About JumpCloud

JumpCloud is an open directory platform meant to replace or extend Active Directory for companies with mixed Mac, Windows and Linux devices. It manages users and groups in the cloud and lets them sign in to SaaS apps with SSO, to devices with the same credentials, and to Wi-Fi, VPNs and LDAP-based systems through its cloud RADIUS and LDAP services. Device management covers policies, patching and mobile device management, and add-ons include a password manager, remote assist and SaaS management. Pricing is per user per month, either as packages like SSO or device management or a full platform bundle, with a 30-day trial. It suits small and mid-sized IT teams that want one console for identity and devices rather than separate Okta and MDM products. Large enterprises with heavy Microsoft investment may get more from Entra ID, and some advanced identity features are less deep than dedicated IAM vendors.

Best for: Small and mid-sized IT teams managing identities and mixed devices from one console.
