Dashlane is a password management solution primarily designed for individual consumers. It is among the most expensive password management options.
Ambiguous privacy measures hinder transparency and user trust as Dashlane does not comply with the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) or HIPAA.
User trust is further stunted by Dashlane’s closed source code which prevents individual verification of its security and privacy claims.

Bitwarden vs. Dashlane: What does the Bitwarden community say? ❤️
"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."

"Bitwarden packages many incredible features into an unbelievably valuable package. Management of logins, cards, secure notes, identities, and even unique features like Bitwarden Send, and TOTP, under the purview of a responsible company with open source transparency (and self-hostability!) makes an amazingly compelling product."
- Verified User
"...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."

Important things to consider when choosing a password manager
Open source security solutions offer a level of transparency and trust that their closed source counterparts simply cannot, but transparency goes deeper than source code. Some password managers muddle their pricing with confusing add-ons or fees; others offer introductory pricing that skyrockets at renewal. There are also solutions that are not truly end-to-end encrypted, leaving sensitive information like URLs visible in the event of a breach.
Some password management solutions withhold critical features like Advanced SSO, security reports, and MFA from their plans and package them as costly add-ons.
Other popular password management solutions are tailor made for the individual consumer and later adapted for business use, making for a sometimes clunky and confusing business experience.
The Bitwarden Password Manager is and always has been an enterprise-first solution. This comes through in a number of ways:
Bitwarden is a light and flexible password manager offering admins the ability to customize how they deploy and use Bitwarden. Bitwarden flexibility extends to its industry-leading SSO integration which allows enterprise organizations to leverage their existing Identity Provider to authenticate users with Bitwarden using SAML 2.0 or Open ID Connect (OIDC) protocols.
Bitwarden is all-inclusive. There are no hidden add-ons or fees. You won’t get locked out of critical features because you don’t have the right add-ons. You get robust, enterprise-grade security for the price you signed up for.
Users say Bitwarden is the best! Bitwarden has been ranked first in Enterprise User Satisfaction for eight straight quarters in the G2 Enterprise Grid Report for Password Managers. Bitwarden was ranked first overall in the same report in four of the last five quarters, including the most recent report.
