What do you like best about StrongDM?

Strongdm is super easy to set up - we set it up ourselves for AWS and GCP within less then a day.

Users love the simplicity of signing up and connecting to internal resources without the hassles of a legacy VPN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StrongDM?

Nothing substantial really. It would be great to add support for pulumi for IaC (currently only terraform supported). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StrongDM solving and how is that benefiting you?

Secure, auditable, simple cloud-agnostic access management (VPN-alternative) to private cloud resources such as postgres databases.

This enables engineers and data analysts to access data without worrying too much about the details of the underlying infrastructure or network topology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about StrongDM?

I like that StrongDM makes it easy for our users to securely access cloud resources without needing a separate VPN. We can provide SSH access to instances, access to databases, and even dashboards for tools that we don't want to make publicly available. Additionally, StrongDM allows us granular control over the resources that individual users have access to. StrongDM support is also fantastic. Any time we have had issues, they have been able to get us a resolution faster than I would have expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StrongDM?

There isn't anything that I dislike about strongDM. We have been a customer for several years now and have seen the product continually improve throughout the time we've used it. I can't wait to see what they come up with next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StrongDM solving and how is that benefiting you?

We brought in strongDM so that we could easily provide our users access to cloud resources without needing to set up a VPN and peer all of our VPCs together. Using strongDM allows users to log into a single service and have access to resources spread across multiple accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not seen a downfall yet , they were able to handle all our request so far Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about StrongDM?

As described in the title, their product works! It works as expected - no magic, or wasted hours. Better than that, their customer support was there with us all the time, and our success was their priority. Their onboarding process is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StrongDM?

Since the beginning of our relationship, which was great, we had not hit any problems. We had scheduled meetings to check our progress and sessions that could be used to provide feedback or ask for help. We felt they were there for us if we needed them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StrongDM solving and how is that benefiting you?

StrondDM helped our developers to have access to resources "behind the iron curtain" - no public access, safely and easily. Their systray application is a great differential. Developers just need to click and chose what they want to have access to. You are able to audit access. Finally, they integrate with your IdP of choice, in our case OKTA and support SCIM.

What do you like best about StrongDM?

What do I like best can easily be summed up by sayng "it just works". Since we initially on boarded with StrongDM the solution has worked for us. As with anything there have been minor hiccups but their support team is quick to email or hop on a zoom and resolve these hiccups. It's been easy enough for all of our teams, even the less techinical ones, to use without the need for significant training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StrongDM?

There is not much now that I dislike besides the color scheme. In the past, they would release new features and not let us know about them or how they could be used to solve new issues. This has gotten better as we now have more and more contact with our CSM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StrongDM solving and how is that benefiting you?

We found StrongDM when we were starting down our compliance path, starting with SOC 2 Type II compliance. StrongDM helped us protect our cloud resources with private networks but still allows employees to connect to these resources when necessary. Plus it adds all the necessary audit trails.

What do you like best about StrongDM?

Strongdm is a setup and forget about it solution as it just works. The terraform provider as well as okta provisioning mean that the team responsible for maintaning datasources doesn't have to do any manual work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StrongDM?

I have no complaints about strongdm at all. The pricing isn't free so that may be my biggest complaint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StrongDM solving and how is that benefiting you?

Access control and auditing access to data sources, who accessed what data at what time and what exactly did they do? This is huge for us when it comes to an audit trail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about StrongDM?

There is no need in using VPN for accessing server infrastructure. It's all in-one: SSH, RDP, PSQL, VNC etc. Different access levels for different groups of staff. Audit logs for everything! We love it!)) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StrongDM?

In theory it's a single point of failure - SPF. But it works pretty stable and I don't remember any work interruption in past few months. We're waiting the support of Android and iOS. Hopefully - they will be supported soon Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StrongDM solving and how is that benefiting you?

No more VPNs for accessing server infrastructure! Access permissions for different groups of staff and audit logs - solve security issues for our Team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about StrongDM?

It helped us to solve many issues and even get rid of a horrible VPN we had. Now all our DB access is audited and automized. It was pretty easy to implement and we barely had issues since then. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StrongDM?

It is very expensive, the service is very robust but still I don't see a scenario in wich a small - mid size company can allow to invest so much money in this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StrongDM solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows us to control the access to all our productive and non-productive databases and we can also control who and when acesses to the production databases via allowance procedure. It helped us to get rid of the VPN we had before wich was high maintenance, unstable and old. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about StrongDM?

strongDM unified our access methods across a variety of production instances, gave us more granular control over that access, and simplified the process for the dev team. It's rare to see a product that improves security and usability at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StrongDM?

It's possible to go off the rails in specific ways. We mistagged our instances early on and ran into some filtering issues. The strongDM team has been excellent at adding features at our request and addressing these usability issues quickly, though. The core of their offering is solid, and any issues we had around the outside were easy to fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StrongDM solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our infrastructure includes deployments across hybrid, public, and private cloud. Using strongDM allows our entire team to log into all of our environments in the same way, and allows us to grant just in time access to an on-call developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StrongDM solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing databases across the entire org, we don't have to share master credentials with all users, instead we create users on the database and assign them access through SDM Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
