BITWARDEN VS DASHLANE
BITWARDEN VS DASHLANE
Survey after survey, Bitwarden outperforms Dashlane as the password manager to beat for feature quality, top-tier support, and overall score from implementation to user experience.
A comprehensive Info-Tech Research Group survey found Bitwarden outperforms Dashlane across major enterprise categories.
Bitwarden and Dashlane are competitive when it comes to core features like unlimited password storage and a seamless user-friendly interface. But Bitwarden goes the distance with integrations, top-tier security that’s audited in an open source environment, and unlimited passwords (compared to Dashlane’s max 25-login free plan).
Users choose Bitwarden over Dashlane because of its user-friendliness, advanced encryption, multiple MFA options, and comprehensive high-quality features. Bitwarden delivers more at a similar price point.
"Bitwarden made my life a heck of a lot easier. We're not herding cats anymore."
- John Parker, IT Admin, Alpha Video
Bitwarden is an enterprise-grade password manager with a simple setup across unlimited devices and tailored 1:1 support — for businesses and consumers.
Bitwarden offers two core tiers with unlimited passwords and without costly add-ons: an incredibly comprehensive free version and a flexible option for enterprise clients. These tiers provide all the features clients care about most: cross-platform password vault access, a password generator, and open-source zero-knowledge end-to-end encryption (Bitwarden doesn't have access to your master password or anything stored in your vault). These features are polished by a user-friendly interface that tech-savvy users and newcomers both love.
Because Bitwarden maintains a trusted open source architecture, the global community continuously verifies security and privacy, contributing to the rolling cycle of improvements and upgrades from Bitwarden.
Dashlane offers password management and password sharing solutions for individuals and businesses, and considers itself open source software. But Dashlane lacks a lightweight web app and user-friendly interface. It also paywalls most of its features, (such as unlimited password storage), making Dashlane’s free plan extremely limited.
This lack of functionality often forces businesses and clientele to decentralize their process, or forgo the tools entirely — ultimately leaving room for a data breach or inefficient workflows to occur.
This, coupled with limited global support, limits the functionality that the general public and other Dashlane users expect and deserve from other password managers.

What does the Bitwarden community say?
"...the one thing users should consider when using a password manager is, what is happening underneath the hood. Here is where Bitwarden wins. Their open source model is available for scrutiny by security experts and the community, this removes any worry that something egregious is happening within the Bitwarden company and allows the community to come together and find potential security risks."

"We had a problem with a user who lost access to his vault because he lost his mfa tokens on his mobile, and in less than 3 emails and 20 minutes we had regained access thanks to Bitwarden's support."
- Juan Manuel B
"Bitwarden stands out in the Password Management product market on several levels that make it the number one choice, in my opinion, for enterprises, small businesses and families alike. The ease of implementation, integration with Single Sign On and Windows Hello are just the begining... The ability to sync Passkeys across all device types is unique to this product and makes end users lives MUCH eaiser. Administrators are also in control with it's integration in to Entra ID nad SEIM support."

Users love Bitwarden
Having used this product for years I could not be happier. As an administrator who works on hundreds of systems it is critical that I have a single source to access all those individual credentials.

I switched from LastPass and never looked back. This software does everything the big guys do but it's free and open source, so you can feel secure knowing it's safe.
