Access management has become intuitive and just-in-time onboarding now saves months of effort
Reviewed on May 04, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
At this point, we are using StrongDM solely as a PAM solution. We are looking into ways to expand that and to use other features of the product to meet other demands we have in security, but that is a work in progress.
What is most valuable?
I absolutely would say that the best features of StrongDM and what I appreciate about the solution is that time to onboard is absolutely minimal. The timeframe it takes from no StrongDM to having StrongDM in the organization was swift. The product is very intuitive and easy to use for developers, which was one of the criteria that we felt was really important. The security features, as in the expected features of StrongDM, work flawlessly. Just-in-Time Access is the primary feature that works well and makes life easier for us here at LivePerson .
The impression of the credential-less access control is positive. It is painless, positive, and fast, but mainly it has reduced our time to onboard developers and to maintain any credentials to a minimum. Previously we had to issue a bunch of tickets and grant access, which was IT work and could take days. Now it is instantaneous.
What needs improvement?
With StrongDM, I think there are areas that may have room for improvement. That is a tough position because I have never had a vendor that I had so little feedback on. They are truly good. The only thing is with recent happenings, they have been acquired by a company, but nothing changed for the worse. I cannot provide any feedback to improve on anything.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using StrongDM for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Regarding stability, I would rate it a nine.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
StrongDM is a scalable solution, and it depends on the deployment. For scalability from zero to ten, I would rate it a seven.
How are customer service and support?
From one to ten, I rate their technical support as an eight.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
In comparing StrongDM with other solutions, the only other points of reference I have are CyberArk and SailPoint. SailPoint is not a PAM solution, so we will not include that. Compared to CyberArk, StrongDM is far more modern. It is far less clunky. It requires less maintenance of infrastructure. I would say it is plain better. I am also very biased against CyberArk because I absolutely dislike that product.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was on Google Cloud Platform. The deployment was straightforward and easy. As with any deployment, you do have some minor quirks here and there, but compared to whatever we had before, that was an absolute breeze. Mean time to deployment is negligible.
What about the implementation team?
We are a customer.
What was our ROI?
When it comes to return on investment, questions of that nature are really difficult to quantify. I have not done a dollar to time saved assessment. I can definitely say that it saved us time, and a lot of it. Probably months worth of time in engineering and IT support. Return of investment in two years, we perhaps broke even.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My thoughts on the pricing of StrongDM is that it is expensive. Coming from knowing the landscape of the market, it is not that they are not competitive. They are still very expensive. That does not mean they are not expensive. Their pricing model is per seat, so that is per user, and it is pretty steep. I do not think that it is any different from any other PAM provider of this caliber.
What other advice do I have?
My advice for others looking into StrongDM is to do incredibly thorough due diligence on use cases and scenarios for your own internal use before you begin a proof of concept. You need to be crystal clear about what you want to achieve, how you want to achieve it, and when. Additionally, communication with your own engineers is critical, because that is a major overhaul to how engineers access their infrastructure. I cannot overstate this enough: you need to communicate with your own engineers to understand their needs before you do a proof of concept with StrongDM or any other PAM solution. I would rate this product an eight overall.

What do you dislike about the product?
Customized reporting should be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use StrongDM for managing and creating privilege accounts, streamlining server, and DB logins.

Secure access to hybrid servers has improved oversight but now needs simpler setup and better guides
Reviewed on Apr 16, 2026
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
My use case involves a company I'm working in that wants to secure the connectivity between the DevOps team and the backend server in the company.
What is most valuable?
The best features in StrongDM are that it is the easiest product in the market for this situation with easy access. The DevOps team only needs to log in through StrongDM with credentials, and then I can control everything after this, including what they are doing inside our servers, their movements, their actions, and everything I can see. One of the most powerful tools in StrongDM is audit logging. I can handle everything and see all that happened inside their movement on the backend server in our company.
What needs improvement?
In StrongDM, I think the installation was hard, and they want to be more flexible in the initial setup. I think they want to add more features like traditional PAM. It is difficult to find documentation or materials to review how it works, and there is less product material available in the market.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for seven months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the stability of the product five out of ten because crashes sometimes happen when we are working on it.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate scalability five as well.
How are customer service and support?
I rate technical support seven out of ten because their response takes much more time than usual. However, at the end, they can help. I think they want to reduce their support staff.
How was the initial setup?
The deployment is neither easy nor complex; I think it is in the middle.
What about the implementation team?
I am not deploying it, as someone deployed it for me, but I think they put it in the default credential access.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I compare StrongDM with other vendors like CyberArk or Okta, and I think CyberArk is a heavy PAM. If all my product is on-premises and not cloud and premises, CyberArk will be good for that. However, with StrongDM, I think it is better to work on cloud and on-premises at the same time. I recommend CyberArk if your environment is all on-premises.
What other advice do I have?
I am not using the continuous runtime authorization feature, as I think it is not enabled.
I have my servers on-premises and on AWS .
For now, I think it is about 53 or 54 users who use the solution.
StrongDM requires maintenance. In terms of maintenance, it is easy. I think it is easy to maintain, but it is hard to know how to do it because the materials are less than anything in the market. Other vendors' materials are available in the market, but StrongDM materials are not as readily available.
I rate StrongDM overall six out of ten because I think it is the only product that can mix or be hybrid between on-premises and cloud on the market. I think it is a stable product on the market.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)

What do you like best about the product?
I like how StrongDM helps us securely manage and control access to critical infrastructures like databases and servers. It enforces least-privilege access, eliminates shared credentials, and provides centralized auditing and visibility. I appreciate that the deployment cycle is short and pretty straightforward. The architecture is non-complicated, and it reduces dependency on servers. The initial setup was very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Operationalizing StrongDM can be improved. We need to have accelerators to streamline the operational processes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use StrongDM to securely manage and control access to critical infrastructures, enforce least-privilege access, and eliminate shared credentials while providing centralized auditing and visibility. It addresses standing privileges, high license costs from competitors, and offers easy deployment.
