JumpCloud vs. ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus

JumpCloud is least suited in situations where you have few devices, but lots of users. JumpCloud heavily focuses on the "One-User-One-Device" type of use, and does lack some of the features things like Active Directory is better suited for when having multiple users accessing one machine. Their Powershell APIs are fantastic and getting only more powerful. Lots of features are hidden behind these APIs, so admins not as familiar with Powershell would have more issues leveraging these tools. BYOD deployments are amazing, especially for macOS devices that are using Apple Business Manager and can leverage Zero Touch deployments. It is especially good at handling mixed systems, whereas other options, such as Jamf, are really suiting only for macOS, or Intune is more suited for Windows; JumpCloud managed to handle both systems well.

An amazing solution for an organisation of up to 25 devices as they offer a free subscription. You could use this to trial the product at your organisation. The perfect fit for any size of organisation with the software being simple enough for non-technical staff to be able to deploy and manage devices.

• User Management - The ability to control our users and set password/polices is made easy in the JC console
• Device Management - Using JC each user is assigned to their own device with only the rights to do their job - When elevated rights are required, this is done simply via the JC console for the period of time required
• SSO - Using JC's SAML SSO integrations we are building out our SSO offering and this is making for a much simpler daily user experience

• Integration with our user system (Windows Active Directory/Azure).
• An amazing feature which automatically syncs users from our central source so we don't have to do this manually, reducing errors and automating the staff onboarding experience. This also allows groups which we can use to target devices / profiles.
• Remote control of devices.
• Being able to remotely screen share and take control of devices allowed us to instantly respond and resolve issues with settings/apps on our users devices without having to bring the devices into the office allowing a quicker resolution of problem and minimising impact to business.
• Simple Setup
• The configuration of devices through profiles is incredibly easy to do, yet flexible with numerous options we can enable. The best feature ultimately is the simplicity. You just select the options you want without having to select 10 other required settings.
• Responsive support.
• On a few occasions we had some issues (down to user error) we were able to joing live chat with support and within a matter of minutes they were able to show us where we went wrong before anyone noticed the mistake.

• SSO via OpenID - Opening up their SSO from just SAML to including OpenID (OAuth) would allow us to make more use of the service and to also incorporate it into some internal testing suites
• Time Limited User Elevation - The ability to time limit a users elevation of privileges would be a great addition
• Extending device management to include LPA - Least Privilege Access is becoming a bigger ask from our external auditors - Being able to do this via JC would be amazing

• Documents are sorted by some random order by default, users need to manually select "sort by A-Z", and even by doing so, coming out of documents and back in will reset the order to the random one. Would be amazing if A-Z was default, or if I could find out what this default order was to edit the files accordingly.
• Playing audio files from the app is approached as if it was a video: if you come out of the app or lock the screen, the audio will stop. Would be great if it could act like music apps and keep playing with locked screen.

We would be very likely to renew unless there were unforeseen changes to our budget.

It's simple. I like how JumpCloud keeps things simple. Similar to Apple's ecosystem, they give you what you want with some extra features and bells and whistles but it doesn't take a large instruction manual to use it. They have the support system and KB articles to back up their product and learn about a feature and how to implement it

The ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus overall usability is very good. So far, they provided all functionalities that we need to manage mobile devices and also applications deployment and security.

We have their premium support. Not only is the support great, but our SAM / Account manager directs any questions or updates to the proper channels and gets us the needed info and solution quickly. Due to this, we find JumpCloud to exceed our expectations and puts us at ease that our Foundation Tech Solution is VERY reliable.
