Teleport is a good software if you can't configure your SSH servers with Kerberos, or can't figure out Kubernetes' millions of authentication and authorisations solutions.

Unfortunately, the Teleport open-source version has been discontinued and the free version doesn't allow companies above 100 employees or with more than 10 million dollars of revenue per year. Fair enough, everyone should live well.

But Teleport Enterprise is very expensive and I have been priced out. I don't know if I can share the price behind the "contact sales" but if you wonder about the price, you probably are too poor. In my case, it's quite a few orders of magnitude more than the time Teleport saves me.

So, I have been looking for a replacement that is open-source and likely to stay open-source for a while. I can pay for it, but I don't have a "contact us" budget.

For HTTPS, I never used Teleport and will stay with oauth2-proxy. For SSH, I found warpgate and sshportal, which may work but it looks a bit experimental. For Kubernetes, it's a mess but perhaps kubelogin could do.

If you replaced Teleport, how did you do it?

I have also been priced out. Exact same situation you're in. We're crossing our fingers that something good comes quickly from Cloudflare's purchase of BastionZero. Otherwise, I've heard good things about StrongDM but don't know pricing and don't have first hand experience.

Fair point about StrongDM and Teleport pricing. Actually, even their enterprise features are free in Hoop. We took a different approach - core PAM stuff is all free and open source.

We monetize on a new layer - packet manipulation, like AI data masking. So you get enterprise PAM features without the enterprise price tag.

Might be worth a look as given the strategy these features should remain free. Could save you some serious cash. Repo's public if you wanna kick the tires: https://github.com/hoophq/hoop
