Password Manager Evaluation Worksheet
A structured worksheet for comparing password manager vendors before a business-wide deployment decision.
How to Use This Worksheet
Score each candidate vendor 1–5 against the criteria below, using your actual required tier (business/enterprise), not the vendor's general marketing claims. See the Password Manager Guide for what each criterion means in practice.
Evaluation Criteria
- Centralized admin console (1-5)
- SSO / identity provider integration (1-5)
- Enforced MFA on the vault itself (1-5)
- Secure credential sharing (1-5)
- Breached-password / dark-web monitoring (1-5)
- Audit logging (1-5)
- Cross-platform and browser extension support (1-5)
- Emergency access / admin recovery process (1-5)
- Pricing at your required seat count and tier
- Support responsiveness during evaluation
Decision Notes
Record the deciding factors for the final selection, including any criterion that was a hard requirement rather than a nice-to-have. This record supports both the purchasing decision and any future audit question about vendor selection.
