Best for	Small teams that can use the 10-member Starter Pack Mid-market and enterprise IT teams managing shared credentials and employee lifecycle Security teams requiring audit logs, credential-risk reporting, and SIEM feeds	Organizations standardizing on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace and wanting credential vaults to remain in that environment Security and IT teams needing policy, sharing, lifecycle, audit, recovery, SIEM, and managed deployment controls Regulated organizations prioritizing data sovereignty and avoiding a centralized password-manager vault repository
Not for	Organizations requiring a self-hosted or air-gapped password vault Buyers requiring a permanent free business plan Teams seeking PAM, SaaS spend management, device trust, or developer secrets management without separate product scope	Organizations wanting vendor-hosted centralized vault storage Buyers without a supported Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace organization environment Teams seeking PAM session recording, just-in-time elevation, or automated infrastructure-secret rotation

Key features	Granular shared vaults with 13 documented permissions Custom groups, delegated roles, policies, reports, and audit logs Automated user and group provisioning with major identity providers Unlock with SSO for managed workforce access Watchtower, Insights, breach alerts, password-health reporting, and team-usage visibility	Locally encrypted vaults stored in customer-controlled Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace Unlimited passwords, passkeys, files, business vaults, personal vaults, and shared vaults Organization and group policies for vaults, encryption, applications, autofill, audits, passkeys, and generation SCIM 2.0 provisioning, updates, group synchronization, deprovisioning, and automated offboarding Security Audit Dashboard for weak, identical, compromised, and policy-violating credentials
Cons	Public monthly rates require annual payment Starter additional-seat pricing and volume discounts are not public Self-hosting is not available for the target business password manager	Customer-controlled storage shifts important availability, retention, permission, and offboarding responsibilities to the organization's Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace configuration The public monthly-equivalent rate is billed yearly and taxes apply Security Audit freshness depends on user applications reporting their latest state

Security architecture	81The solution relies on a cloud deployment architecture supporting single sign-on unlocks, which excludes organizations with strict self-hosted or air-gapped environment requirements.	88Vaults are encrypted locally and stored in the customer’s Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant rather than on Enpass credential-vault servers, which directly supports customer-controlled custody and sovereignty goals.
Administration and governance	88Administrators govern the environment using custom roles, delegated policies, system audit logs, and controlled individual or bulk account recovery options.	83Administrators, groups, shared-vault oversight, organization policies, and designated Recovery Admins provide governance levers for access recovery and ongoing control when those features are enabled and assigned.
Credential sharing and lifecycle	88Credential lifecycles and external sharing are managed via granular vault permissions and guest accounts, with 5 guests included in the Starter pack and 20 in the Business plan.	80Credential lifecycle events and vault sharing are tracked via event logs, but sharing mechanics are bound to the limitations of the customer's underlying collaborative storage platform.
Identity and provisioning	90Automated provisioning integrations connect with major identity providers to automate user creation, group mapping, and suspension workflows.	85SCIM 2.0 provisioning, updates, group synchronization, deprovisioning, and SSO with compatible identity providers give a documented path to automate account lifecycle against the business directory.
Monitoring and compliance	89Watchtower, Insights, breach alerts, password-health reporting, audit logs, and Events API SIEM integrations cover credential-risk monitoring and export of sign-in, item-usage, and audit events.	80Event logs, policy history, Security Audit findings, and SIEM forwarding support monitoring and evidence collection, with the practical limit that reported credential status follows client reporting cadence.
Platform coverage and usability	90Platform coverage and usability are supported by apps for major desktop and mobile platforms, browser extensions, passkeys, CLI, and developer workflows, which broadens access across employee and technical use cases.	86Coverage spans Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, browser extensions, passkeys, autofill, SSO, and UEM or MDM deployment, which suits mixed endpoint estates under one business subscription.
Support and total cost	73Both plans include a 14-day free trial and Business includes personalized training and customer success for organizations with 101 or more users, while public rates require annual payment and Starter expansion plus volume pricing need confirmation.	75The Business Plan lists USD 1.99 per user per month billed yearly plus checkout taxes and a free trial, yet total cost also includes customer-supplied Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace and identity services, with large-enterprise terms handled separately through sales.
