Role settings and limit user access to specific folders. We recognize that there is room for improvement in this area. We are actively developing a new feature (vault types) which will provide more granular control over database access. This update is a priority on our roadmap and will be available soon. Thank you again for helping us make Passwork better! JB Julian B. Leitung IT Government Administration Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Secure, Self-Hosted, and Cost-Effective" February 19, 2025 4.0 Passwork is an excellent password manager, especially for those who value control, security, and a straightforward licensing model. The ability to host it on your own infrastructure is a huge advantage, ensuring complete data privacy without relying on third-party servers. One of the standout aspects is the lifetime licensing option, which provides great long-term value compared to recurring subscription-based alternatives. While it lacks some convenience features like a desktop app and mobile autofill, its robust self-hosted capabilities, intuitive interface, and team-friendly features make it a fantastic choice for businesses and individuals looking for a secure and flexible password management solution. Pros Passwork offers a flexible licensing model that puts you in control of your password management. I especially appreciate the option to host it on my own infrastructure, ensuring data privacy and security without relying on third-party servers. With its straightforward licensing and self-hosted capabilities, it’s an excellent choice for teams and businesses. Cons The biggest downside of Passwork is the lack of certain convenience features found in other password managers. A dedicated desktop app, mobile autofill, and some additional ease-of-use functionalities are missing, which could improve the overall user experience. Alternatives considered [1Password](https://www.capterra.com/p/176113/1Password/) Reason for choosing Passwork Flexible licensing and self-hosted infrastructure. Review Source MP Michael P.

We don't lose any time when onboarding new employees or freelancers, which makes working with Passwork very effective. Pros The well-structured user interface and simple configuration of access authorisations for our employees. Cons I don't miss any functions and Passwork does what it should. Therefore, I can't write anything here that would improve the software. Switched from [Password Safe](https://www.capterra.com/p/183456/Password-Safe/) We needed comprehensive user management with groups and individual authorisations. Review Source AK Abdallah K.

Works well for both non-technical users and admins. Pros Intuitive interface and streamlined onboarding make it accessible, even for less technical users. It’s especially suitable for teams needing centralized password control. Cons Search can fail to surface entries even with correct keywords leading to frustration when you can’t locate a credential you know exists.

I’ve used LassPass Business Manager for years and found it lacking in features and support. Pros The ability to keep our sensitive password database on our own hardware, in-house. Cons Initial setup for us was a bit tricky and convoluted. This may of been resolved in more recent versions of documentation. Alternatives considered [Bitwarden](https://www.capterra.com/p/210695/Bitwarden/) Reason for choosing Passwork Passworks suited our needs better and their team was a lot more reactive when approached. Switched from [LastPass](https://www.capterra.com/p/151988/LastPass/) The ability to self host our database on our own hardware was a dealbreaker. Review Source MR Marius R. Leitung IT Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple but powerfull team password manager" May 30, 2025 4.0 Quick to setup and userfriendly for the enduser which helps getting everyone aboard. No more missing password if one emploee is out of the office. Pros \* Easy to setup \* Does what I expect from a team password manager, without any wired restrictions \* LDAP and SAML integration for user/permission management \* Rest API to manage vaults, users, and permissions, etc. Cons Priot to Passwork 7 the API was not powerfull enough to automate everything. Which lead to some manual work for onboarding new projects. Switched from [Bitwarden](https://www.capterra.com/p/210695/Bitwarden/) Was to complicated to setup and maintain. Review Source JH Joe H.

Passwork was recommended to us by our parent company and I think the flexibility of the platform is great. Offboarding staff is now easy. Pros Ease of sharing, especially the one-time expiring links. The personal vaults are useful too. Cons Personally I find the sharing with folders with roles a little clunky, it takes me a little time to remind myself of the process each time.

Wir arbeiten täglich damit. Wir würden es jederzeit weiterempfehlen. Pros Die einfache und intuitive Bedienung ist super. Die Suchfunktion funktioniert wie sie soll, das ist leider bei manch anderen Herstellern nicht der Fall. Cons Das ständige ausloggen aus der Smartphone App, ohne vorherige Ankündigung. Jedes mal wenn man Passworks mal kurz über das Smartphon öffnen will, um was zu checken, stellt man dann fest, das man es neu anbinden muss. Switched from [Password Depot](https://www.capterra.com/p/183535/Password-Depot/) Suche funktioniert nicht wie sie soll. Bedienung nicht so schön.

Information Security Officer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Passwork Pro - Great Job, Exceptional Product" June 10, 2025 5.0 Pros Excellent functionality at a reasonable cost. We received all the features we needed including SSO, API, an understandable client-side encryption mechanism, great support during the PoC and onboarding, and very responsive managers who helped quickly and flexibly resolve all organizational issues. Cons Some specific features that would enhance usability in our particular scenarios are being implemented rather slowly. Obviously, there are still many basic features in the high-priority backlog, and the product is actively developing in that direction, but for teams with less enterprise-focused and more specific requirements, this might not be very convenient for non-enterprise customers in specific cases. However, for me, the existing advantages totally outweigh the disadvantages.

CTO Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good solution for businesses and workgroups with on premise storage and AD/ LDAP integration" February 12, 2025 5.0 I was looking for an on premise solution to store and manage our passwords. Multiuser with different roles and rights was a must, LDAP integration a nice add on. Passwork ticked all the boxes. They were realy helpful in the testing phase (demo license and expanded it to do some more tests) and ultimately helped with the integration of our AD user lsit (was a bit tricky to setup but works flawless ever since). Performance is very good and the best thing is the near zero enduser problems - its so intuitive, that none of the 30 users had any further questions after first introducing the software. We're using the browser plugin and secure the access to the actual frontend with a certificate - works really well. Pros On premise solution Good LDAP Integration - User creation fast and easy Group/ role management is easy Intuitive user interface, nearly no enduser support necessary Quick reply from helpdesk and good documentation Cons Mobile device/ App integration could be better Alternatives considered [Bitwarden](https://www.capterra.com/p/210695/Bitwarden/)[Passbolt](https://www.capterra.com/p/158063/passbolt/) Reason for choosing Passwork Better feature set, best price point, developed in Europe Review Source MP Michael P.
