About JumpCloud

JumpCloud sells a cloud-based directory service that connects user identities to the systems, applications, and networks that need to be accessed.[7]

JumpCloud says its platform unifies identity, device, and access management across every human, machine, and agent in an organization. JumpCloud says 250,000+ organizations choose JumpCloud as the unified identity platform built for every identity: human, machine, and agent. Pricing packages run from startup to enterprise, and a higher package adds Zero Trust, AI and SaaS management, and premium support.[2][8][9]

JumpCloud Unified Endpoint Management manages macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, iPadOS and Android devices. The service brings security, identity, authentication, and remote access and control into a single console. Admins can define and apply similar policies across different operating systems from a central location. Patching and version control use patch scheduling and automation for Windows, macOS, and Linux (Ubuntu), as well as Chrome browsers. MFA can be enforced on devices with push notifications, TOTP tokens, hardware authenticators, or biometrics. Reports can demonstrate compliance with common standards such as SOC 2, HIPAA, and NIST for all devices.[8][10]

JumpCloud's Apple MDM ensures Apple devices and their users remain secure, with the right permissions and settings, no matter where they operate. Management is offered for company-owned Macs, and company-owned and BYOD iPhones and iPads. JumpCloud integrates directly with an Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager account. Zero-Touch Enrollment automates onboarding processes like device configurations and automatic software installation. Policies can protect device data with FileVault encryption, protect USB storage, implement firewalls, and secure browsers. JumpCloud Go is a hardware-protected, phishing-resistant passwordless login method.

Windows devices can be enrolled with single-click automated enrollment workflows that save time and eliminate tedious manual processes. Windows device management covers securing, monitoring, and controlling a fleet of Windows devices throughout their entire lifecycle. Policies and configurations are applied and enforced based on the signed-in user's identity, not just the device itself.[12]

JumpCloud's Cloud LDAP servers are self-supported and maintained. The offering is OpenLDAP RFC 2307-compliant and encrypted by LDAPS and Start TLS, and multi-factor authentication can be required upon entry to LDAP resources. Users connect to their on-premises resources from anywhere with no hardware requirements. Group-based access controls streamline LDAP management, whether from the JumpCloud Admin Portal, via the command line, or through RESTful APIs. JumpCloud provides authentication mechanisms, including MFA, for any application or service that can defer authentication via LDAP.[13]

JumpCloud is open by design: SCIM, OIDC, SAML, and exportable policy-as-code are part of the platform. Customers running Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 can integrate what they have. Organizations can standardize for SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, and the upcoming EU AI Act with built-in controls and audit-ready reporting.[8]

JumpCloud offers pricing for higher education, K-12 school systems and other educational institutions, special pricing for nonprofits, and exclusive pricing for MSPs and channel partners that join its partner program. JumpCloud also offers professional services to plan, implement, and maintain a JumpCloud instance. JumpCloud has built a global network of edge nodes that operate autonomously from its central infrastructure. If central infrastructure has an outage, customer systems can continue authenticating against these edge servers via LDAP.[1][7][9][13]
