About JumpCloud

JumpCloud is a hosted directory service that combines identity and device management. Administrators manage Windows, Apple, Linux and Android devices and give users access to applications and networks through single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, RADIUS and Zero Trust access controls, all from one console.

It works alongside Google Workspace and has added governance features for AI agents as identities. It suits organisations that want a cloud replacement for an on-premises directory without running their own servers.

Strengths

  • Identity and device management in one console
  • Covers Windows, Apple, Linux and Android devices
  • SSO, MFA and RADIUS built in

Limitations

  • Hosted only, no self-hosted option
  • Aimed at organisations rather than individuals
