"Great support"

4.5/5

What do you like best about StrongDM?

Very helpful support. They are quick to reply, friendly, and understanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StrongDM?

It's extra friction getting access to the database. However, its purpose is to add an extra layer of security, so it's serving its purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Straightforward & easy to deploy."

4.5/5

What do you like best about StrongDM?

Purchasing StrongDM is as easy as implementing it. Transparent pricing and ease of purchase makes this more appealing than all other "enterprise" PAM out there. -- It does access control and logging while allowing our developers to use their own favorite tools. Something that can't be said for all other PAMs we have explored.

We requested a minor feature to make StrongDM work in our envrionment. We waited about a month or so to get this feature shipped! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StrongDM?

A more granular permission system & connectivity configuration would be nice. Low-level error messages should be sent to StrongDM instead of forcing sysadmins to SSH into relays. Advanced log (e.g. ship logs to S3) costs extra. Additional scripting is required to get everything archived in S3. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"StrongDM - One of the best Access platforms out there"

4/5

What do you like best about StrongDM?

StrongDM provides a complete platform for managing access to infrastructure of all types. More traditional IT as well as modern cloud platforms such as AWS and Kubernetes. It integrates with identity systems and supports SCIM so you can continue to manage access controls in your existing IdP platforms.

Their customer support is very responsive even off hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StrongDM?

There are a few limitations in the UI for viewing access assignments from a user to a specific resource. Roles are used to assign resources to users but when you view a user, you can't see the resources they have, only the roles. It requires some CLI work to get the end to end picture. For this reason it's important to avoid using a lot of different roles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We cannot give users passwords to systems and must maintain separation of duties. This product allows us to give our developers access to databses without managing individual credentials on every databsae. We have over 50 databsaes and hundreds of users. We aren't a huge company with a dedicated team to manage access requests. This product lets us easily manage access.

The other huge benefit is auditing. We are audited annually and this product gives us an audit trail of who accessed what resource and in some cases, what they executed against a particular resource (e.g. SQL, Shell commands)

Lastly, we have a lot of non-technical people who have to access databases to run queries. The Windows client is very simply to use for our non-technical people. No CLI required, just view list of resources and "connect" as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible and easy to deployment product. Easy to use and deployment easy to understand the platform."

5/5

What do you like best about StrongDM?

Easy deployment. Flexible platform compatible with multiple platforms such as cloud, Infrastructure Network Website, and Servers. StrongDM deployment is far easier compared to the competitor in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StrongDM?

There some a lot of limitations on the platform, but the easy deployment made it good for DAM & PAM platform. StrongDM will be better if they have some audit user type and role based access control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
