I thought it would disrupt my workflow but it hasn't!
What do you like best about the product?
I was worried it would disrupt my workflow but it didn't and it really only took about 10 minutes to configure and enable (as a user, not an admin). As a product manager, I'm constantly querying various databases. Sometimes I'll do it 20x / day, whereas other times I'll go days without writing SQL. The ability to just enable strongDM for the MySql database I need to hit and not have to worry about it again has been awesome.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have to switch between different VPNs to access different databases for different apps (weird, I know). It seems as though StrongDM doesn't like when I'm switching between VPNs, as sometimes it says I'm connected (and have the green bolt), but I'm unable to connect to the DB via Postico or SequelPro. If I quit StrongDM, restart my VPN connection, restart StrongDM, it seems to resolve the issue. This also needs to be done if I haven't connected to a DB for a number of days and then try to. It's a minor inconvenience, but worth noting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a product manager, there was a point where I lost access to read a copy of the prod database because we couldn't provide audit trail of my activity. We brought StrongDM on board and now I have read access again. I can't imagine doing my job with out it. There are so many times throughout the day I need to run ad hoc queries, it just would be awful to not have the right access. StrongDM allowed for my access (as a non-platform engineer) to happen.
