Identity Management
Comparison of Identity Management features of Product A and Product B
The manual deprovisioning and permissions management Bettercloud provides is really good. The state of workflow automations however is not where it needs to be, particularly if we can't use those workflows to automate user creation using not just our default username/email convention, but one that is very common across most organizations.
JumpCloud is least suited in situations where you have few devices, but lots of users. JumpCloud heavily focuses on the "One-User-One-Device" type of use, and does lack some of the features things like Active Directory is better suited for when having multiple users accessing one machine. Their Powershell APIs are fantastic and getting only more powerful. Lots of features are hidden behind these APIs, so admins not as familiar with Powershell would have more issues leveraging these tools. BYOD deployments are amazing, especially for macOS devices that are using Apple Business Manager and can leverage Zero Touch deployments. It is especially good at handling mixed systems, whereas other options, such as Jamf, are really suiting only for macOS, or Intune is more suited for Windows; JumpCloud managed to handle both systems well.
Allows us to quickly audit and assign delegates to email account, something that's completely missing in Google as an administrative function
Allows us to automate offboarding of a Google account
Allows us to perform bulk actions, like assigning email signatures and forwarding to hundreds of accounts at a time
Allows us to audit Google Drive files. Orphaned files are very common in Google Workspace, and BetterCloud allows us to find them and take ownership of them.
User Management - The ability to control our users and set password/polices is made easy in the JC console
Device Management - Using JC each user is assigned to their own device with only the rights to do their job - When elevated rights are required, this is done simply via the JC console for the period of time required
SSO - Using JC's SAML SSO integrations we are building out our SSO offering and this is making for a much simpler daily user experience
SSO via OpenID - Opening up their SSO from just SAML to including OpenID (OAuth) would allow us to make more use of the service and to also incorporate it into some internal testing suites
Time Limited User Elevation - The ability to time limit a users elevation of privileges would be a great addition
Extending device management to include LPA - Least Privilege Access is becoming a bigger ask from our external auditors - Being able to do this via JC would be amazing
It's simple. I like how JumpCloud keeps things simple. Similar to Apple's ecosystem, they give you what you want with some extra features and bells and whistles but it doesn't take a large instruction manual to use it. They have the support system and KB articles to back up their product and learn about a feature and how to implement it
Support for BetterCloud is excellent. They have fantastic email support who are very responsive and knowledgeable, but more importantly they have chat support that are absolutely top-notch. They have not only the knowledge to answer and help, but the capability to solve without escalations or runarounds. These support folks are the real deal.
We have their premium support. Not only is the support great, but our SAM / Account manager directs any questions or updates to the proper channels and gets us the needed info and solution quickly. Due to this, we find JumpCloud to exceed our expectations and puts us at ease that our Foundation Tech Solution is VERY reliable.
Far and away a better capability when it comes to integrations and automation. My experience with BetterCloud, especially from a support perspective has ALWAYS been great. As the product has progressed from FLASHPANEL to g.bettecloud to app.bettercloud that support experience has stayed top notch.
