Previous solution
1Password and Dashlane

Audiochuck, LLC, the creators behind nearly 20 podcasts, including the #1 true crime podcast Crime Junkie needed a secure and collaborative way to manage sensitive credentials across a fast-moving, content-focused organization.As their production team expanded and cross-functional collaboration became more complex, their existing tools like Dashlane and 1Password no longer supported the level of integration and structure they needed.

Challenges

Lack of integration with Google Workspace:
Their previous tools didn’t fully leverage their Google Workspace environment, making password organization more difficult than it needed to be.
Disorganized password collaboration:
Without a structure aligned with how their teams worked, sharing passwords securely and efficiently was a challenge.
Limited infrastructure control:
Hosted solutions didn’t offer the control or flexibility needed by their IT team.
