Teleport Reviews & Product Details

I appreciate Teleport's robust and fast onboarding process. The top-notch security features, including biometrics and 2FA, provide additional peace of mind. I find access to Kubernetes highly beneficial for my work. It effectively removes the operational and security friction associated with access management, making it invaluable for compliance through audits and session recordings. I also like that Teleport makes onboarding for new DevOps teams more straightforward by displaying a list of targets. Additionally, the product setup was very easy.

unified access platform with single secure identity based approach. Audit is really good and engineers can access servicse and db in one consistent workflow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

initial setup was quite hard and i found learning curve was quite heavy too Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

what i like most about teleport is how easy it makes secure access feel. i don’t have to deal with managing a bunch of ssh keys or jumping thru hoops just to get into servers or k8s clusters. it just works, and that saves me a lot of time and headache. also love the audit logs and how it works with sso. really solid tool tbh.

sometimes the initial setup can feel a bit confusing if you're new to access mgmt tools. had to read the docs a couple times to really get it right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Teleport provides secure, certificate-based access to servers, databases, and Kubernetes clusters without needing a VPN. The session recording and audit logging features are incredibly useful for compliance and troubleshooting. It also integrates well with SSO providers and enforces strong identity-based access control, which helps simplify security across our infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial setup can be quite complex, especially for teams new to infrastructure-level access control. Some configuration options aren’t intuitive, and it can take time to understand how everything fits together—especially with self-hosted deployments. Also, while the documentation is detailed, it can feel overwhelming and sometimes lacks practical examples for specific use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how it uses single sign on and role based access, so permissions stay tight and traceable. It also records sessions automatically, which is great for audits and keeping things transparent. Overall, it simplifies infrastructure access while keeping security front and center. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting it up initially was a bit complex, especially integrating with multiple cloud environments or SSO providers , it has a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Teleport allowed my organization to provide secure and manageable access (the only access) to a heterogenous group of resources. We have some k8s clusters, some cloud DB and some apps.

The very good SSO implementation (with roles mapping) was a decisive winner. It allow us to have team roles schema on our IDP and that was a highly sucessful and transformational change in our organization.

Our development and operations teams now have access to all they need and offboarding/onboardings within the teams are straightforward.

In addition, because roles can by highly configured, it allow us to have very good and proper security adequate resource access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I believe that still need improvement is the DB setup. Each DB type with a diferenciate setup makes it difficult to add new DB types.

Also, some UI changes, were not liked by our guys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool itself was great for access management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Teleport has decided to end support for its community edition after pushing users to adopt it and build their ecosystem. See: https://goteleport.com/blog/teleport-community-license/

Anyone self-hosting CE Teleport now just got completely screwed over as they have been locked into a surprise ~$70/seat bill for enterprise edition (plus implementation fee, even though you're already hosting it and just need a license key now)! Or, you could rebuild your entire network identiy management system on short notice instead!

This is a huge middle finger to anyone who adopted their solution early on and helped build their ecosystem. There's clearly immense revenue pressure at Gravitational right now and I would absolutely expect to be continuouly screwed over by them in any business relationship after this move.

Teleport allows us to control access to infrastructure in a secure and easy to use platform. It's very versatile as far as the variety of infrastructure it integrates with. The community Slack has been invaluable for finding solutions/assistance, and the Teleport team is quick to respond in Slack, patient, and willing to follow through with their support. We're using a self-hosted instance of the Community version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation can be slightly lacking at times and some of the configuration must be done manually, even through the UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Over the many years of using Teleport, it's been an essential piece of my infrastructure to help secure access, and centralize my infrastructure into one dashboard, without having to jump around. I can also classify resources using custom labels (which can use the output of commands or be a static value) which can directly feed into ACL's, I'm not sure how I could go without it.

Sometimes the UI doesn't show all the level of detail you'd expect, but on the other hand the docs are very detailed so more often than not, what I'm looking for is explained there, just means I need to do a bit of hunting around. Regrettably, I'm still stuck on the Community Edition as Enterprise edition is cost prohibitive for my use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The whole philosophy of zero trust approach in combination with delightful user experience for both the security team auditing the perimeter and the end user the devops engineer who uses the tool on a regular basis Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, the best option on the market for modern startups running cloud workload! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
