What do you like best about Teleport?

I've been using Teleport mainly for servers, applications, and databases. It's very easy to setup and I no longer need to explicitly add every user's ssh key into the servers for them to ssh into it. Now it's done through role access and permissions. The applications and databases feature is something I value as well since I no longer need to grant them direct access to the applications and dbs .. and now it all goes through Teleport with auditing enabled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

Too many teleport instances could be hard to manage and I had some challenges trying to setup trusted clusters for various teleport instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- bulk user access to servers and applications

- not exposing internal dbs to end users directly

- all activities are audited and can be reviewed for security purposes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Teleport?

Networking Opportunities, Threat and cluster Security, Open Sorce as a result of which a lot of more students and technical writers as well liek me are coming forward to contribute in it and get to knwo more about its infrastructure, functionslity and future reliability & then the Slack Teleport Community breaks all the bridging gap of communication between the developer team and the suers, customers nad the students who want to learn more about it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

Most of the folks and me myself is also very inpressed by its services and utilization but many of the folks sometimes find some problems related to the documentations and Update freequency, although i haven't find em much of the time but many of em' have said to find it sometimes otherwise for most of the time it runs smoothly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

By offering a centralized system for managing user identities, integrating with existing identity providers like for cloud-based identity services to leverage existing user management systems streamlining the onboarding and offboarding processes & ensuring that access is granted.

What do you like best about Teleport?

The Proxy Applications is my favorite feautre. That and Kubernetes access would be second. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

The Operator SSO resources do not allow SecretRefs for "secrets"! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Allows granting access to Kubernetes clusters and web applications served from those clusters without directly granting access. It allows the cluster and applications be completely private. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lexi Todde of Teleport

Thank you so much for your review! We're thrilled to hear that you appreciate the Proxy Applications feature and the benefits of Kubernetes access with Teleport. We've noted your feedback about the Operator SSO resources and will look into improving support for SecretRefs. It's great to know that Teleport is enabling you to securely manage access to private Kubernetes clusters and applications.

What do you like best about Teleport?

As a security researcher and consultant, I've reviewed countless platforms and solutions intended to address the evolving challenges of secure access. Gravitational Teleport stands out not only for its modern approach to the problem but also for the meticulous attention to detail evident in its design and implementation.

I also had the chance in the past to audit the Teleport codebase, and it revealed best-in-class software engineering practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

Teleport's comprehensive suite of features may introduce a layer of complexity that smaller teams might find overwhelming at first. While this could lead to underutilization of the platform's full capabilities, I personally witnessed some colleagues deploying Teleport even on their home network! With dedication and proper guidance it's entirely feasible for individual enthusiasts or small teams to harness its potential effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I recently advised on and audited a Teleport cluster deployment for a very large organization. This saved the customer's team potentially months or even years of development time that would have been spent on a subpar internal tool. Addressing secure access problems requires a significant degree of security expertise, and many internal security teams often lack the necessary resources to handle these issues appropriately.

What do you like best about Teleport?

The environments we currently have the Teleport service deployed in, are heavily reliant on AWS resources. With this being said, the Teleport application has numerous AWS integration features, that have enabled automated process around infrastructure discovery, inventory, and interaction. Having these key features at our hands, has increased overall environment insight and productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

There was a slight learning curve, when running the services in FIPs mode, and deploying the solution in a GovCloud environment. Seems theres limited documentation on doing this successfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Teleport has enabled us to check many of the boxes, in regards to FedRAMP readiness, regulation, and compliancy. Providing out of the boxes FIPs mode, has added an increase advantage for the team, and the Cisco Defense Orchestra Org. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Teleport?

What I like best about Teleport is its Universal Connectivity feature and the robustness of its Audit Logs. Universal Connectivity enables access to remote devices across various networks, which is particularly valuable in today's distributed environments. This feature aligns well with the diverse nature of modern infrastructure. Additionally, the platform's Audit Logs provide a comprehensive record of security events and session activities, offering a crucial tool for monitoring and analyzing potential security incidents. The combination of these features underscores Teleport's commitment to both accessibility and security, making it a standout solution for managing infrastructure access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

While Teleport offers numerous valuable features, one area that could be improved is the documentation regarding Ephemeral Certificates and Biometric Authentication. These innovative security measures are at the core of Teleport's enhanced access control, but if the documentation surrounding their implementation and usage is lacking, it might pose challenges for users who are trying to take full advantage of these features. Clear and comprehensive documentation would not only ensure that users can leverage these security enhancements effectively but also contribute to a smoother onboarding experience for new adopters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Teleport addresses several critical challenges that organizations face in managing infrastructure access. One of the standout benefits for me is how it simplifies the implementation of Single Sign-On (SSO) with clients. By utilizing Teleport's capabilities, I've been able to streamline the SSO process, enhancing the security and efficiency of authentication for both myself and my clients. This not only reduces the complexity of managing access but also strengthens the overall security posture. Teleport's ability to tackle this challenge has been particularly advantageous, demonstrating its capacity to provide practical solutions for real-world access management scenarios.

What do you like best about Teleport?

I like the option to a have a free version to start with. Single point of configuration for user accounts and access rights. It's easy to implement and start with. The audit option is easy to monitor and provide proof of work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

I would like to have the option to buy a small license for homelab usage. Features like RDP into machines without domain connection could have a hugh value to the users. Even Azure Entra ID connection could be interesting in homelab, as Microsoft provides a free developer license to tinker with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Having a one stop solution for manageing access rights was a hugh problem for us. We had a SSH bastion, a RDP Session host and a VPN solution to access these two systems. Teleport fixed all of this. One option for login, MFA and combined SSH, Windows and Application access are the most beneficial features for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Teleport?

We previously ran a custom SSH bastion that required manual intervention when adding new users & servers, but Teleport saved us by easily managing users and roles as well as the awesome security features it comes with - replacing SSH keys with robust SSH certificates that are short lived, which drastically improved our security posture.

When we started working with Kubernetes, access for developers to these clusters was simplified and strengthened with its support for Kubernetes clusters and PostgreSQL databases as well.

We also have some internal applications guarded by Teleport with its Application Access feature, where you can secure those applications behind Teleport's Auth server but securely access it over the public internet. It's truly amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

Honestly, I am yet to find any problem or fault with Teleport, no issues, perfectly works well for my organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- Secure access to servers with short lived SSH certificates and mandatory 2FA.

- Secure access to Kubernetes clusters and PostgreSQL databases in our organization.

- Access requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Teleport?

What we (and our users) like best about Teleport is that it unifies discovery of resources and actual access to it in one unified platform that is cloud agnostic and works the same for all (supported) services.

In our regulated industry, being able to set review-based access policies, and being able to do session recording/replay are major strong points as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

We operate on Microsoft Azure, which until recently (Teleport release 14.x) got very little support compared to AWS and GCP. In addition, the Kubernetes operator and Helm chart for Teleport (when not using the hosted/cloud product), while not terribly bad, could be better, especially around how secrets are managed/injected.

It unifies discovery of resources and actual access to it in one unified platform that is cloud agnostic and works the same for all (supported) services.

In our regulated industry, being able to set review-based access policies, and being able to do session recording/replay are two other problems that Teleport helps us solve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
