ManageEngine Password Manager Pro review
A feature-rich privileged-password manager with a limited free edition and costly paid tiers.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is an on-premises password manager for IT and security teams handling privileged credentials. It centralizes administrative, service-account, certificate, secret, and SSH-key access, with secure sharing, permission controls, request-release workflows, and time-limited access. Web, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, and Chrome browser extension support give teams several access options, while SAML single sign-on and two-factor authentication address account access controls.
Pricing is structured around administrators rather than users. The Free Edition covers 1 administrator and up to 10 resources. Standard Edition — Subscription costs $595 annually per 2 administrators, Premium Edition — Subscription costs $1,395 annually per 5 administrators, and Enterprise Edition — Subscription costs $3,995 annually per 10 administrators; each has no limit on users and resources. Perpetual plans cost $1,495 for Standard, $3,595 for Premium, and $10,195 for Enterprise as one-time licenses, with annual maintenance and support from the second year. A 30-day free trial is also available. Teams should compare administrator-based pricing with their access-management needs before choosing a paid tier.
Its standout area is privileged-access control rather than general personal password storage. Automated password resets and rotation, approval workflows, remote SSH, RDP, and Telnet sessions, session recording, audit trails, notifications, and compliance reports create a focused set of controls for shared administrative access. Integrations with Active Directory, Azure AD, LDAP, Okta, ADFS, G Suite, ServiceDesk Plus, ServiceNow, JIRA, Jenkins, Ansible, Chef, Puppet, and ManageEngine MDM support common identity, service-management, and automation environments. Choose it when centralized privileged-password operations and auditing are priorities; teams wanting a hosted-first password manager or a small free deployment should look elsewhere.
