It is fairly easy to use. I like that it stays in the top toolbar of my machine so that a full app doesn't have to be open and running. It has the ability to group various services and sort by the ones you want visible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There was usually a lag of 2-3 minuted between database approval and being able to select/ enable the database in SDM. Their recent redesign threw me for a loop as it almost looked like a different app/ UX. It also seems a bit cumbersome to have to do a web-based login through Okta, but that's likely a SSO limitation on Mac, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
StrongDM provides a transparent view of user access. Giving us logs for every user action through StrongDM and just-in-access to those resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Honestly, so far nothing. It's really difficult to come up with something to dislike about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Temporary access grants is fantastic
The ability to automate access requests/approval is mission-critical (currently using an access bot).
SSO integration helps a lot with user management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Improved client software stability and the ability to reconnect automatically are needed when using SDM for automated processes that rely on SDM db connection.
Better logging/audit trail that is exportable
Direct integration with monitoring systems Datadog, CloudWatch, etc) or better monitoring facility Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
strongDM's features around audit and observability make it invaluable to our team. Features like SSH session replays, audit logs, and time-based permissions are core to our use case and simply weren't offered by other products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
strongDM could further simplify their user experience within the admin application. Recent redesigns have been helpful but haven't fully addressed the issue. Nagging client application connectivity issues can sometimes be a bit annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The management of the system is so simple and easy. It's no burden at all to manage because every from installation to maintenance is a breeze. And their support is the best I've ever worked with. I always tell everyone the same thing...if something is wrong, there will be 4 StrongDM engineers on a zoom call with you within 5 minutes to help troubleshoot. Everytime something was wrong, it ended up being our own misunderstanding or network misconfiguration....StrongDM is rock solid!
They have also taken our feedback very serious and worked aggressively to add features to their product that we asked for (within reason). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing. Seriously. I truly have nothing bad to say about StrongDM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
StrongDM is committed to delivering a great product and pairing with us to ensure that the product is the correct solution for us. While I can't speak to their competition, I can say that their willingness to improve their products based on feedback sets them apart from the rest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I want more metrics on user logins and a more accessible audit trail so that I may better understand how our engineering are accessing resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
StrongDM helped to mitigate old solutions using VPN and right now all of our engineers can connect to the resources in just one click! It is super easy to setup new resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You need to create as any resource as access levels to them, so it complicates a lot, as you would like to have one single resource configured with x access levels, you need to create x times resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
