"Its nice and easy to use (some features)"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Teleport?

what i like most about teleport is how easy it makes secure access feel. i don’t have to deal with managing a bunch of ssh keys or jumping thru hoops just to get into servers or k8s clusters. it just works, and that saves me a lot of time and headache. also love the audit logs and how it works with sso. really solid tool tbh. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

sometimes the initial setup can feel a bit confusing if you're new to access mgmt tools. had to read the docs a couple times to really get it right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Teleport solving and how is that benefiting you?

before teleport, managing ssh keys and access was kinda messy — like people would forget to revoke access or we’d have shared creds floating around. teleport fixes all that with role-based access, sso, and session logs. now access is way more secure and i don’t have to manually track who has what. it saves time and helps us stay compliant without the usual headache.

"Powerful Access Management with a Bit of Complexity"

4/5

What do you like best about Teleport?

I like that Teleport provides secure, certificate-based access to servers, databases, and Kubernetes clusters without needing a VPN. The session recording and audit logging features are incredibly useful for compliance and troubleshooting. It also integrates well with SSO providers and enforces strong identity-based access control, which helps simplify security across our infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

The initial setup can be quite complex, especially for teams new to infrastructure-level access control. Some configuration options aren’t intuitive, and it can take time to understand how everything fits together—especially with self-hosted deployments. Also, while the documentation is detailed, it can feel overwhelming and sometimes lacks practical examples for specific use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Teleport solving and how is that benefiting you?

Teleport solves the problem of securely managing access to servers, databases, and Kubernetes without relying on VPNs or shared passwords. It uses certificate-based authentication and role-based access control to enhance security while simplifying user access. This improves our team’s productivity by enabling quick, secure connections and provides detailed audit logs for compliance and troubleshooting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very easy and secure access"

4/5

What do you like best about Teleport?

I like how it uses single sign on and role based access, so permissions stay tight and traceable. It also records sessions automatically, which is great for audits and keeping things transparent. Overall, it simplifies infrastructure access while keeping security front and center. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

Setting it up initially was a bit complex, especially integrating with multiple cloud environments or SSO providers , it has a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Teleport solving and how is that benefiting you?

What I really like about Teleport is how it uses Single Sign-On. Instead of managing separate passwords or SSH keys for every server, I can just log in once using my company account like through Google or Okta and get access to everything I need based on my role. It’s a lot more secure, and it also makes life easier when someone leaves the team because you don’t have to manually clean up access everywhere Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Teleport allowed us to keep things simply, workable and traceable."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Teleport?

Teleport allowed my organization to provide secure and manageable access (the only access) to a heterogenous group of resources. We have some k8s clusters, some cloud DB and some apps.

The very good SSO implementation (with roles mapping) was a decisive winner. It allow us to have team roles schema on our IDP and that was a highly sucessful and transformational change in our organization.

Our development and operations teams now have access to all they need and offboarding/onboardings within the teams are straightforward.

In addition, because roles can by highly configured, it allow us to have very good and proper security adequate resource access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

What I believe that still need improvement is the DB setup. Each DB type with a diferenciate setup makes it difficult to add new DB types.

Also, some UI changes, were not liked by our guys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Teleport solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had three main problems:

- Tecnhically: provide a unique way to access different types of resources. That was solved by Teleport by providing exactly what we were looking for.

- Security: provide a secure way that uses the team role based access that my organization is using

- Tracebility: have logs of what the users executed (specially the logins at the resources) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Complete bait-and-switch vendor lock-in"

0/5

What do you like best about Teleport?

The tool itself was great for access management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

Teleport has decided to end support for its community edition after pushing users to adopt it and build their ecosystem. See: https://goteleport.com/blog/teleport-community-license/

Anyone self-hosting CE Teleport now just got completely screwed over as they have been locked into a surprise ~$70/seat bill for enterprise edition (plus implementation fee, even though you're already hosting it and just need a license key now)! Or, you could rebuild your entire network identiy management system on short notice instead!

This is a huge middle finger to anyone who adopted their solution early on and helped build their ecosystem. There's clearly immense revenue pressure at Gravitational right now and I would absolutely expect to be continuouly screwed over by them in any business relationship after this move.

Teleport continues to support the Teleport Community edition, with updates, patches and feature releases.

Individuals are free to use Teleport Community Edition for personal and hobby use with no restrictions. Companies may use Teleport Community Edition on the condition they have less than 100 employees and less than $10MM in annual revenue (AR).

We are also committed to our open source community and are publishing the code for our open core under true open source AGPL v3. license available on our github.

Please read more information about community edition license changes in our announcement.

When it comes to our enterprise product pricing, it varies based on the product set and deployment scale.

"Teleport is an access solution in an easy to use SaaS product"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Teleport?

Teleport allows us to control access to infrastructure in a secure and easy to use platform. It's very versatile as far as the variety of infrastructure it integrates with. The community Slack has been invaluable for finding solutions/assistance, and the Teleport team is quick to respond in Slack, patient, and willing to follow through with their support. We're using a self-hosted instance of the Community version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

The documentation can be slightly lacking at times and some of the configuration must be done manually, even through the UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An amazing piece of kit"

5/5

What do you like best about Teleport?

Over the many years of using Teleport, it's been an essential piece of my infrastructure to help secure access, and centralize my infrastructure into one dashboard, without having to jump around. I can also classify resources using custom labels (which can use the output of commands or be a static value) which can directly feed into ACL's, I'm not sure how I could go without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

Sometimes the UI doesn't show all the level of detail you'd expect, but on the other hand the docs are very detailed so more often than not, what I'm looking for is explained there, just means I need to do a bit of hunting around. Regrettably, I'm still stuck on the Community Edition as Enterprise edition is cost prohibitive for my use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Teleport solving and how is that benefiting you?

Complexity: The current day technological infra-structure consists of very many types of resources and they are sourced from numerous vendors. This is much more work than controlling accesses to all these sources. With teleport, companies have one point where they can control all the infrastructure resources with lower risks of mistakes made by people.

Security: Modern infrastructure cannot be sufficiently protected using traditional access control methods like passwords. To this end, teleport offers several security functions like the one time passwords, restricted access, and constant surveillance that facilitate improvement in the quality of an organization’s IT infrastructure.

Compliance: There are numerous compliance requirements that organizations have to do regarding access controls. Teleport will assist organizations in fulfilling the stipulations by offering audit trails and logs, and compliance reports for demonstration purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Teleport makes managing multiple Kubernetes Clusters a breeze"

5/5

What do you like best about Teleport?

It is well thought out from a use and security standpoint. They have covered all teh baes. Of particular interest to us i steh Aadi capabiloities as we plan to have contractors monitor certain aspects of our production clusters. and can record and peer observe their activity, all bundled under a short lived access token.

What do you dislike about Teleport?

Very LIttle, the only issue for us is to figure out our OAuth integrations, we are unable to do this without deploying the enterprise version .. The OS version does allow github for oauth, however the roles do not map. Our user models will be very complex and managed via keycloak. To be able to test and try various scenarios with a limited dev team user base (say 10 members) before deploying enterprise woudl be a huge advantage to us .. Teleport has many options and we would want to try the best aporach that worked for us, as well as looking at how we can integrate all or tooling with the roles driven from Keycloak.
