What do you like best about Teleport?

Teleport is a well-rounded solution, with specific high points in the number and type of resources it can manage, the product's scalability, the vast number of plugins it can use for user access control, and the product's modularity.

The CLI experience is fantastic, and the UI - including the http server, the access control rules, and the simple configuration files, make the initial setup simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

When using the on-prem solution - which is ideal from an end compliance perspective - It works best when you have a team with a dedicated resource or resources to manage the teleport infrastructure and user access. While this is well documented, the solution's modularity means it's also a bit complicated to get up and running. Maintenance requires someone at least familiar with the product, and there's a steep learning curve.

The OSS product has also gotten less powerful as Teleport has reduced its scope to add more value to the enterprise product. This is understandable, but my team has slowly reduced our Teleport footprint as we don't want to invest the money in the enterprise solution for small-scale solutions more efficiently served by in-house solutions or VPN based access control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Teleport to restrict and manage access to internal resources in our cloud product with easy and scalable provisioning for automated deployment. The included audit log and CLI access mean we don't need a secondary auditing solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Teleport?

My organization really appreciates that we can have very straightforward authn/authz with RBAC in front of our cloud and on-prem resources using Teleport. Deployment on Kubernetes using the official helm chart is a breeze. Setting up agents on Kubernetes using the helm chart is a breeze. Setting up agents on ordinary Linux machines is a breeze. The guided setup for resources like RDS is phenomenal. It's all so easy!

We love having access to the audit logs and controlling access to internal systems, especially databases, without needing to poke holes in firewalls/security groups. The user experience is pretty fantastic when Teleport Connect is used. It's much more straightforward than having a business user generate an SSH key, keep it secure, and remember to set up a tunnel through a bastion host whenever they want to connect to internal resources.

The frequency of meaningful updates to Teleport is excellent. The Teleport team works diligently to stay on top of the security concerns around a platform such as this. I also appreciate that the Teleport web UI indicates when a new version is available, making security updates particularly noticeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

Honestly, I don't have anything bad to say about Teleport. We have been using the self-hosted open-source version for a few months on Kubernetes, and it has been rock solid. We don't have it configured for high availability, so when we apply updates, our users can experience a brief interruption in access. However, that is certainly not a problem with Teleport itself. We haven't taken the time to meet the requirements for a proper highly available cluster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Teleport secures access to specific resources for specific users with short-lived access credentials. We can see who performed what action against which resource and when they did it. It's glorious! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Teleport?

The ability to shield our infra through a single, secure jump box is a great feature. Having the option to audit users in such a precise way has the greatest potential benefits for our business. The documentation is really well put together and I am confident the team at Teleport will continue to develop new useful features in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

The platform requires tremendous buy-in from your stakeholders. This can't really be helped, but some supporting literature to help nudge key people would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Teleport provides a broad, safe bastion to control user access and control. The ability to review other developers changes is the most exciting ability. We are looking at deployment in the near future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Teleport?

Teleport helped me to connect from anywhere and one can connect to remote devices on different networks. it also helped me to identify any security incidents and threats with the help of audit logs. great tool for access management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

We haven't faced any issues with Teleport and we only used their community /freemium version. We found the price on the higher side and thats why we couldn't continue. Hopefully, they will keep updating the tool which would eliminate any downsides and keeps on improving it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Basically we have been looking for a tool for identity and access management. We thought of giving Teleport a try and got the freemium version. We used to have different passwords for different applications and accessing those application was a lot of hassle but with teleport, it became easy to manage those password for different applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Teleport?

The best in teleport is its easy use—no need to do any workshops for your co-workers, whether an application or a node. The second thing I like is the excellent, responsive support willing to help. What is also remarkable is that users don't store any keys and passwords on their disk, just short-lived certificates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

The documentation may be more organized; sometimes, it needs to visit a few pages until I find what I need. The information is in the docs, but I must search for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Teleport solves user management problems on the endpoints. No need to create a user on a machine or expose it to the internet. It's way more secure than before when I had to tell any machine, redirect some ports, or attach to the public interface. Just run teleport and grant the role to the user.

We're glad to hear that you find Teleport user-friendly and easy to manage. Our goal is to make integrations and maintenance as seamless as possible. We understand that constant upgrades can be disruptive, and we're continuously working to minimize any impact on your environment.

What do you like best about Teleport?

It was Super easy to get started with teleport. We followed their guide and got our bastion host set up in a day. We added the ability to sign in with github which makes our workflow for securing our hosts super easy. We now only have to remove access to github and the ability for someone to deploy has been removed. Really cool for an open source project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

Setting up github actions didn't work for us. Everything in the guide worked when we started a brand new repo, but in the end we had to bail on using this feature because there was no way we could figure out how to debug teleport on the bastian host. That being said, I think it would have worked if we had started from scratch on a brand new repo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Teleport removes the need for us to pass around ssh keys or adding them to our AWS account unnecessarily. But it does it so well. It fixed the next problems we didn't know we would have by making it super easy to manage people as they come and go from our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
