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.

Access management has improved privileged logins while still needing fewer crashes and less upkeep
Reviewed on Feb 23, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
My use case for StrongDM is Privileged Access Management . I have privileged accounts because I am working for the Identity and Access Management team at my company. As an engineer, I have really privileged or elevated accounts for which I need my account onboarded to StrongDM , so I have to regularly use it.
What is most valuable?
The best features in StrongDM are the password rotation capabilities, which I think are pretty cool, and also how you can literally log in to any of the privileged servers through a single platform. You just copy-paste the IP and the port number and log in over there through RDP, so I think that's pretty cool. I have used CyberArk before, but I think StrongDM as a product has pretty good potential.
My impression of the credential-less access control is that it's pretty good because it reduces the attack surface. Basically, if you cannot see the password and everything, even the privileged users cannot see the password. It's a password-less system where you just log in to the servers without knowing your password, and even if you know your password, it's probably going to be rotated after a while. So, I think that's a pretty good use case for reducing the attack surface and maintaining zero trust throughout an identity perimeter.
StrongDM helps with runtime features in a twenty-four-seven dynamic environment. Whenever I try to access at maybe two a.m. or three a.m. at night and I have a production issue on a server located in a different continent, I can access it right at that moment. I think the application works pretty much like a charm. It's readily available, and I think the runtime feature is pretty cool, although the application sometimes crashes when it's downloaded locally on your machine.
Regarding pricing, I find StrongDM to be definitely cost-efficient. We used to use CyberArk before, but StrongDM is more cost-effective, which is why we are using it. Our director is a board member at StrongDM, allowing us to utilize the product and the flexibility it provides, which tailor-suits our needs based on the organization and is something we do not get from other PAM products.
What needs improvement?
StrongDM regularly requires patches and maintenance, but I think that's a good question for the PAM architects in our organization.
If you guys could offer only a cloud-native solution, you would likely cater to different organizations. That could grow the product more.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using StrongDM for the last one or one and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I think the stability of StrongDM is about four to five due to the occasional crashes that I mentioned. The gateway sometimes crashes, and you are unable to retrieve passwords, which I hope they address in the future as the product evolves.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Regarding scalability, it's difficult for me to assess because we are a mid-sized organization. Although we have many users, we only have a limited number of privileged accounts that StrongDM caters to. If a larger organization such as Microsoft or Dell adopted it, there would be more privileged accounts, showing the product's potential to grow if issues in maintenance and crashing are resolved.
How are customer service and support?
I would rate the technical support seven to eight, for sure.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have used CyberArk before. While CyberArk has a lot of fine-grain solutions, the problem is it lacks flexibility. CyberArk is fantastic and has been around for a long time, but it doesn't offer the tailored solution that different organizations need because every organization behaves in different ways. StrongDM provides that flexibility, as it is still growing and works on feedback to help integrate with your environment.
What other advice do I have?
I would assess StrongDM's ability to unify access across different systems in my organization as pretty good, despite sometimes facing issues using the platform, probably because of maintenance. Sometimes you are not able to retrieve the password, so it has happened. I'm not going to say that it's a perfect product, but I think they're slowly getting better, and as I said, in the future, this product has potential for hybrid solutions in my company, especially after they got acquired by Delinea.
Regarding the continuous runtime authorization feature, I haven't utilized that feature in the product myself, but someone else in the organization has. I mostly work with StrongDM as an end user who has privileged accounts onboarded.
I believe the importance of continuous authorization versus periodic checks is significant. Automatic credential rotation means we do not have to worry about manual checks repeatedly. It is a good solution for continuous authorization, although the challenge remains about how it will support larger organizations with many enterprise privileged accounts.
I would definitely recommend StrongDM, especially for mid-sized to small organizations. If it's a large organization, I would suggest having them view a demo to see if they are ready to adopt it as a product. My overall review rating for StrongDM is seven out of ten.

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like the great documentation and responsive support from StrongDM. The tool itself solves a big problem for us by providing control over data store access. I appreciate having a tool that values support and long-term relationships, which is important as we intend to spread the use of the technology widely. The initial setup was also easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the UI could be more intuitive and visually appealing. A better user experience for the desktop app would be great. Adding features like a list and grid view, a dark mode view, and icons related to the type of resource to access would make it nicer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use StrongDM to provision access control for AWS data stores, providing a unified access point for engineers. It gives us control over data stores access, backed by great documentation and responsive support.
