StrongDM allows for a secure but rapid rollout of new services
What do you like best about the product?
As we build, test, roll out, and sometimes roll back various new products and services, StrongDM lets us distribute connectivity to our developers quickly
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to see more dynamic local network DNS configuration
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
fast, managed service access/restriction
StrongDM just works!
What do you like best about the product?
The management of the system is so simple and easy. It's no burden at all to manage because every from installation to maintenance is a breeze. And their support is the best I've ever worked with. I always tell everyone the same thing...if something is wrong, there will be 4 StrongDM engineers on a zoom call with you within 5 minutes to help troubleshoot. Everytime something was wrong, it ended up being our own misunderstanding or network misconfiguration....StrongDM is rock solid!
They have also taken our feedback very serious and worked aggressively to add features to their product that we asked for (within reason).

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. Seriously. I truly have nothing bad to say about StrongDM.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
StrongDM takes away the burden of having to manage a VPN. IT's also safer than a VPC since it links users directly to endpoints, instead of allowing users to enter an entire network. They also provide a great audit trail about what users do, once connected to resources. This makes compliance reporting much easier to generate.
SDM is great, it just works!
What do you like best about the product?
We like that StrongDM is simple to use for admins and end users. For the most part, we don't notice SDM is there, which is exactly what we want. Users that were initially skeptical have been impressed and prefer StrongDM to the old way of doing things.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much we dislike, overall its great. The 2 features that could use some more attention are the websites and RDP, not what we purchased SDM for though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our primary focus was secure, revokable and short lived ssh access to resources. No more sprawling SSH keys, and database access is a lot easier and more secure.
Incredible product with an incredible team behind it!
What do you like best about the product?
When we started evaluating access control tools, strongDM quickly became our top choice because of the tool's maturity, and we felt like the capabilities were unmatched when compared with alternatives. As a result, we hit our access control and monitoring goals in half the time we estimated initially!
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a single point of failure, but despite the tool being stable, strongDM is very open about planning for redundancy and having a contingency plan. We also ran across some bugs with additional tools provided by strongDM during our implementation, but they were incredibly receptive and quick regarding fixes!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Right now, we have several concerns about access and controls since we're part of a fully remote company. StrongDM helps give us a lot of piece of mind and allows us to regulate and introspect access to our critical systems deeply.
Amazing product with a great team
What do you like best about the product?
strongDM's product is extremely intuitive and powerful. We use it to manage remote access to customer sites; auditing and RBAC are crucial for our use case, and these features are baked right into the product and are easy to use. We can set up approval workflows using AccessBot's native features or custom workflows using the API. Everyone at the company that we've worked with -- Sales, Customer Success, and Support -- is passionate about the product and great to work with. I would recommend strongDM, both as a product and a company, to anyone looking to secure access to their infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, strongDM is a SaaS-only offering. While I prefer the SaaS offering since it greatly simplifies the architecture on our end, we have some customers requesting that we run an on-prem solution. This is currently in the works on their side but not available yet. While competing products offer on-prem solutions, strongDM's product is vastly superior, so switching to a competing on-prem solution would be a last resort.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
strongDM gives us secure remote access to customer environments while providing auditing and RBAC.
StrongDM is a swiss knife for server infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
There is no need in using VPN for accessing server infrastructure. It's all in-one: SSH, RDP, PSQL, VNC etc. Different access levels for different groups of staff. Audit logs for everything! We love it!))
What do you dislike about the product?
In theory it's a single point of failure - SPF. But it works pretty stable and I don't remember any work interruption in past few months. We're waiting the support of Android and iOS. Hopefully - they will be supported soon
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No more VPNs for accessing server infrastructure! Access permissions for different groups of staff and audit logs - solve security issues for our Team.
A product which works with great customer support
What do you like best about the product?
As described in the title, their product works! It works as expected - no magic, or wasted hours. Better than that, their customer support was there with us all the time, and our success was their priority. Their onboarding process is great!
What do you dislike about the product?
Since the beginning of our relationship, which was great, we had not hit any problems. We had scheduled meetings to check our progress and sessions that could be used to provide feedback or ask for help. We felt they were there for us if we needed them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
StrondDM helped our developers to have access to resources "behind the iron curtain" - no public access, safely and easily. Their systray application is a great differential. Developers just need to click and chose what they want to have access to. You are able to audit access. Finally, they integrate with your IdP of choice, in our case OKTA and support SCIM.
Colby strongdm review
What do you like best about the product?
Simple pricing model. Good user experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
The local app could benefit from a search function.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's making our remote access more secure while also being a better user experience.
Easy and secure unified access control
What do you like best about the product?
strongDM unified our access methods across a variety of production instances, gave us more granular control over that access, and simplified the process for the dev team. It's rare to see a product that improves security and usability at the same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's possible to go off the rails in specific ways. We mistagged our instances early on and ran into some filtering issues. The strongDM team has been excellent at adding features at our request and addressing these usability issues quickly, though. The core of their offering is solid, and any issues we had around the outside were easy to fix.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our infrastructure includes deployments across hybrid, public, and private cloud. Using strongDM allows our entire team to log into all of our environments in the same way, and allows us to grant just in time access to an on-call developer.
Great tool for simplifying, standardizing, and controlling access
What do you like best about the product?
* The tool is easy to configure - both UI and IAC are well-designed
* End users can easily see what they have access to, and there's good documentation on how to use it.
* Fantastic support. Very responsive and helpful.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the integrations (databases, SSH, K8s) can unsurprisingly work a bit differently from one another and require custom scripting to work with developer tooling.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to provide access for hundreds of users to thousands of resources in a way that is easy to scale, secure, and auditable. It also has to reflect our access requirements and only provide the access a user needs.
