Easy to setup, easy to maintain LDAP solution
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that there's an agent for every type of OS, and that it integrates seamlessly. It's easy to install and maintain. No bloody updates, no downtime.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface isn't the most intuitive if you're not tech. A "dumbed down" version or simple mode could perhaps assist non-tech people administer their instances better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No problems, it just works. We've prevented computers being compromised multiple times due to the lockout automated process. Benefits, as per TCO are very high!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Test, read the documentation, deploy, administer. No more to it... :)
Domain Controller with much much more functions inbuilt in it.
What do you like best about the product?
- Easy to configure and administer
- Competitive pricing in the market
- Constantly new features added
- Great customer relations, listens and appreciates feedback
- Good support team as well that provides constant updates
- Ease of access, available anytime as it is based in the cloud
- Therefore no further hosting tools that the system administrator would need to manage and maintain
- Built with security in mind; plenty of security controls (password policies, TOTP, Yubikey integration, typical domain policies etc.)
- Able to even push down registry level changes using the admin panel
- Single Sign On function available for multiple products (haven't used it myself though)

What do you dislike about the product?
- Still relatively young product; Some typical functions are still in early stages
- Error notification on the admin panel can afford to contain more information
- Little documentation on running remote command, hopefully this will improve in the feature as the solutions gets more refined

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Controlling and managing all machines in the organization
- Tracking of updates and insights of user usage is beneficial as well
- Software deployment; although in early stages, has lots of potential to grow
- Remote wiping if the device gets lost
- MDM controls are included for MacOS devices as well
- Benefit of not worrying about if the server is constantly going to be up since Jumpcloud is managing it directly

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not think of Jumpcloud as your typical Domain Controller - It is much more than a standard DC.
Growing Platform, Lots of Options
What do you like best about the product?
Centralized management is solved with this without going to a full a windows server stack. Lots of policy option to pick from that cover most basic settings. Relatively easy to deploy with responsive support staff once you become a paid member for services. They provide good write ups on items that they have published. Very cost effective for a growing business with security and compliance requirements.
Support and sales teams have been friendly and not pushy.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nested groups are missing/pending development and full group policy options aren't available without tweaking. The process to create policies is a bit of a time sink. A few more walkthroughs on integrating into a basic linux (ubunutu, rhel, centos) environment would be appreciated including the setup and creation of some sort of file transfer protocol.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralized SSO management and security and policy settings on office and field computers. We are struggling with enforcement of passwords and updates and were looking at getting everyone in our company password managers. Jumpcloud has significantly reduced the need for that with SSO integration and will solve the bulk of our user requirements. It also allows for less experienced members IT members or even computer literate personnel to modify some of the settings, the GUI is very user intuitive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a trail while your user base is low. The cost per user is decent and if you take this on early you can save other domain and security related costs vs on prem Windows domains or Samba Domains.
jumpcloud
What do you like best about the product?
We like the easy to use API which gives us the ability to automate many of the tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Poor python support. No support for webhooks. Having to pay for insight to get systeem logs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it as our IDP
We use the agent to manage our pool of machines
We use radius to connect our users to wifi
We use it to setup user access to our AWS cloud resources

It’s the OS-neutral directory you want to use to manage your endpoints
What do you like best about the product?
It’s cross platform - Mac, Linux, and Windows. With JumpCloud becoming an Apple MDM, it’s only getting better.
What do you dislike about the product?
Certain features are lacking while they focus on product. Reporting and logging are only just catching up to minimally required functionality. Wider support from SIEMs and other security platform integrations is also lacking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not having to run AD. We’re a 100% cloud company. We do not run on on-prem of any variety. Easy to deploy, cloud-native directory services for endpoint management was essential 5+ years ago and JC was and is the only cross-platform, 100% cloud product that focuses on being an endpoint specific directory. It’s a one stop shop for easy directory and endpoint management.
Yeah, you can cobble together something with Azure AD and LDAP and RADIUS, etc, but JumpCloud handles it all.
Apple in particular is hard to wrangle in this respect, with their disparate tooling and now MDM requirements for most basic management. JumpCloud became an Apple MDM and is rolling out more and more features to that end. It’s a huge help, allowing us to eliminate Meraki as an MDM (albeit at the loss of their SCEP wifi auth). JumpCloud is slow to roll out such features as they have so many competing feature priorities, but they’re also good about listening to customer feedback and now run an admin Slack.

Great product. A lot of potential
What do you like best about the product?
JumpCloud allows the pushing of computer policies. This allows IT Admins to control managed devices and make them compliant for business continuity.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some downsides to it but not enough to outweigh the pros. But the product is growing and in a good direction.
This may be a cross-platform solution but it seems they are catering more towards Apple products. If you consider yourself to be “cross-platform” I think there should be an equal balance between al platforms of Mac, Windows and Linux

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems being solved would be automation for IT Admins and controllability for the Company to manage users and devices.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend you evaluate your Company needs upon attaining JumpCloud to make sure to setup goes smoothly.
Empowers Business Growth
What do you like best about the product?
Security, automation, scaling for an ever extending office of workers and managed devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the issues that have prevented me from taking this solution to stakeholders have historically been UI, lack of documentation, and even more granular pricing for SMB-size companies. All three categories have been vastly and importantly improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This helps solve 'no-touch' type device management for our MacOS and Windows is devices and brings MDM into one lane of glass.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The ability to test and playground this product endlessly up to 10 users is so important and not constrained by an often enforced 30-day trial period.
Their documentation and academy webpages are very helpful.

The Chance to Change
What do you like best about the product?
The system is very easy to handle and has a very large documentation. Including windows and Linux agents for password management, package management and monitoring.
What do you dislike about the product?
It not full a Microsoft Active Domain Controller replacement which is very interesting for smaller business and private usage cases.
I would be cool to have a service which can run on windows or Linux to provide a local domain controller as a replacement.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralized user account and permission management. Deploying software and scripts to machine groups and monitoring.
Great user interface, really easy to get setup
What do you like best about the product?
The User Interface for creating policies, managing devices, etc was really great. I was able to get devices registered really easily - probably less than 15 minutes using the Apple MDM configurations. Out of all of the UEM providers we looked at the process with JumpCloud was by far the best.
I also liked that you could buy directly from JumpCloud. With some of the providers we looked at like MobileIron you need to go through a 3rd party reseller.

What do you dislike about the product?
It's not possible to use Mobile Device Management on iPhones / iPad / Android devices. That was a bit of a downside for us - we have users who are using phones / android phones and ipads that need to be monitored. We would love to see this feature introduced - support did tell me it's on the way so fingers crossed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mobile Device Management - as part of our security policies we need to be able to manage devices remotely and see what software is installed. By installing JumpCloud it gave us this visibility that we didn't previously have unless we manually checked each individual users' device which isn't really a practical solution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great product but lacks the ability to manage devices such as iPhone / iPad or Android devices. We'd love to see this feature be introduced - I did speak with support and they said that it's on the roadmap.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Jumpcloud has been a pleasure to work with. Jumpcloud's systems have been running reliably with few issues for the entire time we've been using them. They have even won over our users, which is something you rarely see in the fast-paced, internet-marketing development community. They are the only solution that provides all the features we need, and their support has been excellent.
Compared some of the other, large IAS providers we depend on, they are friendly and easy to deal with, and they don't treat us like we are less important for being a smaller company that does spends less on them than other companies.
