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.

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

"One standout feature of ARCON is its ability to resolve lagging issues, especially noticeable in Linux environments."
"Session recording is the most valuable feature, as it covers compliance and it also covers our in-house applications."
"We use ARCON Privileged Access Management to monitor and record our admin users' activity."
"The most valuable feature of ARCON Privileged Access Management is the recording of sessions, and it has all the basic features we need to fulfill our use case."
"The technical support is excellent."
"The product is really a good product and a good value for the money, in terms of costs, user convenience, and functionality that they offer."
"With this log available, we can drill down to the activities performed by the people within our kiosk. There is a great feature where in the case of Unix servers, we have our own text-based logs. In the case of Window's server, we cannot create a text-based log, so our kiosk takes the screenshot or picture of the screen when I am working. It does this every three seconds."
"The product's deployment phase was easy."
"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 replaced earlier methods like a bastion server or a jump server, which required connecting to physical servers."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I recommend it for its straightforward setup and strong security features."
"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 helped us minimize incidents and maintain our uplinking time and uptime, and our organization's uptime is 99.90%, which is almost 100%."
 

Cons

"They need to support all web browsers. At the moment it only supports Explorer, IE. They have to come up with a solution to support all browsers."
"From an end-user point of view, it would be beneficial if the system could provide information about the last login."
"It should be browser-agnostic and, frankly, it is working well on Internet Explorer. It should work on popular browsers like Mozilla and Firefox."
"I suggest implementing password rotation for service-based accounts, as that should be included."
"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."
"One thing which needs improvement is where it is keeping video logs of Windows Servers, whatever activities are being carried out by the administrator. Because Windows logs are a video, they are unsearchable, so if you need to search for a specific administrator and what he has done on a server, right now you need to go through different video logs of that particular timeframe. I think they are coming up with an additional feature where in it can be indexed and can be searchable."
"There is often a slow response when logging into routers, switches, or servers compared to direct access."
"There are no APIs readily available... I'm working on automation for ARCON so that whatever the ARCON administrator is doing will be automated, rather than having to do it manually. For that, I had to spend months to get the API developed myself. Having that handy out of the box, that would really help..."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I think it should have less complexity to set up on self-hosted because it is still a difficult process and I spend a lot of time using it on self-host."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"We have a subscription to use this solution."
"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."
"Their licensing model is very simple, as it is based on the number of endpoints which you want to manage along with the number of users and administrators which you want to use."
"There are no major concerns with licensing because we can handle multiple servers in our kiosk system."
"The pricing and licensing model is very economical."
