My only worry about software working with this model (one time fee, download install etc.) is the source code. Things like this, particularly, will need to be easily modified and extended to fit into certain environments, and with no sample source code it's very hard to know how easy that will be. Obviously don't open-source, that kills your business model, but maybe it would be nice to provide a few sample files, or even a stripped-down "basic" version, just so we can get an idea of your coding styles and see if we'd be able to extend the code to fulfill our needs. This isn't a specific criticism of this software, which looks cool and seems to provide a lot of the features of the more expensive enterprise-y solutions at a much more friendly price point, it's just a general criticism of software on this model.
One of the common use case is not addressed: groups. You most certainly don't want all your team-mates to get access to all the passwords stored in there.<p>Another very common use-case is for storing/downloading SSH keys.<p>More field types would be nice; lists immediately come to mind for the example State field.<p>The fact that every password is decrypted and loaded in the UI doesn't make me feel confident. An On-Demand thing would make more sense.<p>But it's a cool thing to bootstrap and with the look of it, it should do ok.
Hey guys, thanks for the comments on our app.<p>Nakkiel, we'll be adding groups in the future, we know how useful this will be for lots of users (ourselves included). To confirm, every password isn't decrypted and loaded in the UI, it is in-fact on demand and passwords are only decrypted when you hover over their respective field.<p>nodesocket1, we considered SaaS but feel this model allows more flexibility and control for the end user, and there's no ongoing costs.
I'd really like to buy this. I like the front end and based on the demo, it looks really great.<p>However, I haven't ponied up my money for two reasons:<p>1)
"The installer will take you through license validation, database connection and user setup"<p>This sounds like samarudge is right and that this software is locked down. For a web based password manager, this is an extremely bad idea. I need the software to be flexible and open to development to fit my own environment.<p>2)
I don't think that this software supports LDAP. In my perfect world, I'd like a fast, easy to use frontend (like simplesafe.net has) along with a foundation in mySQL (check) and exceptionally easy to use cross-functionality with LDAP. Nearly every authentication system works with LDAP.<p>Without these 2 issues solved, Simplesafe.net isn't any better than using keepass. If these two issues are solved, I'll pony up $45 right away and would be happy to pay upwards of $100 for easy-to-use LDAP.
Great looking landing page guys. Looks similar to Stripe. :) Amazing interface, really slick jQuery slide effects, and just a beautiful UX. Why though, not make it SaaS?
