Directory-as-a-Service for cloud identity management
4.8 /5 (55 reviews) Write a Review!JumpCloud DaaS Overview
What is JumpCloud DaaS?
JumpCloud is a Directory-as-a-Service (DaaS) platform which helps to securely manage and connect an organization's users to their systems, applications, files, and networks through a single set of credentials—regardless of platform, provider, protocol, or location. Users get access to cloud and on-premise platforms including Office 365, G Suite, Salesforce, AWS, and Jira, and can connect to file shares and networks via Samba and RADIUS to secure the organization’s WiFi and file server.
With tools to help centralize and simplify identity management, JumpCloud enables organizations to manage multiple systems from a single, browser-based admin console, regardless of their location. System management features help ensure that the various workstations, laptops, and servers (whether Windows, Mac, or Linux) within the environment are uniformly under control and compliant through a complete set of security tools. Organizations can provide user access across all system endpoints, manage permission settings, and enforce secure password policies.
Organizations are able to integrate their WiFi and VPN devices using JumpCloud’s RADIUS-as-a-Service to provide an additional method of authenticating users across services and clients. With the platform’s SAML 2.0 and LDAP-based Single Sign-On protocols, users can streamline authorization and authentication for both web and on-premises applications, including IT resources such as phone directories and printers. Group-based access controls can be associated to specific groups of individuals, and allow administrators to add or remove user access with a single click.

Great LDAP solutions for small businesses
Small businesses that need to become more operational mature in handling their staff and managing users but maybe can't afford an on premise Windows server or want to keep everything in the cloud - this is where JumpCloud reigns supreme.
Everything I Need, Without the Aggravation of AD
I have been very happy with JumpCloud. I used to run an ActiveDirectory system for the small amount of users I have, and AD is so old, clunky, and often overkill. This is a lightweight solution that can allow you to manage your organization with ease using users, groups, and policies. Setting up a user in another state is just a click away on the panel.
Break away from the traditional way of managing your computers
I love the ability of being able to manage computers and apps from anywhere that I am at. I do not have to be in the office to manage anything. Break away from the traditional settings.
Free for ten users makes this very applicable to most small businesses
The small businesses that I work with have from 3 to 10 PCs, but usually no server. JumpCloud provides the missing centralized user account control. Fairly easy to implement once you understand the model. Their documentation is good and fairly complete, sufficient to learn and utilize the product. Once set up, it has been trouble-free.
Great AD alternative
With end users using G Suite for file storage and sharing, we are able to manage PCs and end user credentials without needing to deploy Active Directory.

Great LDAP solutions for small businesses
Pros
The price is probably number 1 thing i like! Free for under 10 users. A great way for me as an IT professional to help smaller businesses get onto a stable platform for properly managing their users and devices, with room to expand as their companies grow. Great integrations with other apps (we use Office365 for most clients). With JumpCloud a small company really doesn't need a Windows Active Directory server on premises any longer.
Cons
No customer service for the free licenses - I get why, but I don't have to like it. It would be less annoying if the knowledgebase was a bit streamlined better. Can be difficult to find How-To information. Usually the article is there but is not intuitive and easy to find.

Pros
Very simple, quick package install that takes seconds. I love that the agent runs as service with a tiny footprint. You make changes using the web console, and they propagate down within a minute. Password syncing is not an issue. Just as if you were using AD, password syncing works fast. I loved how easy it was to setup RADIUS for wireless. I had it up and running within a couple of minutes. Agent installation on our machines was either done by a small installer, or in the case of Linux, a simple copy-and-paste command pasted into the terminal.
Cons
No mobile app yet. I am hoping this will change in the future so I can make changes without having to log into the browser.
Break away from the traditional way of managing your computers
I love the ability of being able to manage computers and apps from anywhere that I am at. I do not have to be in the office to manage anything. Break away from the traditional settings.
Pros
I love the fact this this is an online solution to your old traditional way to manage computers from internal servers. It branches outside your office to anywhere you want to do work.
Cons
Some of the function setups are not that user friendly. Policies are a headache when selecting what to configure. It's not easy to go back where you left off. Sometimes you have to scroll down a long list of configurations to get back to the location that you last left off from.

Pros
Multi-platform!
It uses and modifies local machine settings, so even if a laptop leaves the LAN or the service is down, everything continues to work.
Cons
The Samba integration is complex. This is more about Samba than JumpCloud, however. I needed a few different pages to pull together the whole picture on how to implement.
Great AD alternative
With end users using G Suite for file storage and sharing, we are able to manage PCs and end user credentials without needing to deploy Active Directory.
Pros
Easy to manage web interface with clear categories and policies.
Cons
Client installation on PCs was more complex than I would have liked.
