I use 1Password Business for both work and personal family purposes. At work, I use 1Password Business to organize all my passwords for various applications I log into, as well as certain secrets that I need to keep, such as keys and other sensitive information. I also use it to store secret information that I don't want anybody to gain access to for my own purposes or for work.

It prevents you from using a password in more than one place, so all your passwords are unique. It notifies you if you've used a password somewhere else before.
1Password Business has very easy-to-use password generation tools. You have lots of options in terms of how you'd like to construct the password, whether it's just a bunch of random letters, numbers, and symbols, or you can create phrases or hyphenated words.

Sharing is a main highlight, and it can accelerate our processes as well.
1Password Business positively impacts our organization by helping us maintain a better security posture and keeping everything in one location, making it easier to avoid leaks or manage credential changes across the board.
Since we started using 1Password Business, it has saved considerable time. Previously, we had to contact several different people to determine the most current credentials, but now the vaults remain up to date all the time, eliminating the need to search for current credentials.
What needs improvement?
1Password Business is working well, and there is little that needs improvement at this time.

Shared team vaults have streamlined credential access and secured daily development workflows
What is our primary use case?
1Password Business serves as my main solution for sharing credentials with my team and storing passwords for staging.
We maintain a vault specific for the team where we have access to our staging and test environments.
Whenever a new team member is onboarded, we give them access to the vault so they have immediate access to all the credentials they need to log in.
What is most valuable?
The best features 1Password Business offers are the developer tools, as they mean that if you have SSH set up on your GitHub account, you don't have to type in your password every time you commit and push something.
1Password Business has positively impacted my organization by making it more secure, easier to share credentials with other people, and more reliable.
If we were to forget our password, the owner of the enterprise can reset it and then log us back in. Using a password manager in general is more secure, especially when it's a trusted one by the entire team, and the reliability is evident because it's straightforward to log in knowing that your credentials will be there anytime you do log in. The developer tools make my daily workflow easier and more secure because they integrate with the fingerprint built in for MacBook, making it quick and simple whenever I have to log into something.
What needs improvement?

I am not sure how 1Password Business is deployed in my organization.
What about the implementation team?
I didn't have to deal with pricing, setup cost, and licensing because the company handled it.

Centralized credential management has transformed password rotation and streamlined compliance
What is our primary use case?
1Password Business is used to save all service account credentials for team members, with the need to keep everything in one centralized location. Multiple locations are created for each team, such as one for the analytics team, where all passwords, EC2 key pairs, and other credentials are stored and shared with team members for their use.
1Password Business is used to retrieve passwords, and when new passwords are created, the password browser integration auto-populates the credentials whenever connecting to the single sign-on environment, filling in both username and password from the vault.
AWS IAM access keys are currently stored in the password vault for a critical application where IAM roles cannot be used. IAM access keys are rotated regularly through a separate pipeline that generates new access key and secret key every 85 days. These are seamlessly updated to the 1Password Business vault, and the application team retrieves the new credentials from the vault.
How has it helped my organization?
1Password Business saves 10 to 15 hours of workforce time every week, totaling almost 50 hours every month. There is no longer a need to have dedicated users rotating passwords, sharing passwords with others, or ensuring stakeholders receive updated credentials via email. Critical password details are no longer shared with individual persons through email, which significantly reduces time spent on password management, sharing, and coordination across the team and organization.
Operational processes have improved considerably. Previously, whenever passwords or access keys were rotated, they were shared with individual team members, which was not secure. With 1Password Business implementation, critical password details are updated to the vault and accessible only to team members with appropriate permissions. This has solved numerous operational challenges related to password rotation and addresses regulatory compliance requirements. The organization can now demonstrate evidence of secure password storage, which has been instrumental in obtaining security clearance in the life sciences and healthcare sectors.
What is most valuable?
1Password Business provides seamless integration with multiple services, AWS accounts, and enables easy management of the password vault and passwords. The automatic password rotation feature is particularly valuable, as rotated passwords are automatically updated to the 1Password Business vault.
The time savings achieved through 1Password Business is significant, eliminating 10 to 15 hours of workforce time weekly and approximately 50 hours monthly. Previously, dedicated users were required to rotate passwords, share them with others, and notify stakeholders when passwords expired. This information no longer needs to be shared via email, and the time previously spent on these tasks has been substantially reduced.
What needs improvement?
More integration with third-party SaaS products would be beneficial. During the initial onboarding process, seamless integration with other services was not fully realized, and proper documentation was lacking. However, after becoming comfortable with the system, the overall experience has been very positive.
For how long have I used the solution?
1Password Business has been in use for the last one and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There have been no issues with 1Password Business regarding reliability, and no challenges have been encountered.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
1Password Business supports organizational growth by accommodating increasing numbers of passwords and integrations with multiple services.
How was the initial setup?
The setup and management of 1Password Business is straightforward, and it securely stores passwords effectively.
What was our ROI?
1Password Business saves 10 to 15 hours of workforce time every week, totaling almost 50 hours every month. Dedicated users are no longer required to rotate passwords, share passwords with others, or notify stakeholders via email when passwords expire. The elimination of email-based credential sharing has significantly reduced time spent on these tasks, resulting in approximately 50 hours of time saved monthly.
What other advice do I have?
1Password Business is deployed in a hybrid cloud environment using Amazon Web Services (AWS) as the cloud provider alongside public cloud and private cloud environments with some SaaS products.
An identity provider, Okta, has been integrated with 1Password Business, eliminating user onboarding challenges and providing seamless integration with Okta single sign-on.
Groups and roles are utilized to grant access to specific team members. Audit features are not currently in use. Integration exists with the AWS environment and single sign-on, but not with other services beyond these. Password rotation is partially automated, with some rotations completed manually.
The overall experience with 1Password Business has been smooth and positive. The review rating for this solution is 9 out of 10.
