ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is a privileged access management platform from ManageEngine, the enterprise IT management division of Zoho Corporation, for organisations that need to vault, rotate and audit shared administrative and service-account credentials rather than manage individual staff logins. It centralises passwords, SSH keys and SSL certificates in an encrypted repository with ready-made templates for over 80 resource types, and adds request-release workflows so a user can check out time-limited access to a credential rather than know it outright. Remote SSH, RDP and Telnet sessions can be launched from the browser without exposing the underlying password, and Password Manager Pro records those sessions for later playback, which is the feature most MSPs asking about privileged session recording are looking for.
The product is sold on-premises, installed on Windows Server or Linux, across four editions: Standard, Premium, Enterprise and a dedicated MSP Edition that adds a multi-tenant console so a service provider can manage several clients' credentials from one instance with data kept separate between them. Licensing is per administrator, sold as a subscription or a perpetual licence, but ManageEngine does not publish a flat price on its site; its store shows the subscription and perpetual options but only resolves an actual figure once a country and edition are selected, so pricing here is treated as quote-only (checked September 2026). A 30-day free trial with full Enterprise Edition functionality is available, limited to two administrators, and there is no free version once that trial ends. Password Manager Pro authenticates locally or against Active Directory, LDAP, RADIUS or a smart card, supports two-factor authentication (including RSA SecurID, Google Authenticator, Duo Security and YubiKey one-time passwords), and integrates as a SAML 2.0 service provider with identity providers including Okta and Azure AD. It also connects to ticketing platforms such as ServiceNow and to SIEM tools for centralised alerting. ManageEngine's parent, Zoho Corporation, is based in India. An MSP evaluating Password Manager Pro should confirm the per-administrator cost for the edition and admin count they need directly with ManageEngine, since it is not listed publicly, and check whether the MSP Edition's client-separation model fits their multi-tenant requirements before buying.
Password Manager Pro is a credible pick for an MSP that wants an on-premises, self-hosted vault with session recording rather than a cloud-hosted one, and the dedicated MSP Edition with its own multi-tenant console is a genuine differentiator against consumer-oriented tools like 1Password or Bitwarden that were not built for managing several clients from one console. The trade-off is that you host and patch the server yourself, and pricing is quote-only, so budgeting takes a sales conversation rather than a published price list. Compare it against Delinea Secret Server and BeyondTrust, which cover similar privileged-access ground, and against a cloud-hosted vault like Keeper if you would rather not run the infrastructure. On a trial, check whether the edition you can afford actually includes session recording and the request-release workflow, since those sit above the Standard tier, and confirm the MSP Edition's client-isolation model matches how you separate client data today.

ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is licensed per administrator rather than per end user, across Standard, Premium, Enterprise and a separate MSP Edition. ManageEngine does not publish a flat price for any edition; its online store offers subscription and perpetual licensing but resolves the actual per-administrator figure only after a country and edition are selected, so getting a number means running the store's configurator or requesting a quote (checked September 2026).
Yes, ManageEngine sells a dedicated MSP Edition of Password Manager Pro alongside the Standard, Premium and Enterprise editions. It gives a service provider a single console for managing multiple clients' privileged passwords while keeping each client's credentials and access separate, rather than running one shared vault with no isolation between customers.
ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is on-premises software, installed on a Windows Server (2019 to 2025) or Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS, Red Hat) machine that the buyer hosts and patches themselves. ManageEngine's own cloud alternative for password management is a separate product, Zoho Vault, so an MSP that specifically wants a vendor-hosted service should look there or at a cloud-native competitor instead.
Yes, ManageEngine offers a 30-day free trial of Password Manager Pro with full Enterprise Edition functionality, limited to two administrators. There is no separate free or community edition once that trial period ends; continued use requires a paid, per-administrator subscription or perpetual licence.
Yes, Password Manager Pro can launch SSH, RDP and Telnet sessions to managed resources directly from the browser without exposing the underlying credential, and it records those sessions for later playback and forensic review. Session recording and the associated request-release access workflow require the Premium or Enterprise edition rather than the base Standard edition.
