passbolt Reviews & Product Details

The best part of the passbolt is that we can save all our credentials on it and we can access it online via browser. Each password is encrypted which is totaly safe to keep your credentials away from all threats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing I dont like about passbolt is that I am not able to login the application on any other browser if I have logged on one browser. User will need to setup its passbolt again on other browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When looking for a password sharing solution in our environment, we came across Passbolt. After running a trial, we determined that this suited our needs well. Passbolt makes it easy to share passwords and other information either by user or by group. Setting up new users is also done with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While built on Linux, I feel that an OVA deployment would be a much simpler deployment solution for those getting started, especially those who may not be well versed in Linux deployments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Passbolt costs 0 dollars and can do what most of the basic paid solutions are capable of. You also receive peace of mind with an on-premise solution vs. a cloud solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although the developers continue to update the solution, it falls short with a few basic features. Account delegation, recovery, and creation could all be revamped. We have since moved on from Passbolt, but I do believe there were plenty of features on the roadmap that would have made the product substantially better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd definitely say that the biggest advantage that Passbolt has is the fact that it's open-source and has a solid free self-hosted version. Other than that, it has a handy Chrome extension and certainly brings a better level of security if your DevOps team is implementing it. It also has built-in anti-phishing features.

The web app and the browser extension feel too clunky. Several tasks are really hard to accomplish, even simpler things like editing the sharing options can be a pain. Also, I've had the browser extension's autofill feature fail too many times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Organizational groups. Password can be shared team-wise.

Members can be added/removed to those teams.

So a great tool to share passwords across the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Mozilla extension of passbolt resets quite a few times.

I have checked the settings, but every week I have to reset my password, my security keys just because the extension doesn't work the way its supposed to.

It isn't very pleasant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy of use and the Chrome extension. Great tool for teams as you can create groups of keys and add people to those groups. Easy to share between team members Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lacks a high-level view by team and individual which often compromises finding quickly the right information. The organization of the information in the web app. Occasionally the excessive validation of the user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had been looking for a web-based software or a web app capable of, supporting multi-user sharing and HTTPS access, storing and sharing passwords and credentials related to logins on sites, services, devices, mailboxes, and so on. With Passbolt, installed for free and configured in a few steps on an Ubuntu Linux 18.04 machine, I can optimally, professionally, and securely manage the credentials belonging to the users and teams of my company. It is really fast in storing, secure in login through the browser extension, and the auto-fill feature allows for automatic login, enabling me to have long passwords that are difficult to remember but safe to use.

A single user can be used by only one PC due to the Chrome and Firefox extension that authenticates the user and allows the session through OpenPGP. Unfortunately, I find it limiting to have to create multiple users belonging to the same person in order to support the use of Passbolt and the viewing of passwords from multiple devices (e.g., laptop and desktop PC or laptop and smartphone).

It is very easy to use and simple but still does the job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the search feature does not function properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to setup and quite easy to use also for non technical people. The setup took only a few minutes while the first login attempt was a little more complicated but once understood I was able to put down an easy to use step by step guide for my colleagues who were then able to use it immediately.

The first login process is a little too complicated to understand at first glance. Once understood how it works it was then easy to replicate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can run it on our own server and don't rely on critical information being "somewhere in the cloud". Apart from that it's easier to use then having, for example, a shared KeePass file that everyone has access to on a mapped drive. Together with the browser-addon and it's auto-fill in the latest version it's just a convenient way for us to store credentials and share them with the colleagues that need them.

It does one job and it does it well! Being not only open source but also audited for security is an added bonus because it makes sure the code is actually what it claims to be and not some hidden magic-box that you have to trust blindly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it's fine that enterprise features like AD-Integration etc are only available in the non-free version some smaller QoL stuff could really get unlocked in the community edition, mainly the option to use either folders or tags to organize credentials because no matter the size of the team, once you use a password manager daily it fills up quickly and a better way to organize / filter them than the included search is needed.
