Keeping costs aligned with budget constraints. <\/strong>There are many different mobile device management and endpoint security vendors capable of providing remote user access. However, many offer additional features and services that raise the price of implementation, leading some organizations to pay high prices for services they don\u2019t use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nNow that we\u2019ve sufficiently covered what remote user<\/em> access is, how it\u2019s achieved, and the challenges of it, let\u2019s get into the benefits of remote access capabilities and how JumpCloud can support IT.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBenefits of Remote Access<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Remote access provides a wide range of benefits to organizations that have any number of employees working remotely. Most IT leaders adopt remote access technology to gain the following advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nFaster response times. <\/strong>IT support teams use remote access to address issues as quickly as possible. Without the need to be physically present on-site, networking problems can be addressed by scalable teams located anywhere in the world.<\/li>\n\n\n\nReduced downtime costs. <\/strong>Downtime results in lost revenue and productivity. Requiring all IT issues to be addressed by on-site personnel can quickly lead to performance bottlenecks when workers are remote or complex issues arise.<\/li>\n\n\n\nIncreased productivity. <\/strong>Employees who spend less time waiting for IT issues to be resolved are able to spend more time generating value for the organization. At the same time, IT support staff can work more efficiently when they don\u2019t need to travel. Remote access usage generally reduces frustration across end users and the IT team.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nRemote Access with JumpCloud<\/h2>\n\n\n\n JumpCloud is a cloud-based open directory platform with fully featured mobile device management (MDM) capabilities that support remote user<\/em> access and enhance endpoint device security for organizations of all sizes. JumpCloud also provides network administrators with visibility and control over end user devices (i.e., remote access) through the JumpCloud agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSome of the features JumpCloud offers include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nRemote Assist.<\/strong> Allows tech support teams to remotely view and control end user devices for troubleshooting, maintenance, and training. Administrators can access user devices directly through JumpCloud\u2019s browser-based cloud interface. <\/li>\n\n\n\nUnattended Access.<\/strong> Also called Silent Assist<\/em>, this feature allows administrators to initiate remote sessions and provide support even when the end user isn\u2019t available.<\/li>\n\n\n\nBackground Tools.<\/strong> This feature lets administrators conduct remote file management and other processes on end user devices directly through a command-line interface, all without interrupting the user experience. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nJumpCloud supports a wide variety of devices and operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, ChromeOS, and Linux. Implementing a directory that supports all of your users and devices is essential, but it\u2019s just as important that IT is able to help users troubleshoot technical issues on those devices with a remote access solution to keep users productive and secure.
