System and DBA at a energy/utilities company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Enhanced security through session monitoring and activity recording
From an end-user point of view, it would be beneficial if the system could provide information about the last login. This would help identify if the server was accessed by me or if someone has potentially stolen my credentials. It would provide a clearer picture of whether ARCON Privileged Access Management is accessed by an authentic user.
Yess Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
SRE at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Centralized access has strengthened security and simplified day-to-day infrastructure operations
Teleport has been a solid and secure access management solution, but there are a few areas that could be improved, particularly around the initial setup and RBAC configuration. Beyond onboarding and RBAC complexity, there are areas that could be enhanced from an integration perspective. While SSO integration works well, deeper out-of-the-box integrations with SIEM and monitoring tools would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Overall, aside from the lack of password management, this solution is the best."
"The solution was suited for the purpose when we evaluated it, and it has also evolved to meet the different needs, additional needs."
"Whatever we have paid, it is value for money."
"Pricing and licensing are good, very aggressive."
"By manually keeping the user logs, we can understand and manage all the operationalized tasks."
"For our requirements, this is the best product out there."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"The session management capabilities are helpful. The session recording feature for system handling is good. It also eliminates the need to open many ports for end-users, simplifying access."
"Teleport changed our workflow by centralizing access control and reducing manual SSH key management."
"Teleport definitely reduced the risks; we are no longer exposing root-level accounts for people that are meant to have an elevated account."
"Teleport has replaced earlier methods like a bastion server or a jump server, which required connecting to physical servers."
"Teleport changed our workflow by centralizing access control and reducing manual SSH key management."
"The best features include its main capabilities such as collecting actions and showing others what you did on the server, an easy way to connect to any bare-metal servers, and the ability to describe which servers you can use and who can connect to these servers."
"Regarding how Teleport has positively impacted my organization, I have learned a lot of things through it, I understand how to deliver and receive content, and I have learned many things related to RF signals where we lose packets."
"Teleport has positively impacted my organization by being very helpful for productivity and team collaboration, especially since the old tool we used took a lot of time to get approvals."
"I would definitely advise others looking into using Teleport to try it out if they are seeking a tunneling or proxying solution to streamline obtaining access without dealing with DNS or SSH, as it is straightforward to install, can be tested in various environments, and is a truly exceptional product that is easy to use."
 

Cons

"The deployment process is a bit complex because no document is available."
"Bulk password automation is not available in ARCON when compared to other products."
"They need to support all web browsers. At the moment it only supports Explorer, IE."
"There are some features lacking but they typically are added when the upgrades are released."
"This product is lacking in terms of dashboarding analytics and should have user behavior analytics. It should also have better dashboarding for executive management and security managers, which this product is missing."
"The solution lacks to offer a governance mechanism for operational technology assets."
"We would like to see support for privileged accounts used in web-based systems like Blue Coat Secure Web Gateway, VMware ESXI management tools, etc."
"The usability should be expanded to other browsers like Chrome and Firefox."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
"Teleport has been a solid and secure access management solution, but there are a few areas that could be improved, particularly around the initial setup and RBAC configuration."
"I rate it a seven because, as I mentioned, there is a security threat regarding clipboard access."
"Sometimes our devices do not reflect the error, and then we work on why it is not showing any alarm or issue, even though we experience distortion or issues on the TS."
"Teleport has been a solid and secure access management solution, but there are a few areas that could be improved, particularly around the initial setup and RBAC configuration."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
"Teleport is simple to use, but sometimes it requires extra research for more unique tasks, which slightly detracts from its overall quality."
"Managing 700 to 800 services is not easy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is good value for our business. According to me, their competitors are more costly. Therefore, it is quite affordable. I find the ARCON to be much cheaper than the other products in the market."
"The product's pricing is a good value. It's appropriately priced. The product has all the required features. It doesn't work in some of the areas but, right now overall, it's pretty good."
"I definitely feel the product's pricing is a good value. It is one of the best products we have. The licensing is server-based."
"Pricing and licensing are good, very aggressive."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing and licensing model is very economical."
"The product is available with competitive pricing. Licensing is not complex. We calculated the license requirements by counting the number of admins and the number of devices which were going to integrate with it."
"They do have some licenses, which are required for things like Linux servers. However, in my environment, we do not have Linux servers."
