It's easy to roll out, and their understanding of our business made it seamless

One aspect we value about iboss is its simplicity. Their customer service is brilliant, and they are super responsive and knowledgeable. It's easy to roll out, and their understanding of our business made it seamless. We were impressed by the solution's mental health function, which can detect if someone needs help. It scans what users are browsing and flags warning signs so we can check to see if they are okay. We've had to use it a couple of times. The user interface is highly intuitive. Our IT team picked it up with minimal training. It's arranged so that it's easy to find where things are. Another advantage is the single pane of glass console, which gives you visibility into what's happening. We're not fully there yet because we haven't implemented zero trust, but we're excited about the possibilities from the demos we've seen. We launched a POC of iboss' ChatGPT Risk Protection feature two weeks ago. AI is a great tool, but you need to be careful what you put into it. My biggest fear is employees inputting sensitive corporate information or customer PII data into one of these chatbots. I was impressed by our trial of the feature. It's exactly what we wanted. Now, when a user goes to ChatGPT, there's a banner warning them not to share information, and we can block conversations containing customer data like bank details and email addresses. I don't want to stop people from using it, but we need visibility. We've only tried it on a test group of 15 people. You can configure it to look for specific keywords or integrate it with your DLP policy if you have that configured

We get improved visibility and excellent support but require better detection of custom data

Reduction in the attack surface is the main benefit. We have not worked with it much yet, but so far, it has been good. It can be improved a bit more in the future, but so far, we have just scratched the surface with Entro Security. Entro Security has helped develop a better culture among developers. They are willing and starting to use something called Vault to store credentials, and they even do it without us telling them. In the past, they used to post everything like in ClearText, whereas now, they are voluntarily migrating the information to Vault. I am pretty sure it is because Entro Security is also annoying them. Every time there is a finding, we ping them via Slack. The ping comes from Entro itself. They do not want to be bothered by messages. They do not want to be seen as a bad employee, so they are using it on their own. It is not hard for us to establish behavioral baselines for non-human identities (NHI) in Entro Security. It is important that Entro Security’s detection and mitigation of NHI threats is done in real-time. It is becoming a worldwide issue, not only in our company. So many companies are trying to solve this issue where developers are posting credentials in plain text. It is of very high priority. It is not critical, but it is highly important. Entro Security has improved visibility, revealing the extent of our credential issues, where strong credentials like admin accounts were found in plaintext in numerous projects. We have more visibility and control. We got to know that the issue was much bigger than we thought. We thought that only one out of ten projects would have some kind of password, but we found more than five to seven projects having plain text credentials. The credentials stored were of strong accounts. They had put admin account information in plain text. We did not think it would be this severe. We thought that, at worst, they would be some maintainer credentials, but they were using full admin credentials in their code and had put them just in plain text. Entro Security has helped improve our organization’s security posture. Entro Security has decreased our exposure to risk. It reduces exposure from the inside, not from the outside.

Manage multiple cloud platforms seamlessly with unified credentials

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. This feature is highly beneficial for user management, particularly for clients with multiple cloud accounts. Additionally, JumpCloud simplifies the workflow when I work with different cloud platforms, such as AWS, Azure, and GCP, by integrating directory and credential management.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"First of all, the security policies are essential. I do not have to rely solely on Active Directory for our users."

"Iboss is a solution that prevents advanced persistent threats, and has a zero tolerance for attacks."

"Our primary use case for this product is DLP,"

"The iboss system is highly reliable. The false positive rates are small compared to some other systems we've experienced through other partner agencies who use competing solutions."

"Because of iboss, I did not have to assign web filtering tasks to my techs on a daily basis."

"iboss is easy to use despite its complexity. Multiple engineers manage it, but it's significantly more straightforward to administer than traditional VPNs and web proxies."

"The solution has massively improved our security posture, giving us full visibility into what our staff does online."

"We were impressed by the solution's mental health function, which can detect if someone needs help. It scans what users are browsing and flags warning signs so we can check to see if they are okay. We've had to use it a couple of times."

More iboss pros

"They are very helpful and responsive. They acknowledge issues, take feedback seriously, and implement features based on user requests."

"The top features of Entro Security that stand out are its ease of onboarding and discovery."

"The usual authentication and authorization, which were all controlled into one portal, are very convenient."

"I rate the stability of JumpCloud ten out of ten."

"JumpCloud enables different kinds of connections and enables employees or subcontractors not within the company to connect to our network securely."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The UI is intuitively easy to use. It is easy to set up a user. I have found the group management to be pretty simple. You can group users, then assign them to groups of systems, and that relationship allows us to ease the management burden."

"Some of the most valuable features of Jumpcloud have been the use of the policies. They have been very helpful. There are modules in there for policies where you can create your own which indirectly are GPOs similar to what you have for Microsoft environments, however, they are only doing registry changes. They are very powerful and useful. Additionally, having your directory and SSO in one spot is another thing that they provide in application management. Adding, removing, and updating applications are in one place for desktop administration."

"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 whole product is great. The device management is amazing. The fact that you can basically set up an entire machine without having the machine in front of you is most valuable."

More JumpCloud pros

Cons

"I'd like to see them accelerate development on the security side, particularly around data loss prevention."

"If they could implement an extra security layer preventing access to iboss from the open internet, it would be great."

"I am currently doing a PoC of the zero trust aspect of it. Compared to other similar solutions, it is hard to get around each feature. It takes a while to get used to it."

"Its pricing could be better."

"Our biggest problem with their service was it did not recognize the device and filtering did not always work correctly."

"The solution could be stronger on the integration side and offer more cloud applications like G Suite or Oracle."

"Sometimes the agent stops working in iboss, and we have to reinstall the agent."

"Our iboss subscription access should be more secure with an OTP or VPN etc. It is easy to gain access if, for example, hackers obtain my username and password."

More iboss cons

"The detection of generic content or custom data specific to our company needs improvement. It has trouble detecting unique patterns of secrets."

"Entro Security could benefit from improvements in IAM control to allow segregation of duties among developers."

"They need more straightening of the SSO capabilities."

"For improvement, the tool should introduce more customization options."

"JumpCloud could improve the compatibility with other devices and operating systems. For example, the solution only works well with Mac and some Linux devices. It does not work for mobile devices, such as Android."

"The querying for users in Jumpcloud could be improved, it is sometimes difficult to use. When you're trying to query a user and you spell out their name, you don't receive that person. Sometimes you receive a list of people with the same first name or last name. This could be better."

"The visual tool and interface must be more fine-tuned."

"Support is not good enough."

"It could dip into CI/CD tooling as well. That would be a very interesting part to see."

"The product needs to create its own self-service feature which has been requested by all the admins in the community."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive compared to one of its competitors."

"We had the cost of purchasing a new appliance along with the implementation and licensing costs. However, the following year, the cost of just licensing was similar to what was paid the previous year for a new appliance along with the implementation and licensing costs."

"We have not priced the solution recently, but they were competitive with other vendors in the past."

"The overall pricing for iboss is very competitive and transparent."

"It is not expensive, and it is also not cheap. iboss is priced right in the sweet spot for the number of features it offers."

"It is probably in line with other solutions, but I do not deal with the financial side."

Information not available

"The solution is pretty expensive."

"The pricing model changed about 18 months ago. It used to be that you got 10 users free, and then you paid for any user above 10 users. Now, when you go above 10 users, you pay for every user. It has become a bit more expensive, but it's such a good product. When you take into account Microsoft licenses, if you were to run Active Directory, you'd need a server to put it on, or you would need a couple of servers, backup, etc. It's a no-brainer. JumpCloud is so much easier to manage from my perspective, regardless of the cost increase. It's just brilliant."

"We are using an enterprise license for JumpCloud. We have purchased a license for approximately $3,000 a year, but we are charged more than $135,000 annually."

"JumpCloud offers several subscription plans as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider. The pricing is based on the number of users and the services that are required, meaning that you only pay for what you consume and don't have to pay for services that you don't need. When compared to other solutions, JumpCloud can actually be more cost-effective, as it eliminates the need to hire a team, purchase hardware, pay for licenses and software, and worry about updates, security, and backups. Thus, it offers a more efficient and cost-effective solution for managing your needs."

"JumpCloud's monthly license costs around $25 for the complete solution."

"I am pretty sure that the cost to acquire JumpCloud is less. They have à la carte or per-user pricing. The pricing is there on their webpage. I am not sure if they have any enterprise pricing or discounts if you have more users. But the overall pricing is less than Okta."

"I rate the product's pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"The pricing is all on the JumpCloud website. It's not hidden, you don't have to go through a show me a quote type procedure. The pricing is straightforward to understand."
