Zoho Vault review (2026): features, pros and cons, and what to check before you buy
Low-cost password manager from Zoho with a free tier and Standard, Professional and Enterprise plans.
Our take for buyers
Zoho Vault is a low-cost password manager from Zoho that fits small teams and companies already on Zoho, Microsoft or Okta, and it lets a team start on a free plan before paying anything. It integrates with Azure AD, Google Workspace, Okta and OneLogin. G2 lists a 4.4 rating from 75 reviews, a modest but usable sample. Reviewers like the very low price and the free plan, and the product targets small and mid-size businesses.
Reviewers also call the interface dated and say it has fewer features than top vendors. Shortlist it when price and basic team sharing matter more than polish. Skip it if you need published SCIM support, since Zoho does not name SCIM, or if you want a modern experience that non-technical staff will adopt without training.

Security, admin and compliance
Zoho publishes SSO for cloud apps on Enterprise, user and group sync from Professional (Azure, Google) and Okta on Enterprise. Audit logs begin at Professional. It does not name SCIM, data residency options, a DPA or an encryption architecture in its published materials, and lists no security certifications for Vault. For a password manager, ask for those in writing before you buy. Professional and Enterprise are reported to have a 5-user minimum.

What to test in a Zoho Vault demo or trial
Start the 15-day trial, which allows up to 5 users with no card. Set up shared folders and user groups, which begin at Professional, and have a few non-technical colleagues store and retrieve real credentials to judge the dated interface. Connect your directory (Azure, Google Workspace, Okta or OneLogin) and check what syncs on each plan. Review the audit log output against what your security team needs. Note that Zoho does not name passkey support, so test it if you rely on passkeys.
