Convenient User Management
What do you like best about the product?
I like how simple the interface is for individual users.
What do you dislike about the product?
The administrator interface is a little complicated and limited in capabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved the issue of local PC user management and security.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure that you have enough local storage for individual user files. Networked storage may not be enough to maintain data.
JumpCloud Is the Backbone of Our Modern IT Stack
What do you like best about the product?
JumpCloud provides an elegant, unified solution for endpoint security, identity, and access management—all from a single console. We use it for everything from enforcing security policies on Macs to managing SSO across dozens of SaaS tools. It’s incredibly cost-effective—especially compared to Okta—and their licensing model scales far better for modern, distributed teams. The ability to manage users, devices, RADIUS, and SAML in one place is a huge win for IT.
What do you dislike about the product?
JumpCloud’s pricing model has evolved a lot, and not always in a clear or consistent way. That said, it seems to be a byproduct of their rapid growth and expanding feature set. I’d like to see more transparency and predictability going forward, especially as we plan budgets and long-term roadmaps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
JumpCloud helps us enforce endpoint security across our remote workforce, providing centralized control over Macs, Windows, and Linux systems. Their agent gives us detailed visibility into device status and compliance, which is critical for audits and policy enforcement. We also consolidated our legacy LDAP and RADIUS infrastructure into JumpCloud, eliminating fragmented systems and reducing our maintenance burden. It’s been a major boost in both security and operational efficiency.

jumpCloud makes really easy to manage and monitor the resources centrally.
What do you like best about the product?
It has a small footprint on the services and its monitoring
What do you dislike about the product?
right now I am still trying out jump cloud so I don't have anything that I dislike, but I think it will be great if you can provide an on-premise solution of your services
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralized access, logging, and monitoring
Recommendations to others considering the product:
yes
Best cloud directory platform.
What do you like best about the product?
The Single sign on feature of JumpCloud is what I love the most. Apart from it below are the other features which I like:
1. Easy to use and implement and has a very powerful user management policies and a great user friendly UI.
2. Cross platform management is a charm. I do not need to remember or store the password of every platforms locally at my end thereby reducing my time to perform most tasks as an Sys Admin.
3. The license packages are very cost effective and reasonable.
4. As a system admin I have seen my users mostly struggling with logging into their accounts and often we come across issues where the users forget their passwords or their accounts get hacked. But since we migrated the users to JumpCloud since then the users are happy with the MFA feature in place.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only think I dislike is when I have to change back and forth between User and Admin mode as that takes some time and sometimes the page gets stuck for some time.
Also its hard sometimes to find the Articles or Knowledge bases for some of the issues and thereby makes us to contact support and increase our wait time.

Excellent Directory Service!
What do you like best about the product?
We have really appreciated how JumpCloud leverages the cloud to provide affordable directory services and computer management. From ensuring every system is encrypted, to providing specific policies for users or computers, we've found JumpCloud very easy to use, deploy, and manage, especially for small businesses. Over the past few years, we've also been very impressed with the additional policies and security settings available, which make granular adjustments much easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are two pain points which come to mind: (1) First, wish there was a multi-tenant dashboard where admins could log on and make global or tenant specific settings. While this is a pain point, honestly, in this regard, it's about the same as managing multiple M365 tenants, which currently has no viable multi-tenant capability. (2) Second, which it's very affordable for small businesses with less than 10 devices, after that point, the pricing seems a little expensive. Especially considering many small businesses need M365 anyway, which includes Azure Active Directory ((AAD), so the use-case scenario becomes: why not just use AAD instead? While we love JumpCloud for the small business niche, it's been more difficult to justify for large businesses or when small businesses grow, and if it becomes cost prohibitive at growth, why not plan in advance for that by going with AAD if future growth seems possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One main problem that JumpCloud solves is quickly deploying computer and user management for today's mobile workforce. An account can be created and within minutes deployed to remote systems, and policies extended to either users or computers. With the mobile devices being used from almost anywhere, the encryption ability is very very valuable to ensure company data is encrypted. Another benefit has been to be able to centrally manage policies, for example, browser settings, firewall settings, Cortana, Edge, OneDrive, etc, the possibilities are almost endless and were easy to deploy!
Good experience outside of AD/AAD
What do you like best about the product?
I’m loving the fact that the solution is fully cross platform and has robust management and policy features—far more than expected.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of provider support. While there are a lot of providers, the list is not nearly as broad or robust as Azure at the moment
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly cross-platform support, with both linux and a few mac servers/endpoints
Most effective cloud directory in the market
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of implementation, rich help documents, and superb support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of reporting for compliance and identity management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a cloud-first company and needed true cloud-native directory services that can handle SSO, LDAP, MFA, Conditional Access, Multi-OS device management, MDM, and more. JumpCloud delivered all and secured our workforce and AAA.
Not perfect, but the future of managing a modern, mixed environment
What do you like best about the product?
Perfect for hybrid Windows/Mac environment. Great feature set, and improving monthly. Combines Identity and Device Management in one.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still not as featured as Active Directory/Azure. Support has become sub-standard so you'll need to figure out most problems yourself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Like many businesses, we moved into becoming fully remote. We also have an almost 50/50 split Mac/Windows environment and have no physical infrastructure. JumpCloud was an ideal solution to manage the hardware, as well as Identity Management. We've connected many of the core applications the company uses with SSO and the process for on-boarding/off-boarding employees has been greatly improved. It's enabled us to connect a majority of the applications we use with SSO which greatly simplifies credential management. That, combined with the device management and MDM is everything one needs as an IT manager in a remote-based company.
