The Cisco Meraki Sunset: Secure Your Migration Path Today with JumpCloud
Cisco Meraki Systems Manager support is ending. Don't wait until 2029 to modernize your stack. Transition to JumpCloud’s open directory platform today to unify your identity, security, and MDM in a single, future-proof console.
Future-Proof Your Stack Before the Sunset. Discover Why IT Teams are Moving to JumpCloud.
With Cisco Meraki Systems Manager (SM) officially entering its End-of-Life phase, IT teams have a choice: move to another limited MDM, or upgrade to a unified Identity and Device platform. JumpCloud provides a future-proof path that eliminates hardware lock-in and consolidates your security stack.
Identity & MDM: One Console vs. Two Silos
With Meraki, you are managing devices, but you still need a separate Identity Provider (IdP) like Okta or Azure AD to manage people. JumpCloud is the IdP and the MDM in one. When you offboard a user in JumpCloud, their identity access is revoked and their device is locked simultaneously.
Network Independence vs. Hardware Lock-in
Meraki System Manager is designed to shine within the Cisco ecosystem. If your fleet moves off-site or you use different networking gear, you lose the single pane of glass visibility. JumpCloud is open by design as it provides the same level of security and control whether your employees are in the office, or using a home router.
Automated OS & 3rd Party Patching
Security doesn’t stop at the OS level. While Meraki SM often requires complex manual scripts for third-party updates, JumpCloud includes an automated Patch Management engine that secures your OS and your most-used apps across Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Integrated Remote Assistance for Rapid Troubleshooting
Stop paying for extra licenses for TeamViewer or ScreenConnect. JumpCloud includes native Remote Assist, allowing your IT team to jump into a secure troubleshooting session directly from the same dashboard used to manage passwords and MFA.
Future-Proof Continuity
While Meraki enters maintenance mode with a 2029 sunset date, JumpCloud is actively innovating to meet the needs of a modern IT workforce.

“It’s absolutely worth looking into at the very least, since there’s nothing else that does everything that JumpCloud can do as a single coherent package. It’s everything you need and ties everything together. We haven’t been able to find anything else like it that exists — let alone comes close.”
"We now manage access, devices, remote assistance, password management, and security policies from a single control panel. It has reduced administration time and improved operational efficiency.”
