Comparison 
When deciding between an on-premises or cloud-based Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution, a cloud-based PAM solution is recommended because it is easier to manage, highly scalable
The primary distinction between Keeper Security and Bitwarden becomes evident when examining their provided functionalities and advantages. Bitwarden serves as a password manager equipped with features like a password generator, autofill and two-factor authentication. In contrast, Keeper represents an enterprise-grade solution that not only encompasses these same capabilities as Bitwarden, but goes further by integrating password management with secrets and connection management.
