Within Datactics we leverage JumpCloud as our main Directory Service - Linked up to our Office 365 tenant the platform makes user management simple, allowing us to control our user accounts and provision access as required - We also use JC to manage our use endpoints, each having the JC Agent installed this has made Windows & Linux system management easy to do for the entire team - We also use JC for SSO making user provisioning across other services a breeze and being able to control access from a single pain on glass is great.

When we first evaluated JC our use case was a simple one of user/device management - Out of all the vendors we looked at JumpCloud ticked all the boxes - Since implementation we have continued to grow with JC and hope to continue doing so in the future.

Day to day now I would say that JC is one of the most commonly used platforms across the companies estate.
  • User Management - The ability to control our users and set password/polices is made easy in the JC console
  • Device Management - Using JC each user is assigned to their own device with only the rights to do their job - When elevated rights are required, this is done simply via the JC console for the period of time required
  • SSO - Using JC's SAML SSO integrations we are building out our SSO offering and this is making for a much simpler daily user experience
  • SSO via OpenID - Opening up their SSO from just SAML to including OpenID (OAuth) would allow us to make more use of the service and to also incorporate it into some internal testing suites
  • Time Limited User Elevation - The ability to time limit a users elevation of privileges would be a great addition
  • Extending device management to include LPA - Least Privilege Access is becoming a bigger ask from our external auditors - Being able to do this via JC would be amazing
For companies like us requiring a single pain of glass for user and device administration which is cloud agnostic JC is a great fit - The ease of use and simple setup make the offering each to use for IT and non-IT people alike - Extending the platform and using offerings such as SSO, Patch Management, Mobile Device Management will only further add to the platforms value. Cost is also another factor, for smaller companies the ability to pick and choose modules will mean great cost savings and only paying for what you need.

For anyone who is committed to one cloud vendor (O365, Google) then their experience may be limited however I would still say that JC offers more value for money, giving access to premium features that other big players charge a fortune for.

  • High return on investment as JC has played a vital part in obtaining and keeping a number of company certifications
  • Giving the DevOps & Security team time back by allowing for simple admin tasks to be done even quicker has probably added more value than we can count
  • ROI for system and user reporting has been invaluable as we keep on top of security
As a small company, we have opted not to pay for a TAM or to take the increased support offering - Being a UK customer then has limited the cross over time we have with standard support (they work US hours) - This has never caused a major issue but has led to some calls taking longer to resolve - It should also be note that at times we have needed to go over the heads of First Line support pulling in our account manager and others to resolve a number of longer standing issues

It should be noted however that once escalated our calls have all been dealt with in a timely manner and always to a successful outcome
As I have mentioned throughout this review the ease of use and single pain of glass for user and device management alone makes the product usable - Taking all other services into consideration this only goes further
As a team we evaluated and championed JC after a intense POC - The value for money at the time we singed our initial contract was significant for us and as we have added features and grown in size (doubled since pilot) the costs savings have continued

We have 72 users on the platform - Of those, 4 are admins working within the DevOps & Security depatment

We use JumpCloud as a centralised platform to manage users identity, devices and enforce conditional access policies to embed a zero trust information security model. The product addresses three areas in one platform being identity and access management, mobile device management across both MacOS and Windows devices as well as becoming a more secure organisation with zero trust policies defined.
  • Scope includes all Operating Systems for MDM
  • One centralised platform for easy management
  • Easy UI navigation on the platform
  • More reporting capabilities and tracking of users/auditing
  • SSO pre-configured settings are not always correct
  • Patching of applications as they only can patch OS
As we were looking for a new way to manage identity (move away from Active Directory) and replace our current MDM platform, JumpCloud came out on top as it covers a range of capabilities to address our requirements. For identity management, it assists us with getting rid of Active Directory and embedding SSO functionality. For MDM, it covers both MacOS and Windows which is great coverage with a hybrid split. Additionally, it has conditional access policy functionality to help with uplift information security and embedding zero trust.
  • Centralised dashboard to save time navigating
  • Coverage of both MacOS and Windows MDM
  • It offers identity and access management and MDM together

JumpCloud is used across the entire organization. We looked for a central and simple single sign-on solution, with good user interface and integration. After review, we selected JumpCloud over other options.
  • single sign on
  • auto redirect
  • Domain name changes are not supported.
  • Change back and forth between user and admin mode.
JumpCloud is a simple single sign-on solution. It has good integration with Gsuite, Github, Atlassian (Jira, Confluence, etc.). Its user interface is a little cumbersome, but it continues to improve.

JumpCloud had better pricing, and since we currently need it for single sign-on only, we chose it.
Didn't need or use it.
