> **Verified Reviewer** | *February 10, 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10

> 
> **Cons**: The organization of the information in the web app. Lacks an high-level view by team and individual which often compromises finding the right information fast. Occasionally the excessive validation of the user can hinder the experience (although understandable in a security point of view).
> 
> Compile and manage registrations/credentials among the entire company on the several services/tools. Passbold has complied to our requirements entirely.
