Sentiment score
5.5
1Kosmos BlockID boosts efficiency by reducing support needs, lowering costs, enhancing user experience, and improving security significantly.
Sentiment score
6.6
JumpCloud reduces ID management costs by 40-60%, speeds onboarding, enhances security, and saves on deployment, though benefits vary.
With iboss, whenever you turn on your laptop, the iboss agent automatically connects to the iboss cloud, enforcing all security policies. So with respect to the security side, it strengthens measures.
Senior Consultant Proxy Engineering at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Deploying iboss leads to good return on investment, estimated around 70% to 80%.
Manager at Cyvogenix
I have seen some cost effectiveness from iboss; it has reduced certain support requirements, making it a more hands-off solution.
Managing Director
Initially, ten people were in the IT support team, but with the reduced ticket volume from 300 to 500 to just 70 to 80 calls monthly, only two IT staff members are now required.
Accounts Receivable Manager at Guru Nanda
We have seen around a 40 to 50% reduction in password-related help desk tickets, faster login times, and reduced IT administrative effort, resulting in measurable productivity gains and a strong return on investment without needing additional support staff.
Associate technical desktop support at Digitaltrack soluctions Pvt. ltd
Time has certainly been saved and user experience has increased multiple times over, which I consider equivalent to an ROI.
Senior Vice President at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
After implementing JumpCloud, I found I do not require Windows installations, which is very helpful and cost-effective, while also maintaining effective security levels.
System Administrator at Girnarcare
Metrics show a reduction in identity and access management costs, potentially between 40 and 60 percent.
System Administrator at Mensa Brands
The time saved on onboarding and device management is significant, probably a 75% reduction.

Setup Cost

Iboss offers competitive, transparent pricing and simplicity, but costs may increase with usage compared to ZScaler and Check Point.
1Kosmos BlockID offers flexible, competitive pricing with strong security, reducing password resets and improving onboarding despite perceived high costs.

Regarding pricing, setup costs, and licensing, iboss is not cheap, and that's my only concern.

Accounts Receivable Manager at Guru Nanda
Based on my experience, the pricing of 1Kosmos BlockID is very affordable.
Software Engineer at a media company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Valuable Features

1Kosmos BlockID enhances security and efficiency with passwordless, biometric authentication, reducing issues and improving user and operational management.
JumpCloud streamlines device and user management through automation, enhancing security with integration, single sign-on, and multi-platform support.
The solution's mental health function can detect if someone needs help.
Head of Cybersecurity at SES Water
It's given us a lot more visibility into our computer assets that may be infected with viruses and also shows us people who have unusually large uploads or might be engaging in high-risk activities, such as searches or going to sites not categorized by their web crawler.
Educational Technology Coordinator at a performing arts with 201-500 employees
iboss was the best solution for us because, no matter what domain you were in, everything is under a single pane of glass, which is exactly what we wanted.

Penetration Tester at Essen Vision Software
The most impactful feature of JumpCloud is that it allows me to use one credential for all platforms or accounts, reducing the need to remember multiple credentials.

The feature that I use most is that the user has only one portal to access the applications, such as SSO applications like Google Workspace and the web applications that support SAML or OpenID.
Technical Support and Engineer at EIKON Technology
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.
Principal Systems Engineer at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees

Cloud gateway has strengthened remote web security and now needs better Mac and ISP support
The problem our organization had is that iboss failed for the Mac devices. It is not able to give a successful agent for the Mac agents. That is where in 2025, we had to migrate to the Palo Alto-based platform. If your use case is for just Windows laptops,you can consider this platform as an option One issue is the data center resiliency part. In India especially, they are not tied up with the Tier 1 ISPs like Tata or Airtel; they were having Tier 2 ISPs and encountered many issues reaching few major sites that my organization depends on, and they were having problems that they could not fix quickly. They also lack a mechanism to route that traffic within their data center; rather, they ask customers to make a pac file change to route it to Singapore explicitly. It would be better if they route from their backend , i mean even if I send it to India DC, they should be able to route it internally to make that work; however, they fail to do that and ask the customer to route it in the pac file. Another suggestion is that in China, they do not have the proper setup; they used to have numerous problems with slowness and lack of premium circuits in China as well. That leads to multiple sites working slowly with latency-related issues. So the main issue is the ISP-related problems that need to be solved.

Passwordless login has transformed daily accounting work and now saves hours on support calls
The cloud-based feature of 1Kosmos BlockID stands out because when working on SAP, it often went down due to memory size, but since 1Kosmos BlockID is cloud-based, downtime is not experienced. The second standout feature is the login ID and password recognition; it allows the right person to log in without manual entry of usernames and passwords, making 1Kosmos BlockID very helpful in any situation. 1Kosmos BlockID offers passwordless authentication that eliminates 2FA. It operates through biometric authentications, such as facial recognition and thumb impressions, which are compliant security keys for enterprise applications. Identity verification is another strong feature; if 1Kosmos BlockID recognizes a user, it ensures that the right person is logging in. It uses AI and machine learning to scan government-issued IDs, licenses, and passports, matching them with user biometrics for 100% accuracy. The digital wallet feature also stores user identity information in a private or permissioned blockchain, allowing users to control their personal data. It meets high assurance standards, including NIST 800-63-3 and GDPR, and supports both app-based and browser-based user journeys for onboarding and authentication. 1Kosmos BlockID has positively impacted the organization by enhancing security through eliminating usernames and passwords and storing encrypted user data in a private permissioned blockchain, which drastically reduces the risk of data breaches and phishing. Furthermore, it has improved operational efficiency by streamlining the user experience, reducing help desk calls for password resets and simplifying identity management, thus increasing overall productivity. In terms of time savings, for a team of 15 people, a monthly saving of around eight to ten hours has been observed after using 1Kosmos BlockID. Before its implementation, the IT help desk faced 300 to 500 calls a month. After using 1Kosmos BlockID, that number reduced to just 70 to 80 calls monthly, significantly alleviating common password-related issues.

Unified directory and device management has streamlined remote workforce security and onboarding
JumpCloud can be improved in several areas. Some users feel the initial configuration can be complex, especially for larger organizations, and better guided onboarding could be helpful. Additionally, while its reporting and integrations are strong, more granular and customizable metrics and real-time alerts would be beneficial for advanced use cases. From my team's perspective, there is often a desire for even more intuitive administrative controls, particularly when managing complex policy sets. Enhanced integrations with specific industry-specific applications could provide even greater efficiency. It is about refining the user experience and expanding compatibility. Another area for potential enhancement could be customer support and resources. While generally good, faster response times and more comprehensive or specialized documentation could further improve the user experience, especially during complex deployments.
