Amazing Cloud Directory Service - Goodbye Active Directory
What do you like best about the product?
JumpCloud is nimble and robust - we have increasing added use of their cloud directory as they have built out their offering. Stability has been great and so much easier to manage than AD. JumpCloud has repeatedly demonstrated an interest in understanding our specific needs and works to accommodate them whenever possible.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great if JumpCloud leaned in more to SSO and allow us to utilize them for all directory/SSO needs. Current JumpCloud app support for SSO is fairly basic and I understand they are adding apps, but other vendors have support for thousands of apps already.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We utilize JumpCloud to manage access to all end-user compute devices, access to our user VPN system, access to our WiFi networks and are investigating using it to manage other aspects of our infrastructure. We should soon eliminate all dependancies on our legacy Microsoft Active Directory and can sunset that infrastructure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Automate the agent deployment.
Excellent Cloud Directory Service for simple user and device management.
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to run remote commands and manage Macs. Software deployment and management for PCs via Chocolatey. MDM and SSO capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sorting options in command results. Would like more options. Also, would like a run once command menu from a device for one time scripts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Management of Macs. Software update management and deployment. Security policy enforcement. No longer need AD and on-premise servers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out! JumpCloud is free for up to 10 users.
Easy way to manage the users from wherever you are!!!
What do you like best about the product?
JumpCloud is a very good product to Manage Macs computers without getting stressed. Also I heard that soon JumpCloud will become MDM this is great!!!
What do you dislike about the product?
Few things have to be improved like;
- More Windows policies, exactly Windows security policies would be handy for any System Admin used to manage Windows machine in Active Directory.
- More Apple policies
- The option to disable the users rather than delete when left for certain time.

Filevault and Mac system MFA authentication need improvement

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its really siumple nice app that will do the Job
Simplistic Cloud AD
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to manage my users from any location. Ease of installation and integration. Powerful API
What do you dislike about the product?
With it being in progress of development some tools (the AD Read/Write Bridge) being unavailable made it difficult to develop some business practices
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was used to antiquated Active Directory tools, but having a cloud resource that integrates everything I could need into one tool that is accessible from any location lowers my overhead and allows me to focus on higher level projects.
JumpCloud is an awesome alternative to MS AD
What do you like best about the product?
No Infrastructure to purchase, manage, or maintain.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more features built into enabling 3rd party / SSO integration with existing services/api's, etc. SSO integration exists but often it seems like it requires a fair bit of work to enable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It enables us to securely authenticate and manage users and end user devices.
Organize the Chaos
What do you like best about the product?
We don't want to run AD or other on premise directory services, JumpCloud easily allows us to manage users, groups, policies, etc all with ease. JumpCloud allows us to govern our users with polices that are needed to ensure our staff meet our security policies and procedures.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Windows client leaves much to be desired. It's hard to get folks to understand the method to change passwords via the windows client alone. Mac's client is much better in this area.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
On-boarding and off-boarding. Compliance. Governance. Audit and access control. Policy management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give the tool a quick demo, it's quickly becomes evident that JumpCloud has the features you need.
Excellent SSO Suite
What do you like best about the product?
We love the ability to configure, add and remove users from systems, SAAS platforms and even internal processes in one convenient places.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not a ton I dislike, frankly. I think the previous iteration of the documentation that had individualized guides per service was a bit more helpful, but I understand why it was unsustainable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enforcement of password policy
Quick assigning and removal of access to services
Access management
Quick assigning and removal of access to services
Access management
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you get a demo and understand the offering precisely.
Great product - a little pricey...
What do you like best about the product?
We use this primarily to keep passwords in sync and add an additional level of security to small and medium networks where AD may not be available or realistic for a full deployment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Jumpcloud can get expensive fast. Nonprofit pricing helps, but the bottom line is this is a costly service for small businesses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Adding additional security via cloud directory services.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For really small networks, the freemium product is fantastic value.
Easiest 802.1X and RADIUS VPN integration I've ever done
What do you like best about the product?
Jumpcloud's extensive RADIUS support for network infrastructure! We already know of its strengths as a Single Sign On system, and this can be easily extended to network devices which only speak RADIUS - the most common case being WiFi followed by VPN, both essentials to the modern professional.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is the most minor of 'drawbacks' but each individual device has to be whitelisted under a RADIUS server entry, and I call it minor because it's really just a one-time setup thing. If we could whitelist subnets using CIDR that would be perfect.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Integrating WiFi access control and VPN access control - truly one password for EVERYTHING, whether you're signing onto to a network or your accounts. And as a network admin, it saves me HOURS of configuration trying to get the infra to play nicely with the Directory as a Service. Point my infra at their servers and I instantly have an authentication database.
