Devolutions

Overview

Devolutions, founded in 2010 in Quebec, provides password and privileged-access management alongside remote-connection management, aimed at IT teams. It bridges credential vaulting and session access, with both self-hosted and cloud options, and is positioned between a password manager and a light PAM.

What it is good at

Combining credential vaulting with remote-connection management in tools like Remote Desktop Manager is the distinctive strength, giving IT teams one place for shared accounts and the sessions that use them. Deployment is flexible with self-hosted and cloud choices, authorization and audit controls are solid, and there is a free tier for individuals. Its Hub and Server products centralize team vaults and session logging, and the breadth of supported protocols (RDP, SSH, VPN, web) is unusually wide for a tool in this price range.

Where it falls short

It is IT-admin focused, so it is neither a polished personal consumer manager nor a full enterprise PAM with the breadth of dedicated platforms. The product family can be complex to assemble, and non-technical users will find it more involved than a mainstream password manager.

Pricing

Per-user subscriptions with a free individual tier; pricing varies by module. Model your mix with the TCO calculator.

Best for, and who should look elsewhere

Choose Devolutions when an IT team wants password and remote-connection management together with self-host flexibility. For a simpler team vault see Bitwarden; for self-hosted privileged passwords see ManageEngine Password Manager Pro; for OpenPGP sharing see Passbolt.

Bottom line

A practical credential-and-remote-access tool for IT teams and SMBs that want both in one stack.
