JumpCloud is a complete SSO solution and AD Replacement
What do you like best about the product?
JumpCloud can be managed day-to-day from anywhere and by most people in the IT department. The interface is simple and the options for third party integrations are robust.
What do you dislike about the product?
The radius server setup needs to allow for the same IP with different ports. People using managed service like Meraki may only have one IP that handles routing based on ports and protocols.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralized password management for SSO is the main issue we have solved.
Super easy, secure, and helpful Directory Service
What do you like best about the product?
JumpCloud is 3 things:
1) Super easy to deploy.
2) Really great for managing infrastructure spread across many different cloud accounts/VPCs.
3) Competitive pricing.
4) Secure

What do you dislike about the product?
Perhaps the only downside to JumpCloud is that it's "yet another directory" you have to manage, as opposed to using your main directory service (whether that be GSuite, Outlook365, etc.) but those are not "fit for purpose" when it comes to securing infrastructure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using JumpCloud to have a common directory for all of our various Cloud accounts (we have 6+ cloud accounts with infrastructure on all of them that we want to secure access to).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would strongly consider JumpCloud if you want an easy to use solution for securing access to a disparate set of cloud infrastructure or even an easier-to-use solution that you may get out of the box with your cloud infrastructure providers.
Even as a work in progress, they're head and shoulders above of the competition
What do you like best about the product?
JumpCloud provides a suite of tools and directory services to provide great remote support to our endpoints of every OS in our infrastructure from one pane of glass. Device and user policy management works well and although there is still a lot of room to improve, the core suite of tools is head and shoulders above the competition while still being competitively priced.
They have basic offerings to span most of what I need to manage Mac, Windows, and Linux endpoints. MDM works great on Mac. Running commands remotely on endpoints is a little clunky but it works pretty well. Policy management works great. And they have other tools like an SSO portal for my end-users that generally works really well (although their documentation for configuring individual integrations needs a little TLC).
Lastly, premium support is a game changer. Because JumpCloud can be rather nuanced for some use-cases, you'll want to leverage their premium support. It's worth every penny though. The team is great.

What do you dislike about the product?
I can't queue commands I push remotely to machines. If the machine isn't connected to the console at the time of the command, it won't receive the command...period. So I have to, as an admin, chase down machines that weren't on at the time I pushed an update or ran a command.
And if I want to be able to easily tell who got the update and who didn't, or ask other simple questions, JumpCloud lacks basic reporting functionality from any kind of GUI (they have a "dashboard" with a few canned pieces of info but it's not really helpful). If you like powershell, you'll get by, but if you prefer bash... prepare to learn powershell if you want to answer simple questions like "which machines have this software running on them?" or "what are all my machine hostnames and serials in alphabetical order?"
Mac MDM doesn't provide full Zero Touch DEP yet, although they do have a basic DEP program with Apple. JumpCloud doesn't have MDM capabilities for Windows yet.
Their Linux support exists but is highly nuanced (but its Linux so that's to be expected a little bit). Hard drive encryption, for example, which is managed for Windows and Mac, presents particular challenges on Linux, because as JumpCloud manages the password to access the endpoint but can't communicate the password change to the Linux hard drive encryption, the machine user has to change the password locally first prior to changing the associated JumpCloud password so the encryption "get's the memo" prior to the change.
There are many nuances like that throughout JumpCloud but all in all, they're putting money and resources into developing their feature-set based on customer feedback so I'm confident that many of these issues or features that are lacking will be addressed. It'll just be a matter of time for many of them.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to solve three main problems:
1 - Remove local admin rights while still having the ability to manage the machines
2 - Set password policy (expiration, complexity, length)
3 - Manage hard drive encryption from a central location for Mac and Windows
We've found JumpCloud has a rich suite of tools that we've been able to use to address lots of other issues as well like remotely installing software, remote locking/wiping machines (MDM), remote password resets (when users forget their passwords or lock themselves out of their account).
The biggest thing was that JumpCloud gave us the ability to remotely see and manage our endpoints and the users logging onto them. And all done from the cloud so I don't have to worry about hardware.

Modern AD for Modern Infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use, AD Migration toolkit, and support are bar none. It's easy to use, just works, and provides functionality beyond AD that is perfect for the modern remote work environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only dislike is the lack of features. Adding in tools for remoting into your devices and more GPO type features would be great. I'm sure all of these "dislikes" are future features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to push software, policy, and provide businesses AD and password security whether they're on or off the companies internal network.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a worthy replacement of traditional AD and movement to the modern workforce, this is for you. You will love it.

What do you dislike about the product?
Most of the features are limited to Linux, and we are heavy Linux users
The password reset process can improve for Windows / Linux
It would be great to have Geolocation enabled to determine where the users are connecting from

JumpCloud is the best cloud directory platform
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to manage passwords to other SaaS apps and directory integrations from one place in the cloud.
What do you dislike about the product?
Directory insights or any logging feature is not available which should be an embedded feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Constant account lockouts which impacts VPN access from Active Directory. With JumpCloud the user is self served in resetting their own passwords and therefore reduces their contact with our help desk.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider how easy it is to configure and other tools such as MDM, Software Management and Commands [ability to run commands directly on the device]
Review the policies as there are quite a few that helps with the management and integrations

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much for our needs. The only thing that comes to mind is a Windows MDM as robust as their Mac solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SSO for Multi platforms, IAM, fleet policies, user management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dev team is really dynamic and JumpCloud is really well made, and getting better everyday
Best for Device Management
What do you like best about the product?
Device Management (Windows and MAC) and GSuite integration are very easy to setup
What do you dislike about the product?
The user have to rename the local user with a process that is not very simple to be runned by a non technical user
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Directory Managment / Singe-sign-on
Easy management with SSO option!!

We have a few users that log into multiple different Mac's and their password was always different. We use JumpCloud SSO to solve this issue. We also added MFA to our MacOS logins!
What do you dislike about the product?
When your password changes, it can cause some funk with MacOS KeyChain.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SSO and MFA to MacOS signin.
