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.

Offers security audit that shows us how many passwords are weak and how often they're being changed
There are a couple of things. One is the BreachWatch feature. It's one of the most useful things because it shows us who on our team has weak or compromised passwords. So, it checks the passwords and helps improve them. There's also a security audit that shows us how many passwords are weak and how often they're being changed. Some people haven't changed their passwords for months, even though applications force them to change every 45 or 90 days. So you can catch those issues and warn them. Most applications allow for rotation, but some don't. I've seen people use the same password for years. At least Keeper tells us these passwords haven't been rotated, and we can warn them to change them manually since we can't force people to change the password.

Pros

"Since using StrongDM, I estimate around a 60% reduction in effort compared to other PAM tools."
"We primarily used StrongDM for access to resources on private networks like EC2 machines, Kubernetes clusters, and various databases."
"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 positively impacts my organization by helping with compliance and audit functions."
"StrongDM has positively impacted my organization by ensuring that every developer has access to cloud resources, which are audited by the organization, allowing us to keep track of who accesses what and control the access."
"The best features in StrongDM are that it is the easiest product in the market for this situation with easy access."
"Since using StrongDM, I estimate around a 60% reduction in effort compared to other PAM tools."
"StrongDM replaced the puzzle of different solutions with one single product, which made managing resources more efficient."
"BreachWatch feature is one of the most useful things because it shows us who on our team has weak or compromised passwords."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Integration, however, is something which admins configure with StrongDM, and in that area, it can be improved."
"We've had a few issues with the stability of this product in the past."
"My thoughts on the pricing of StrongDM is that it is expensive."
"I believe StrongDM can improve its initial setup and onboarding experience for larger enterprise environments like Scania, where we have a lot of processes."
"I think the stability of StrongDM is about four to five due to the occasional crashes that I mentioned."
"The final implementation was challenging because we had to roll it out to three different departments within the same umbrella, each with its own domains."
