Very easy and secure access
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting it up initially was a bit complex, especially integrating with multiple cloud environments or SSO providers , it has a learning curve.
What problems is the product 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
Its nice and easy to use (some features)
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product 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
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product 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.
Complete bait-and-switch vendor lock-in
What do you like best about the product?
The tool itself was great for access management.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It replaces SSH with a system that manages remote access with logging / auditing / user management / etc.
I would recommend teleport to anyone struggling to maintain authentication and app exposure issues.
What do you like best about the product?
- Ease of use
- Upgrade process is smooth
- Provides useful audit information
- Greate UI for visualizing infrastructure

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing major to report, but I would say making it easier to refesh the local cert data the agents store would be nice in case we need to change Teleport cluster names or whatnot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Have one proxy to expose and authenicate to all of our Applications and services.
Teleport allowed us to keep things simply, workable and traceable.
What do you like best about the product?
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.

What do you dislike about the product?
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.

What problems is the product 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)

An amazing piece of kit
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Recorded sessions are extremely helpful to recall what's happened in the past.
Less complexity with server management.

Teleport is an access solution in an easy to use SaaS product
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation can be slightly lacking at times and some of the configuration must be done manually, even through the UI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using Teleport to manage SSH access for our developers rather than dealing with SSH keys. Additionally, it provides easier monitoring of SSH access.

What do you dislike about the product?
Extensive documentation and sometime it feels like too much documentation and have to refer multiple pages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy access to the clusters through ssh.
Works well for Kubernetes access at scale
What do you like best about the product?
The Proxy Applications is my favorite feautre. That and Kubernetes access would be second.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Operator SSO resources do not allow SecretRefs for "secrets"!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows granting access to Kubernetes clusters and web applications served from those clusters without directly granting access. It allows the cluster and applications be completely private.
