Bitwarden Differentiators

Bitwarden Differentiators.

What makes Bitwarden different. Bitwarden Others Why this matters Single source of truth Items exist in only one place - the centralized vault. What is shared is access to the item. Items themselves must be moved where they’re needed. This leads to duplicates & shortcuts. With Bitwarden, changes to items need to happen just one time. Easy to administer. Easy access management Managing access is centralized and as easy as adjusting collection or user assignment. Access is unknown to admins as users share peer-to-peer. It’s impossible to intervene. With Bitwarden, when users offboard, change jobs, or an item needs to be restricted, it’s easy to configure access. Scalable sharing Items can be assigned to more than one collection - access can go to multiple teams simultaneously. Sharing between teams requires duplicate items or shortcuts. With Bitwarden, items can be selectively shared with multiple teams. No duplicates, no shortcuts. Easy to administer. Organization ownership Anything shared is owned by the organization. If a user leaves, shared items remain. Individual vaults can be turned off, so Admins can view reports on all items. Users own the items. If a user leaves, they take their shared items with them. Folders they shared vanish. Disruption to teams. With Bitwarden, offboarding is not disruptive. Deleted shared items can be easily recovered, and admins have oversight into what is shared with whom. Easy to manage. Multi-org management Much larger conglomerates can separate business units and manage multiple Bitwarden organizations from the Business Unit Portal with a shared admin team. Full separation is not possible and relies on labels and internal documentation. With Bitwarden, large businesses with separated regions or units can use one Bitwarden installation to secure their entire business..

Easy, secure management. Multi-org management. Easy access management.

Items are a single source of truth.

If a vault item is changed, the change happens everywhere. If an item is deleted, it is deleted everywhere. This makes vault items a single source of truth..

This means a team can share a credential.. [image].

This means a team can share a credential. Without access being granted to other items..
