It has helped us avoid the need to manage database usernames and passwords for routine access; Helped answer questions like Who, When, What, and Where on a Splunk Dashboard; Automating onboarding/off-boarding, and a simplified manager approval process thanks to slack integrations.

I am honestly struggling to find anything to improve on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SDM makes it easy to provide our engineers with secure and observable access to our data services. Our onboarding process is even more effective, as we are able to onboard team members to our services faster and with no intervention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Documentation can be slightly lacking sometimes, but the SDM team is quick to provide the guidance needed or update the docs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We're currently utilizing StrongDM for proxying access into the management interfaces for our most sensitive systems. The product works very well for this purpose for us. We add the servers, add the users, create the roles and assign the servers. That's it. Then, once it's completed, it's even faster to offboard and onboard new users. One of our DBAs is leaving shortly and we can just remove him from the group to disable all of his access. Then, once his replacement is hired, we can add the new user and put them in the group. They'll be allocated all of their required roles. The audit functions are also very helpful to preserve the actual tasks that were completed while the user was logged in.

My two biggest criticisms is that I can't currently proxy websites that utilize our SSO environment (which I think is on their roadmap) and it doesn't currently support our password management system. That system is a bit older so I understand the decision. Also, they've been adding support for additional password management systems over time. That will allow us to have it check out credentials at the time of login rather than having to hard code them in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We've had a great time with the team at strongDM. The support has been fantastic, and the setup a breeze. Whenever we have a question, the support team is quick to respond and always extremely helpful. So far, we are only using the database connections but plan on leveraging more of their platform soon.
We look forward to hopefully, one day, getting rid of our VPN with the help of strongDM! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While the support has been great, I would have loved a non-email option for getting a hold of the support team. Many vendors now utilize Slack across different organizations, and I would have loved to see strongDM do something similar.
This is a nitpick, but I would like to see more robust documentation around the Terraform provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nearly instant-on access control for all major infrastructure resources. Everything is auditable - you know who had access and when and what they did. Can be set up with no inbound firewall holes if needed. Continually improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

StrongDM team is very responsive to our needs. They respond almost immediately if we have a problem or a question. In addition to monthly meetings, we have cases follow-up meetings as well.
It's a friendly and pleasant team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Since StrongDM is a growing company, it's difficult to meet all the needs of every customer. There are times when we have a special request, but in those cases, the team immediately opens a feature request and updates us on the progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
