| Bottom line | From its public pages, Bitwarden is the most complete package here for a 25-person company that needs SSO: the lowest price, public audits, open-source clients and a self-host option. SSO and policies sit on Enterprise rather than Teams. | From its public pages, Keeper lists the strongest certification set here and SSO at the lowest listed price, tied with Bitwarden. Its score reflects Enterprise being sold by quote and SIEM export sitting in an add-on. | From its public pages, LastPass Business is a straightforward self-serve buy for SSO, provisioning and SIEM export at $7 a user. Buyers will also weigh the 2022 incident, which LastPass documents on its own pages along with the changes it made. |
