Our company has around 200 users using both Mac and Windows and is looking to implement a password manager. Security is a priority, but we also need to keep costs reasonable and demonstrate a return on investment. We're really trying to avoid the issues with freemium products that lock essential features behind paywalls. I've had bad experiences with services that look good at first but require ongoing subscriptions for essential features. I want a solution that gives us control over our data, ideally without recurring costs. I'm considering options like Vaultwarden for self-hosting, which seems promising. Additionally, I've heard about Passwork, which claims to provide enterprise security at a better price, but I'm wary of hidden subscriptions. I'm looking for advice on budget-friendly, self-hosted options that won't lead to vendor lock-in. Also, if anyone has experience with the total costs for different password managers, that would be really helpful!

I'd suggest looking into Bitwarden for Enterprise. They have flat pricing and allow for self-hosting, which provides granularity with permissions and a single sign-on feature. Keep in mind you might pay more for other enterprise solutions like Secret Server or Beyond Trust, so weigh your options.
They also integrate nicely with modern security platforms for auditing, if that's on your radar.
