Find out in this report how the two Access Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
I can definitely say that it saved us time, and a lot of it. Probably months worth of time in engineering and IT support.
The onboarding of temporary privileged access accelerated significantly, allowing us to release consultants much faster than before, saving considerable money.
We need fewer employees now because StrongDM saves our time by eliminating manual work.
They responded quickly to issues and were readily available for calls rather than waiting for email confirmations.
The technical support is responsive and knowledgeable.
They also have very good documentation, where they often ask us to refer to a particular document but can provide excellent on-call support.
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.
StrongDM's scalability is impressive; it is highly available, and we never perceived any latency issues.
StrongDM has very large and good scalability, capable of providing a million data in a second, showcasing its great scalability.
The gateway sometimes crashes, and you are unable to retrieve passwords.
StrongDM is very stable; I cannot recall experiencing a glitch.
I rate the stability of the product five out of ten because crashes sometimes happen when we are working on it.
StrongDM has limited MFA and passwordless options, relying heavily on time-based one-time passwords (OTP) or Duo, lacking support for true passwordless setups like biometrics or hardware YubiKeys, and it does not support per-session MFA.
It would be beneficial to have better control and alignment between frequent updates and improved communication regarding possible negative effects on existing customer bases.
It is difficult to find documentation or materials to review how it works, and there is less product material available in the market.
The setup cost was free, with technical staff aiding our onboarding, requiring us only to cover the license fee.
It was mentioned that while the product is rapidly gaining features, it might become cost-prohibitive for wider usage.
My thoughts on the pricing of StrongDM is that it is expensive.
Dynamic policy adjustment works for me by automatically modifying data loss prevention and access rules as context or user risk levels shift, making my job easier and more effective.
One of the most powerful tools in StrongDM is audit logging.
Just-in-Time Access is the primary feature that works well and makes life easier for us here at LivePerson.
The best features for us are the centralized access control and the detailed audit logging, which allow us to provide temporary privileged access without managing VPNs ourselves.
