    Essential Access Control with Stellar Support

    Reviewed on Jan 27, 2026
    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.

    Simple, Stable Access Management That Just Works

    Reviewed on Jan 23, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I'm a user of StrongDM which my company set up for us. Simplicity of mapping remote ports/servers to local port, easy to ssh and connect to databases. It's been stable and I almost don't notice it's there. Customer support responds quickly and patiently helped me solve my problem.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Nothing for now, it's been working great.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    I no longer need to keep track of the url and port of a hundred remote servers, databases and machines.

    Simplified Secure Access with Audit-Ready Reporting

    Reviewed on Jan 22, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    StrongDM makes access management simple and secure across databases, servers, and cloud tools. The setup process was straightforward, and onboarding has been smooth for both admins and developers. I also appreciate the centralized audit logs and fine-grained access controls, which save a lot of time and make it easier to manage permissions consistently. Overall, it feels like a reliable, scalable tool for modern teams.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    SDM is not supported Azure Databricks onboarding with Entra Redirect and Login which is pure need for fintech services. Also the Azure storage account we are not also able to on board onto SDM.

    If this is implemented then for fintech is a game changer.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    StrongDM effectively solves access management challenges for our critical fintech production data. The lightweight, user-friendly local client makes development seamless—installation is simple, and connecting to resources via host and dynamic port is effortless. Audit-ready reporting provides clear visibility into who accessed what and when, along with structured access revocation workflows. Overall, it’s a secure, reliable, and developer-friendly solution.

    User-Friendly with a Need for SDM Client Install

    Reviewed on Nov 15, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I find StrongDM extremely user-friendly, which makes managing privileged access a seamless experience. The certificate authentication feature enhances security and reduces the risk of unauthorized access, giving me additional peace of mind. I am pleased with the gateway installation process, which is well-structured and contributes to the solution's effectiveness in managing server access. Additionally, I appreciate how easy the initial setup of StrongDM is, allowing me to get started quickly and efficiently without any complications.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    I find the client-based setup of StrongDM somewhat inconvenient. It requires installing the SDM client for accessing target resources, which may add an unnecessary step in my workflow.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    I use StrongDM for Privileged Access Management and solving server access problems. It provides benefits like certificate authentication and gateway installation, making the setup easy and user-friendly.

    Simplifies Onboarding and Reduces Credential Sprawl

    Reviewed on Oct 17, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    StrongDM allows us to reduce credential sprawl and simplify the onboarding of new servers and staff. As with any security solution, users don't like friction or having to change how they work. However, StrongDM allows our engineers to continue using the same tools as they have always used with the added security benefits of MFA and JIT access.

    Whenever we have experienced an issue, support have been proactive in responding and are always keen to help us find a solution.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Sometimes the documentation site navigation can be tricky to navigate. I think the information is there, but I find myself going through a search engine to get to it.

    Including CI/CD and machine access without having to purchase extra licences would be nice to see.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    We were plagued with credential sprawl and administrative overheads when provisioning new servers, and had no good process for revoking access once staff left the organisation.
    Now we can rest easy knowing that once a user is disabled in StrongDM it takes all access with it.
