Some things I would look for:

• Data should be encrypted
• Permissions to retrieve password should be grantable on at least a user basis. Adding a group basis is nice as well.
• Some sort of data organization that makes sense for you (by servers, database vendors, ... - completely configurable is best)
• An absolute must - there should be a way to retrieve passwords from the command line for use in scripts.
