StrongDM Alternative
StrongDM Alternative for Engineering Teams Under 200 People
StrongDM is a polished enterprise PAM platform but priced and procured for the Fortune 500. WarnHack Terminal gives lean engineering teams the same core wins — browser SSH, audit logs, role-based access, instant revocation — without the enterprise sales cycle, the per-user enterprise pricing, or the consultant-led rollout.

- Drawback: StrongDM requires enterprise procurement and a sales call to get pricing
- Drawback: Per-user pricing scales painfully for teams of 20–200 engineers
- Drawback: Setup is consultant-led, not self-serve
- Drawback: Locked into their gateway — no lightweight, India-first alternative path
