Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Beyond Identity

  • It is an authentication layer, not an identity provider, so you keep and keep paying for Okta or Entra ID underneath and the combined per-user cost is roughly double a single-vendor approach.
  • Every device that authenticates needs the platform authenticator installed, which makes onboarding contractors, third parties and shared kiosks awkward and sometimes impossible.
  • Pricing is quoted per user with no published rates, so buyers cannot benchmark it against the increasingly capable passkey support now included in identity provider base licences.
  • Losing all enrolled devices requires an administrative recovery path, and organisations that design that path poorly reintroduce a social-engineering target at the helpdesk.
  • Legacy applications that only speak passwords or older protocols need a federation shim or stay outside the policy, so coverage is rarely complete in an estate with old systems.

Keeper Password Manager

  • Free tier limited to 10 passwords on one device only
  • Personal and Family plans lack team collaboration features
  • Higher per-user cost for small teams compared to some competitors

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Beyond Identity: Does it replace Okta or Entra ID?

No. It sits in front of them as the authentication method. Budget for both.

Keeper Password Manager: Does Keeper offer a free tier?

Keeper's free version stores only 10 passwords on a single mobile device with no cross-device sync and is effectively a trial.

Source
Beyond Identity: What happens when a user loses their laptop?

They authenticate from another enrolled device, or go through an administrative recovery flow. Designing that recovery well matters, because it is the weakest point.

Keeper Password Manager: What does Keeper Business cost?

Keeper Business Starter costs $2 per user per month for 5-10 users. Keeper Business costs $3.75 per user per month for unlimited users.

Source
Beyond Identity: Is it different from passkeys?

The credential mechanism is similar in spirit. The difference is enforcing device security posture at every authentication, which standard passkeys do not do.

Keeper Password Manager: Does Keeper Enterprise include SSO?

Yes. Keeper Enterprise includes single sign-on capabilities along with compliance and reporting features at $6 per user per month.

Source
Keeper Password Manager: What security features does Keeper include?

Keeper uses zero-knowledge encryption where the company cannot access passwords, plus advanced features like privileged access management and session recording on Enterprise Plus.
