My main use case for JumpCloud is managing a fleet of Windows and Mac devices. I manage the complete life cycle of the device from imaging to offboarding using JumpCloud, so when a new employee joins the company, the device gets enrolled with JumpCloud, any apps that the user may need are automatically installed via JumpCloud, and then the device is shipped out.
Because we're in healthcare, we're all about security, and JumpCloud gives us the ability to lock down the device and make sure only approved apps are installed, which is beneficial.
Recently, JumpCloud rolled out the ability to host apps in their repo, so I no longer have to host them myself for install. I just upload them to JumpCloud and push and they're good to go. I also appreciate that JumpCloud has a remote desktop included, which makes life very easy.
I'm in a company that's fully remote, and because we have no on-site location, having a remote desktop was important to me so I can provide remote support when needed or troubleshoot when needed. Having that built-in has been very nice and made supporting my end users significantly easier.
JumpCloud has given us a much more secure environment, and as we move toward a SOC 2 Type 2, having JumpCloud in place made it very easy to gather the evidence we needed to prove that we were doing what we should be doing.
We needed fewer employees, and by adding JumpCloud, we were able to remove the need for at least one employee because we had less hands-on device imaging.
Better management for iOS devices would be wonderful, so I could ditch a secondary MDM I use for my iOS devices that I manage. If I could bring everything to one pane, I think that would be a real improvement for me.
JumpCloud does what it does and does it very well, and there's always room for improvement. As I stated about iOS, giving them a nine is probably the best they could achieve.
I started using JumpCloud about three to three and a half years ago.
I experienced some bugginess getting joined. It did not initially recognize my microphone, and I had to reload the page a few times because it kept saying it was failing.
JumpCloud has scaled up and down with the ebb and flow of our business very well, and I have no complaints on its ability to scale or downsize as needed.
Customer service is fairly good, and sometimes it takes a little time to hear back. Service was better in the beginning, but as JumpCloud has grown, they have not leaned into their support quite as much as I hope they would. However, they do get back to you within a reasonable amount of time.
When I was onboarded, we moved from an MSP to an internal team, and the MSP was using a different MDM for each device type, whether that was iOS, Mac, or Windows. We tried to move to something that would be unified, and then eventually move to using the IDP portion of JumpCloud as well.
JumpCloud was purchased before I onboarded, so I did not handle the initial licensing. As they've rolled out new features, I have been in on the conversations on which ones to purchase and whether we needed to stick with the Platinum bundle that we were getting or if we could drop down. My manager made the purchasing decision on JumpCloud about two weeks before I joined the organization.
I did not use an implementation team.
JumpCloud delivered very strong ROI.
The biggest advice I would give to others looking into using JumpCloud is to test, because the biggest thing you can do to make sure it's going to work for your environment is to sign up for the free demo and test JumpCloud as much as possible to make sure it suits your use case. JumpCloud is a good product and it marks all the boxes that I needed it to. I would rate this review a nine out of ten.
