What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

StrongDM

A centralized platform that grants temporary, minimal-scope access to infrastructure and databases on-demand, then automatically revokes access when no longer needed. Built for cloud-native and rapidly-changing infrastructure environments.

Independently observed

Teleport

Teleport provides zero-trust identity and access control for servers, Kubernetes clusters, databases, cloud platforms, and AI agents. It offers unified authentication, role-based access control, session recording and audit logging, and just-in-time privilege elevation with short-lived certificates instead of long-lived secrets or VPNs.
