I like that we can use it to broker access to our various Kubernetes clusters without having to open inbound access to the API servers. I also like that we can assign teleport roles to users and those groups are passed along to the Kubernetes API server and we can map them to Roles/ClusterRoles Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Teleport doesnt currently have support for headless logins (no web browser) when working with kubernetes clusters. However I understand that headless logins work for accessing other types of resources (SSH) so I'm hopeful that this can be done for K8 in the future too Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Teleport has been quick to setup, while giving us confidence in improving security across our platform.

The Teleport customer service and community is often quick to assist, and they're generally always on top of feature requests and ensuring they're supporting the most recent technologies within their intergrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OIDC is behind the enterprise tier, given the nature of the product, this should be something avaliable by default across all tiers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's effortless to use. I am able to give access to remote desktops or other applications to end users who might not be so technically inclined. It works with pretty much everything I would want to secure, databases, ssh, remote desktops - I can monitor everyone's access to everything. Bringing on contracted developers or administrators is much easier knowing that everything they do is recorded and they only have access to what they need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of moving parts. Set up on anything but Kubernetes is a chore if you want it on your own hardware. I would love to have a docker stack I can deploy for testing or smaller installations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our organization greatly values the simplicity and effectiveness of Teleport's authentication and authorization system with RBAC, which seamlessly manages access to both our cloud and on-premises resources. Deploying Teleport on Kubernetes using the official helm chart is effortless, and the same can be said for setting up agents on both Kubernetes and regular Linux machines. The guided setup for resources like RDS is truly outstanding, simplifying the process even further. In short, Teleport makes everything remarkably easy.

One of the standout features we appreciate is the access to audit logs and the ability to control access to internal systems, particularly databases, without the need to modify firewalls or security groups. The user experience is fantastic, especially when utilizing Teleport Connect. It eliminates the complexities of generating and securing SSH keys, as well as the hassle of setting up a tunnel through a bastion host every time a business user wants to connect to internal resources.

Additionally, Teleport impresses us with the frequency of meaningful updates, demonstrating the Teleport team's commitment to staying on top of security concerns associated with such a platform. We also find it commendable that the Teleport web UI promptly notifies us when a new version is available, ensuring that we are aware of essential security updates.

The YAML files can be tricky to maintain as they become verbose for all user groups. We did some custom automation but wished Teleport would have something in-house. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Self Hosted

Support for a large array of endpoints (PostgreSQL, Oracle, Mongo, Redis, cloud or self hosted ones, Applications, Windows VMs, Linux boxes, K8S, MacOS, etc.)

Ready to Go in 10 minutes

Session Recording, Audit Logs, "Over The Shoulder" feature for access, to supervise the occasional access

Extremely flexible user/role management

Nothing major locked behind the Enterprise version Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The project is moving fast, so sometimes documentation might not be up to date, luckily it's easy enough for any tech person to figure it out, or contact the support fellows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
