Hi!
I am looking for a secured ops platform. I am choosing between the-bastion, Bastillion and Jumpserver(open source version). Is there any feature matrix comparasion between these open source projects? Can anyone share your experience comparing these software?
Thank you!

The documentation succinctly sums it up: https://ovh.github.io/the-bastion/#just-yet-another-ssh-relayhost-jumphost-gateway

Just yet another SSH relayhost/jumphost/gateway?

No, The Bastion is an entirely different beast.

The key technical difference between those and The Bastion is that it strictly stands between you and the remote server, operating a protocol break in the process, which enables unique features such as tty recording, proper access auditability, builtin access and groups management commands, delegation of responsibilities all the way through, etc.

Hi,
Jumpserver is just the name of the project. What it can do seems like much more than just a jumpserver.
