Dashlane review (2026): features, pros and cons, and what to check before you buy
Business password manager with shared vaults, admin policy controls and phishing-alert style monitoring, sold in Starter, Team and Business tiers.
Our take for buyers
Dashlane is a reasonable shortlist candidate for small and mid-size companies that want a polished, easy-to-use employee app and SSO-based login in a mainstream tier. Reviewers praise the clean apps and browser extension, strong autofill and password health scoring, which matters because adoption decides whether a password manager protects anyone. G2 rates it 4.5 from 615 reviews, and Gartner Peer Insights lists Dashlane Business at 4.6 from 152 ratings, so sentiment is consistently positive.
The main buying risk is missing detail. Plan names and prices are unclear across sources, and reviewers note few published details on SCIM. It is not the right choice if you need privileged access management, and teams wanting transparent public pricing without a call will be frustrated. Founded in 2009 in Paris, the company is now based in New York.

Published by the vendor: a zero-knowledge design, which is a vendor claim and not independently confirmed. SSO is supported, but the plan that includes it is not confirmed. Not published or not confirmed: SCIM, audit logs, admin reporting, data residency, a DPA, and any named certifications. Because this is a password manager, ask for SOC reports, the SSO and SCIM tier, audit log retention, where vaults are hosted and the DPA, and get tier and price in the contract.

What to test in a Dashlane demo or trial
Roll out the browser extension and mobile app to a pilot group and judge autofill quality and the password health scoring on real logins. Test shared collections and group sharing, which Dashlane does not describe in detail, with a realistic team structure. Set up SSO with your identity provider and confirm which tier includes it. Ask a direct question about SCIM provisioning and test it if offered. Check the admin reporting you would need for audits, since the available details are thin.
