JumpCloud vs. Ivanti
Stop managing users and devices in two different tools. See why JumpCloud’s unified Identity, Access, and Device Management platform wins over Ivanti’s legacy endpoint silos.
JumpCloud vs Ivanti: How to Choose
Do you want to manage machines, or manage your business? Ivanti is a point solution for endpoints, while JumpCloud is a strategic platform for Identity, Access, and Device Security. Here’s why modern IT teams are moving away from fragmented legacy tools to JumpCloud’s unified Open Directory:
Manage your people and their devices in one place—not two
Ivanti Endpoint Manager is focused on managing only endpoints, but JumpCloud unifies the management of your people, their identities, and every device in your fleet. Instead of toggling between a device manager and an identity provider, JumpCloud gives you a single source of truth to manage every user and every Windows, Mac, or Linux device.
Eliminate the Maintenance Tax of Legacy IT
Ivanti EPM anchors your IT team to the data center, requiring manual server patching, SQL databases, and VPN gateways to reach remote workers. JumpCloud is a 100% cloud-native platform that eliminates management hardware entirely, allowing you to scale globally.
Continuous Zero Trust Without the Complexity
Ivanti focuses on reactive Patch and Push security, leaving a security gap between the managed device and the user’s identity. JumpCloud implements Zero Trust by default, continuously verifying user identity, device health, and network context before granting access to any corporate resource.
One Platform. Any OS. No Compromises.
Ivanti Endpoint Manager often treat Mac and Linux as afterthoughts, requiring separate modules or complex scripts just to reach basic parity. JumpCloud provides first-class citizenship for your entire fleet, offering native macOS MDM and deep Linux management alongside Windows, all from a single, unified console.
Deploy in Minutes, Not Months
Ivanti is known for heavy agents and complex setups that often require weeks of professional services and specialized training. JumpCloud is built for speed, offering an intuitive web console and automated workflows that let you go from sign-up to a fully managed fleet in a single afternoon.
