Centralized access has strengthened secure troubleshooting and daily operations in restricted environments
Teleport offers excellent proxying capabilities, where you add Teleport SSH proxy, as well as strong support for web applications. Since we are tunneling into a restricted environment, Teleport serves as the one essential point of access, and it is highly secure due to our utilization of Okta and VPN for entering the environment. We use Teleport every day because the environment is restricted, and Teleport is the necessary access point. We are the sole team responsible for the production environment, which is a requirement from our sponsors. It does not take much to maintain it since the maintenance team handles it regularly, ensuring updates occur without disrupting progress. We, as the SRE team, coordinate to ensure Teleport remains operational so that we can troubleshoot and access systems.

Password management secures sessions but auditing features need enhancement
The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information. The password rotation feature changes passwords after eight sessions, thus protecting both our sessions and assets. Additionally, the workflow feature is unique to WALLIX solutions, enhancing our access security. It is the only solution we found with this feature, making it a distinct choice for our needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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%."
"I recommend it for its straightforward setup and strong security features."
"Teleport has replaced earlier methods like a bastion server or a jump server, which required connecting to physical servers."
"Its video recording capabilities have definitely been key for us."
"WALLIX Bastion is a security tool that protects us, and I think we are protected with this tool."
"The interface is very simple. It doesn't need any plug-ins, just browsers that are installed at the beginning."
"The most valuable feature of WALLIX Bastion is its password management capability, which is central to safeguarding sensitive information."
"Bastion provides a kind of isolation between the administration laptop and the server you want to administer."
"We use WALLIX Bastion to provide access and to monitor sessions."
"The setup process was simple, and the solution can be implemented within less than one day."
"The support is great. They offer 24/7 support, but the specific level of support depends on your subscription. There's a weekday-only option, and a 24/7 option that covers all days of the week. They also have offices in different regions, including West Africa, so people there can easily get support. There's no need to worry about getting assistance."
 

Cons

"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."
"Teleport is simple to use, but sometimes it requires extra research for more unique tasks, which slightly detracts from its overall quality."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
"Managing 700 to 800 services is not easy."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
"The main problem of Bastion, CyberArk, and WALLIX is that they have the same interface for both administration and users, which is not a good idea from a security perspective."
"Reporting requires improvement; it is basic, allowing only CSV file extraction with no analytics features."
"The performance of WALLIX Bastion's password manager is very low."
"I do not find WALLIX Bastion easy to use and ergonomic."
"There should be more effort to increase the level of security."
"It would be better if I could manage multiple accounts in one place, like CyberArk. With WALLIX, you can only manage one account, and you are given a separate category. You have to click on each connection to do anything. For example, CyberArk might give three options for one connection if you want to have an interactive user-level experience. But with WALLIX, you have to click three times to get that access. Also, the biggest disadvantage of WALLIX is the reporting. I feel like it's very weak in reporting when compared to the other solutions. As a solution, they're good and stable. But they need to make their reports neater and better. Right now, we're going to the console and then pressing buttons every single time."
"The product doesn't have behavior analytics. They promised to develop this, but only for the cloud, not for on-premise versions."
"There could be more automation features for the solution."
