Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Azure Cloud services are on time and run well and if we use a JumpCloud, the benefits we receive are the ease of management and the solution is completely user-friendly. End users can do identity management easily.""Ability to integrate all applications.""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.""I am impressed with the product's remote access which allows admins to control endpoints which is a timesaver.""The usual authentication and authorization, which were all controlled into one portal, are very convenient.""JumpCloud enables different kinds of connections and enables employees or subcontractors not within the company to connect to our network securely.""After deploying to the cloud, we had remote device management on all of our corporate laptops.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The product helps to validate every activity.""It is a stable solution.""Almost every feature of the solution is valuable to me. This includes the importing and exporting to the active directory from the CSC firewall.""It makes our job easier, especially for managing data for a bulk of users.""The solution provides oversight, reports, and logs that are easy to understand.""The most valuable feature for me is automation.""The scalability is also good. ADManager Plus is being used by seven to eight system administrators right now, and it has been working fine.""The solution offers very good reports for management purposes."

Cons
"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.""Support is not good enough.""JumpCloud could improve the user interface. While it has certainly come a long way, there is still room for improvement in terms of simplifying and making it more intuitive for the user. In my opinion, the UI/UE could benefit from some modifications to enhance the overall user experience. I have suggested some changes to JumpCloud regarding this matter as I believe that they have the potential to further enhance the platform and make it even more user-friendly. There are certain small features within the system that users may not be familiar with, as they may have previously used different systems with different user interfaces.""The product needs to create its own self-service feature which has been requested by all the admins in the community.""Lacks the ability to have various VPN applications.""It could dip into CI/CD tooling as well. That would be a very interesting part to see.""The visual tool and interface must be more fine-tuned."

More JumpCloud Cons →

"Other products have more flexibility and integration in managing identities.""The solution is very complex, especially when there's an active directory of more than 1,000 users, which makes it hard to administrate. They need to improve the management of the administrative process.""This solution is not stable, it wasted my time.""With the number of available integrations these days, it would be beneficial to have more ready-to-integrate technologies in other products as well.""The solution should be made tablet friendly because it works well on iPhones and Android phones, but does not work on tablets.""API integrations are not supported for all HR tools.""I think the cost of this product is a little higher than I would expect.""There is room for improvement in support, they should work on overall competence and turn-around time."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "Licensing cost can be anywhere between $2 and $18 a month depending on what you want to do."
  • "The cost of the solution is approximately $12 per user. However, the cost depends on what modules you're using. They have an all-in-one package and they do have tiers. For example, the more users you have, the cheaper it ends up being in the end too. I know they've done some changes to the pricing model and I haven't been involved in a lot of the licensing lately. I don't know the exact cost at this time."
  • "The cost was around $5 per user per month."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "JumpCloud's monthly license costs around $25 for the complete solution."
  • "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."

  • "I am satisfied with the solution’s pricing."
  • "The tool's pricing is good."
