About JumpCloud Directory Platform

Additionally, enables managers to monitor employees’ activities across multiple endpoints.

JumpCloud Directory-as-a-Service offers an application programming interface (API), which lets businesses integrate the system with several third-party applications such as G-Suite, Azure Active Directory, Workday, and more.

JumpCloud is not only an Identity platform, but a great Security resource!

Had little trouble learning how to manage the JumpCloud Directory as an admin and I'm constantly being positively surprised by the new features and ease of secuirty actions on devices.

Pros:

The JumpCloud Platform's dashboard is continuously displaying new functionalities which builds trust and good expectations concerning the platform's capability to help manage not only identities but also devices in such a detailed way that, in terms of Security, JumpCloud touches more and more what security agents can do!

Cons:

Some doubts concerning how the JumpCloud agent works could be more detailed in the documentation (especially when the agent is being used in macOS and Linux distributions environments).

Outstanding MDM, SSO and Directory Services Platform

One of the most impressive things about JumpCloud is how they take customer feedback so seriously. I recently met the [sensitive content hidden] of JumpCloud, [sensitive content hidden] and he was very interested to understand some of the features we would want to see in future iterations of JumpCloud and he had his product team listen to these and include some of these in future builds. JumpCloud is already such an all round MDM, directory services and SSO platform with many useful features for a modern and hybrid workplace.

Functionality

Pros:

JumpCloud provides an outstanding alternative to Microsoft Entra ID as a directory service and combines this with a single sign on solution for multiple platforms. JumpCloud is also one of the best dual operating systems MDM on the market. JumpCloud provides excellent value for money, customer support and integrations to third-party application.

Cons:

There is not much I can fault with JumpCloud. If I had to be picky I would say it does not have as much integration with Macs as Jamf or Kandji does or as much integration as Microsoft InTune does with Windows machines but it is rapidly expanding and adding more features on a regular basis.

Reasons for choosing JumpCloud Directory Platform

JumpCloud was one platform that could meet all of our needs from a compliance, features and security perspective.

Reasons for switching to JumpCloud Directory Platform

One platform for SSO, Directory management and MDM facilities.

JumpCloud has quickly solved many long term problems

Overall JumpCloud has been a a massive improvement over our previous solution, both in performance, reliability and consistency. Even with us only tapping into a fraction of JumpClouds true potential, the benefits in Device management and visibility have been, without question, superior to our previous setup.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Compatibility: JumpCloud works with our previously supported Operating Systems, both Windows and Mac JumpCloud has also allowed us to expand our offering to company employees. Many users desired to use a Linux based distribution but we were unable to accommodate this with our previous MDM but with JumpCloud we've been able to officially support the release of Ubuntu to the company. JumpCloud is able to integrate with our Inventory Management Tool, AssetSonar, and give us up to date information for all of our devices. AssetSonar now has an updated agent for devices running both Ubuntu and Debian. JumpCloud integration allows us to make sure the information stays consistent by providing additional redundancy. Speed: JumpCloud is super easy to setup. As soon the agent is installed, which generally takes less than 2 minutes, the device appears in JumpCloud and information starts being reported. Even more so now that we have the Automated Device Enrollment enabled for macOS, this process is even more seamless and so far has allowed us consistent control of the devices in our fleet. Support: JumpCloud support has been extremely helpful. They are responsive and thorough. If they don't the answer to a solution they go and find out. Our biggest support issue with our last platform was that we didn't really receive any support. We would submit a claim and they would either respond slowly or give us limited information for our problem and then drag out getting a solution from them for months with little to no communication. JumpCloud has been nothing but helpful, even with small seemingly obvious problems.

Cons:

The lack of customization for Reporting. There is a very limited selection of reports that can be run and information that can be exported. JumpCloud does not have a native method for changing account passwords nor does it store the randomly generated passwords for the JumpCloud service accounts and the user accounts that were automatically created by JumpCloud (Windows). For us, we use JumpCloud as an MDM exclusively, but our passwords are managed externally as we are using the federated integration. This could use some improvement to allow us the ability to manage passwords locally in JumpCloud without changing a users default password which will then be sent upstream and affect the Federated account. JumpCloud doesn't have direct integration with any security platforms that allows Admins to view the statuses of devices from the Admin console. This creates a situation of constantly having to try to export and compare limited reports between JumpCloud and our Security Platform. Non-Standard features (Not a dislike but a possible improvement to consider): JumpCloud doesn't possess the ability to create custom fields for devices in order to store additional information JumpCloud doesn't have a quick method of accessing our integrated platform

Reasons for choosing JumpCloud Directory Platform

JumpCloud allowed us the most flexibility with our device offering compatibility with Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and several flavors of Linux.

Reasons for switching to JumpCloud Directory Platform

Rippling, as an MDM, was extremely unreliable. The agent would often fail and need to be reinstalled. The installation, especially on Windows machines, would sometimes take upwards of 12 hours to fully complete the installation process. Device information was not updated regularly, no integration and the deployment of custom scripts was vague and also unreliable.

Pros:

JumpCloud has a very clean UI, intuitive controls, and helpful dashboards. It was really easy to learn and there are lots of helpful tooltips and information popups to explain how features work. Conditional Access Policies are just what we needed to secure access to our corporate resources. JumpCloud is definitely worth the investment! Our account team [sensitive content hidden] has given us very prompt and quality support. We can definitely rely on them to help us solve our endpoint security problems. The remote access tool is great too! I've been able to easily and securely help our employees solve IT problems.

Cons:

There's not much to dislike. For some feature requests, I wish there more "refresh" buttons on views so that I could reload the data on stuff like command results without having to do an entire page refresh or go back and forth between the queue. I also wish that you could directly link device policies to users so that any device a user has would adopt the device policies assigned to the user as applicable based on OS.
