Share your experience using senhasegura Access Management

I use Teleport to replace the normal authentication mechanism as part of a zero-trust architecture. It is particularly useful because, in a remote environment, I cannot trust any devices. I can share access remotely with anyone via a browser for more secure tracking of data.

Teleport has replaced earlier methods like a bastion server or a jump server, which required connecting to physical servers. It integrates well with single sign-on (SSO) and Ansible Playbooks, allowing me to manage inventories easily. 

Teleport provides a straightforward setup process with a single command line, making it easier to manage the onboarding and offboarding of team members.

I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews. 

Additionally, while the backend worker can be upgraded, there is a limitation with scaling, as it supports only a single node even in Kubernetes.

I have been using Teleport for two years.

Initially, there were stability issues when integrating with single sign-on and storing sessions. After resolving them, Teleport has been stable.

Teleport supports only a single node in the Kubernetes environment, which limits its scalability. It is straightforward for single standalone components, however, the UI component cannot be upgraded directly.

Previously, I used a jump server and accessed systems with an SSH key and a normal VM login. 

I switched to Teleport since colleagues and friends recommended it, highlighting its enterprise-level capabilities.

The initial setup was straightforward due to my expertise in Linux, particularly Red Hat and Ubuntu operating systems. I found the setup to be very easy.

With Teleport, my time spent on onboarding and offboarding has reduced significantly. I no longer need to manually manage access, which saves time and effort.

Another option I considered was HashiCorp's Boundary, however, it had a complex setup that was difficult for beginners. Teleport's straightforward setup was more appealing.

I rate Teleport nine out of ten. 

Security-wise, it is very secure and easy to use for remote access. I recommend it for its straightforward setup and strong security features.

It is for Single Sign-on and Multi-Factor Authentication.

It is very easy to log in to all my various corporate accounts through Okta Platform. This helps me because I do not need to have any password. I just simply log into Okta Platform which has a single sign-on capability.

This helps us whenever our employees, our new employees come into the company. On first login, when they come into the company, they have access to all our corporate accounts already once they have their corporate account. They can log into their various productivity and corporate applications. This helps ease the burden from our IT support team to have to onboard someone manually. When someone leaves the company, having an IT team have to remove their access one by one is a very difficult process. Okta Platform Lifecycle Management helps us offboard those employees who have left the company more easily.

It would be great if there were a way to save even my social media passwords and other passwords through Okta Platform and single sign-on through Okta Platform in the future. I do not think they have this capability just yet.

I have been using this for six years.

There were some alternatives like JumpCloud and Ping Identity that we were evaluating. However, since we are a partner, we prefer Okta Platform. There is a bias towards Okta Platform.

I would say the setup difficulty was in the middle, depending on circumstances. For us, it was quite simple because we had everything in place. We just needed to integrate the Single Sign-on and the directory with our Google Workspace or our current IDP. It was pretty straightforward and took a couple of days.

Regarding pricing, as mentioned, we are a partner, so we do get a special big discount as a partner versus other customers.

There were some alternatives like JumpCloud and Ping Identity that we were evaluating.

Okta Platform is a great product and one of the best. We are a partner and have been using it for six years. We have four engineers on our team. We do not use the PAM and do not need it. I would rate this product nine out of ten.
