JumpCloud Manufacturing Reviews & Insights

We use JumpCloud as Identity Prover, MDM, and User Control system.
We leverage its cloud integrations for LDAP, RADIUS, and Microsoft Azure/365 for authentication and Single Sign On. As a small company, having a few panes of glass was a major point in deciding to go with JumpCloud, as we have a mix of Linux, Windows, and primarily macOS machines. Having less tool sprawl for administration was essential, and has affected our choices with other software/services as we first look at, and heavily tilt in favor of services that can integrate with JumpCloud, either via LDAP, or some other cloud directory/SSO option like SAML.

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.

We use JumpCloud as our Tech Stack foundation. It starts with linking with our HRIS to build the user base and then manages our users via the directory which then links to our Tech App Stack to grant access via SSO. We also use it as our MDM for device management for handheld and computer devices. We use it as our security platform to secure and meet compliance. This is also used to manage and support our users and their devices.

JumpCloud is something that i would re-deploy again. It's a simple product that packs a lot of punch for user creation, app/account access, device management, security and more

Due to JumpCloud growing rapidly, they are releasing and refining features and the needs are constantly changing. Due to this, some of the new features are works in progress yet strong and impactful, but might be missing some key features

On the plus, JumpCloud has a great ear and listens to their clients and makes the needed improvements in ample time.
