Why Choose OnePAM
Key advantages for secure infrastructure access
Zero Trust vs. Flat Network VPN
- Every access request is verified against identity and policy
- Users only see and reach the specific resources they're authorized for
- No lateral movement possible — compromised credentials can't traverse the network
- Continuous policy enforcement, not just at connection time
Ubiquiti Teleport gives users your entire LAN. OnePAM gives each user only the exact resources they need — nothing more.
Full Session Visibility
- Video-like session playback for SSH, RDP, VNC, and database sessions
- Keystroke-level logging for SSH sessions
- Full SQL query capture for database access
- Searchable audit trails for compliance and incident response
With Ubiquiti Teleport you have no idea what users do once connected. OnePAM records and indexes every session.
No Hardware Lock-in
- Pure software SaaS — deploy in minutes from any browser
- Works with any infrastructure: cloud, on-prem, hybrid
- No UniFi gateway purchase or maintenance required
- No firmware updates, no hardware lifecycle management
OnePAM works everywhere your infrastructure is — no Ubiquiti hardware purchase required.
Enterprise Identity & Access Controls
- Integrate with any SAML or OIDC identity provider
- Enforce MFA at the access layer, not just VPN login
- Fine-grained RBAC with per-resource permissions
- Just-in-time access with time-limited approval workflows
Ubiquiti Teleport uses Ubiquiti accounts with no IdP integration. OnePAM plugs into your existing identity stack.
Our Focus
We specialize in secure infrastructure access with full session visibility. We don't try to do everything — we focus on what security and operations teams need most.
- We don't replace UniFi for site networking and Wi-Fi management
- We focus on secure human access, not general-purpose site-to-site VPN
- We complement existing network infrastructure rather than replacing it
- We specialize in audited, identity-aware access — not consumer remote connectivity
Works with your existing tools: OnePAM integrates with your identity providers, alerting tools, and SIEM platforms.
Common Questions
What customers often ask when comparing
Ubiquiti Teleport is free — we already have UniFi hardware
Teleport is bundled with UniFi hardware, but it provides network-level VPN access with no audit trail, no session recording, no RBAC, and no compliance controls. The real cost isn't the software — it's the security risk of exposing your entire network to every VPN user. OnePAM starts at $5/user/month and eliminates lateral movement risk entirely.
Teleport is simple enough for our small team
Simplicity is great until you need to answer 'who accessed what, when, and what did they do?' OnePAM is just as easy to set up — browser-based, no client to install — but gives you the audit trail and access controls that Teleport simply cannot provide.
We only need remote access to a few machines
Even for a few machines, a flat VPN means a compromised device can reach everything on your network. OnePAM restricts access to exactly those machines, with identity verification on every connection and full session recording — whether you have 3 servers or 3,000.
We like staying in the Ubiquiti ecosystem
OnePAM doesn't replace your Ubiquiti network gear — it sits on top, providing a secure access layer. Keep your UniFi switches, APs, and gateways for networking, and use OnePAM for authenticated, audited access to the resources behind them.
Is OnePAM Right for You?
OnePAM works best for teams that need secure access with full audit trails
OnePAM is ideal for
- Teams outgrowing consumer VPN solutions and needing real access controls
- Organizations with compliance requirements (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS) that VPNs can't satisfy
- Companies concerned about lateral movement risk from flat network VPN access
- Teams needing session recording and audit trails for infrastructure access
- MSPs and IT teams managing access for multiple users across distributed sites
- Organizations wanting browser-based access without client software on every device
Ubiquiti Teleport gives your entire network to anyone with a VPN connection. OnePAM gives each user only the resources they need, records every session, and provides the audit trail your compliance team requires — Zero Trust access that a hardware VPN was never designed to deliver.
