## Overview

ManageEngine Password Manager Pro, from Zoho Corp's ManageEngine division, is a self-hosted enterprise vault for shared and privileged account passwords. Its lineage dates to 2002, and it sits between a [password manager](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/password-management/) and a privileged access platform.

## What it is good at

Privileged and shared-account vaulting, strong auditing, and self-hosted deployment are the core strengths for IT teams. It handles password rotation, access workflows, and detailed audit trails that bridge toward light PAM, and the self-hosted model gives organizations full control of sensitive shared credentials on their own infrastructure. It also brokers remote sessions, records them for audit, and integrates with ticketing and SIEM tools, which is why many IT shops adopt it as a stepping stone toward full PAM.

## Where it falls short

It is admin and IT oriented rather than a personal manager, and the UX is utilitarian. Licensing is quote-based rather than transparent, it is self-hosted only with no SaaS, and it is not a full enterprise PAM for organizations that need the broadest session and secrets capabilities.

## Pricing

Quote-based licensing, tiered by features and scale. Model your scenario with the [TCO calculator](https://startwithidentity.com/tools/tco-calculator/).

## Best for, and who should look elsewhere

Choose ManageEngine Password Manager Pro when an IT team needs self-hosted shared and privileged password management with strong audit. For a simpler team vault see [Bitwarden](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/password-management/bitwarden/); for credential-plus-remote-access see [Devolutions](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/password-management/devolutions/); for a Zoho-aligned business vault see [Zoho Vault](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/password-management/zoho-vault/).

## Bottom line

A self-hosted choice for enterprise shared and privileged password management with strong auditing.
