Centralized access has improved privileged control and now provides strong audit visibility
I believe StrongDM can improve its initial setup and onboarding experience for larger enterprise environments like Scania, where we have a lot of processes. Integrating different teams, access policies, and existing identity workflows requires substantial planning. Additionally, I think the dashboard customization and reporting could be more flexible for operational teams, though new teams find it manageable. Once the platform is fully integrated, it provides significant value. Apart from the onboarding experience, I would also mention that the templates for enterprise onboarding and policy setup could benefit from innovative thinking tailored to organizations managing large AWS and Kubernetes workloads. Enhanced customization in dashboards and reporting would further ease operations and provide better insights.

Identity visibility has improved and access governance supports least-privilege decisions
I wouldn't say major drawbacks, but there are a few minor challenges and limitations to consider. Veza provides significant value for identity security and access governance, but one of the main challenges is the initial implementation and integration process, particularly in organizations with complex environments, multiple cloud platforms, and a larger number of applications.Connecting different systems and ensuring that identity and permissions data is collected accurately required careful planning, technical coordination, and collaboration between security, IT, and application teams. Regarding its governance and security, my experience has not been very comprehensive, but the security approach is valuable because the AI-driven security insights need to operate with a clearer framework of access control, accountability, and data protection.

Pros

"Since using StrongDM, I estimate around a 60% reduction in effort compared to other PAM tools."
"Since using StrongDM, I estimate around a 60% reduction in effort compared to other PAM tools."
"All of the logging is handled for us, including for auditing purposes. Looking through the audit logs is not a painful experience."
"The best features in StrongDM are that it is the easiest product in the market for this situation with easy access."
"StrongDM positively impacts our organization in many ways, mainly in cost savings from the time saved, and it has significantly improved both security and operational efficiency for us."
"StrongDM replaced the puzzle of different solutions with one single product, which made managing resources more efficient."
"The best features in StrongDM are the password rotation capabilities, which I think are pretty cool, and also how you can literally log in to any of the privileged servers through a single platform."
"We primarily used StrongDM for access to resources on private networks like EC2 machines, Kubernetes clusters, and various databases."
"In one dashboard or one place, I can see all the company's identity."
"Veza has positively impacted my organization by improving access for our users, allowing us to check the user and perform auditing for our system or organization, and we are now able to implement least privilege practices, which has made our organization and system more secure."
"One of its strongest features is the ability to provide a clearer picture of who has access to critical applications, cloud platforms, infrastructure, and sensitive data."
"It's the only current GRC vendor with licensing rights for HITRUST 11.3 framework, and I've avoided expensive HITRUST licensing costs through a custom control framework."
 

Cons

"I rate the stability of the product five out of ten because crashes sometimes happen when we are working on it."
"Additionally, 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."
"I think StrongDM could improve by focusing more on network device management by allowing the addition of PAM for network devices, managing legacy network equipment, or helping to initiate enterprise onboarding where a lot of complex environments and initial setup are required."
"Integration, however, is something which admins configure with StrongDM, and in that area, it can be improved."
"My thoughts on the pricing of StrongDM is that it is expensive."
"We've had a few issues with the stability of this product in the past."
"StrongDM lacks the capability for web application injections or password injections, so we need to rely on other tools such as HashiCorp for non-human accounts or DevOps scenarios."
"It would be beneficial to have better control and alignment between frequent updates and improved communication regarding possible negative effects on existing customer bases."
"The support experience could be better."
"I wouldn't say major drawbacks, but there are a few minor challenges and limitations to consider."
"Veza can be improved as it is currently not suitable for small projects due to its high cost, complex setup, and requirement for more integration with multiple systems."
"In Veza, there is some scope for improvement, as I can see that custom integration is not easy."
