In a significant endorsement of its capabilities, Keeper Security has been recognized as a front-runner in the field of Privileged Access Management (PAM) according to a newly released survey from Enterprise Management Associates (EMA). The report, titled "Beyond the Vault: Elevating Privileged Access Management in the Modern Enterprise", assesses various PAM platforms and reveals that Keeper's solution, KeeperPAM®, excels in several crucial areas such as deployment convenience, security design, and user satisfaction.
The study found that 69% of organizations have opted for PAM primarily to combat credential theft and reduce the risk of cyber threats. In an era where safeguarding sensitive information has become paramount, adopting practices rooted in zero-trust and zero-knowledge principles is increasingly vital. KeeperPAM users reported that their deployments were not only quicker but also that they experienced higher overall satisfaction compared to users with rival systems.
Key findings from the EMA survey underline this success:
- - An impressive 75% of KeeperPAM users expressed that they are "very satisfied" with their solution, a stark contrast to the 54% satisfaction rate seen with other vendors.
- - Additionally, while 73% of users from competing PAM solutions reported ongoing issues, only 15% of Keeper customers felt the need for dedicated personnel to manage deployment and integration—compared to almost 40% of competitors' users.
- - Notably, 60% of Keeper users deemed their deployment process "very easy", whereas only 22% of competitors’ users felt the same.
Perhaps most striking is the tendency among KeeperPAM users; none expressed intentions to switch platforms, while a small percentage from other brands were actively exploring alternatives.
The advantages of using KeeperPAM extend beyond mere ease of use. The solution features capabilities like just-in-time provisioning, remote browser isolation, endpoint privilege management, and privileged session monitoring—elements that are crucial for enforcing least-privilege access and automating access lifecycles. These features eliminate the common headache of shared credentials and allow organizations to ensure compliance and audit requirements are met.
According to Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-founder of Keeper Security, "The launch and expansion of KeeperPAM marks a new chapter in zero-trust privileged access management. Rules and protocols that govern access must evolve to mitigate risks from both inside and outside an organization. The EMA report reinforces the substantial value KeeperPAM offers in safeguarding business infrastructures against unauthorized access."
In contrast, legacy on-premises PAM solutions frequently encounter challenges related to complex integrations and require a larger workforce. In this competitive landscape, KeeperPAM’s cloud-native architecture simplifies the deployment process and facilitates integration with identity provider (IdP) applications, multi-factor authentication (MFA) solutions, and security information and event management (SIEM) options. This streamlined approach reduces operational burdens and empowers security teams to transition from reactive measures to proactive risk strategies.
The EMA survey encompassed responses from cybersecurity professionals using leading PAM platforms, including BeyondTrust, CyberArk, Delinea, Devolutions, Keeper Security, ManageEngine, One Identity, and StrongDM, surveyed in June 2025. The compelling findings reflect the industry shift towards solutions that satisfy stringent security requirements while optimizing user experience.
Organizations facing challenges with competitor products report a myriad of difficulties, highlighting that 73% of them encountered at least one major issue, in stark contrast to the mere 35% of Keeper users who reported similar experiences. The survey makes it clear: Keeper Security stands out amidst a crowded marketplace as a leader in securing sensitive access points and ensuring organizational safety.
