JumpCloud vs. The Competition: How to Choose

Embrace a unified approach that provides a far more holistic solution than traditional, dedicated MDM tools. JumpCloud brings your users, application access, and devices together onto one powerful platform. Here’s why 250,000+ organizations trust JumpCloud to simplify their IT operations:

1. Your fleet needs a universal approach. Discover true UEM with JumpCloud.

Your endpoints are diverse, and so is your workforce. Manage and secure your entire fleet of Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS and iPadOS devices with JumpCloud—whether they’re corporate-owned or BYOD.

2. Beyond Device Management: Control your Entire User Lifecycle.

Your IT strategy needs to extend beyond just managing devices. With JumpCloud, you gain the power to manage the entire user lifecycle, seamlessly guiding employees from rapid onboarding to verified offboarding.

3. Unify Access and Device Security.

Multiple credentials create risk, and those risks amplify significantly when third-party vendors are involved. Now you can apply granular policies, patch vulnerabilities, troubleshoot remotely, and enforce device trust access, all from the same platform.

“Once we got the Windows machine set up, we realized how easy it was to implement policies and enforce some of the other requirements that we have for compliance. We started looking at JumpCloud for Macs so that we could have what they call a ‘single pane of glass’ and not have to divide our attention between two separate mobile device management software packages.”

- Sam O’Daniel, Senior Manager of IT Services

“I like the fact that there’s a very set process for onboarding a Mac, and the zero-touch deployments are incredibly useful because we didn’t really have a good way of managing that internally before JumpCloud. The zero-touch deployment gives us the ability to start the onboarding process from a good point, and then we can run scripts and commands in the background as needed to install the software that doesn’t come by default.”

- Kev D’Arcy, SVP of Information Security

“I wasn’t really interested in going out and buying 10 different products. I was trying to figure out what was going to work with Windows and Apple, and I found a few options. JumpCloud was the only one that stood out as a good product. Plus, it had a lot of other features I could use as well, so we kind of hit the ground running.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main differences between JumpCloud and others?

JumpCloud offers a unified, comprehensive platform with identity, device, and access management across cloud and on-prem environments, making it a good choice for companies with mixed device types (Windows, macOS, Linux, etc.) and hybrid workforces.

How does JumpCloud support compliance efforts?

JumpCloud is designed to simplify IT on all fronts including compliance with regulatory standards like GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2. Its unified access and device management, MFA, detailed audit logs, and SaaS management solutions help organizations meet compliance requirements across diverse environments.

Which is more cost-effective?

For mid-sized companies and MSPs, JumpCloud’s all-in-one approach is more cost-effective, especially if your business needs both IAM and device management. By consolidating these capabilities into one platform, JumpCloud reduces the need for multiple vendors and licensing fees.
