Bitwarden or LockPass? Which should you choose for your business?

Bitwarden

Security and Sovereignty

AES 256 encryption

CSPN certified by ANSSI

100% European solution

USA 🇺🇸

Bitwarden is an American company subject to the Cloud Act, which means it cannot comply with European data sovereignty obligations.

Certified cloud (SecNumCloud/HDS)

No

Bitwarden's cloud environments are based exclusively on Microsoft Azure, with datacenters located in the United States and the European Union. These infrastructures are not SecNumCloud or HDS qualified by ANSSI.

On-Premises hosting

Open-Source

Yes

It's important to bear in mind the additional costs associated with open source, because of the support, maintenance, customization and management fees that are added to ensure secure operation.

Administration

Centralized user management

Granular access management

Limited

Bitwarden limits the number of possible sublevels in the management of sharing categories (called "collections").

Access monitoring and traceability

Customize password policies

Features

Personal and shared space

Auto-fill plugin

Integrated password generator

Integration and interoperability

Android & iOS mobile application

Identity provider synchronization

Limited

Native directory synchronization is limited by default to 2,000 users, with an additional checkbox required for larger deployments. In addition, Bitwarden's SSO does not directly synchronize user groups and their rights from the AD, leaving the possibility for users removed from the AD to continue logging in via their credentials.

2 / 5
Recurring negative reviews point to documentation that is sometimes too technical and unguided, and a complex learning experience for beginners or non-technical users.

Direct interaction with an expert

2 / 5
A number of former users mentioned that support was provided solely by email, involving long, non-personalized exchanges, with no concrete solutions to blocking incidents.
