This solution is selected before my time so, not much influence ,but product allow to customized and require decent ping skills to configure the solution. Okta and Other solutions are well suited in this category with some positive and some negative capabilities. it must say …
Chose PingOne from Ping Identity
We tested PingOne but our security team was not happy with it (because of cloud exposure).

Chose PingOne from Ping Identity
All contenders were capable, but we had scale concerns with NetIQ's architecture. In the end, what set Ping apart from the others was their level of engagement in understanding our use cases up front during the RFP stage and how they were focused on what we needed more than …
Chose PingOne from Ping Identity
I found both platforms compelling from an ease of use and user experience perspective. The decider for me was cost driven as I had already used Ping to drive a self-service transformation in a prior organization, and I intended to do the same at this one. Okta had issues with …
Chose PingOne from Ping Identity
Two-way authentication and ease of use. I've used several applications that just email a link but never ask for a verification code. By entering the verification code you are sure that the site is safe, secured, and reliable. Using Ping, we can ensure no one other than you will …

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

The products we're using work well and are reliable. We've had very few outages, and when we have, their support team has been highly responsive and addressed the issues quickly. They are very customer focused and have been great partners throughout the relationship. I'm looking to adopt more of their technologies over the coming year.

Pros
  • 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

  • PingFederate is feature-rich, and quickly updated with the latest standards and profiles. This gives us more tools to apply identity standards to modern business challenges.
  • PingFederate and PingCentral were also easy to deploy within docker containers and weave into an infra-as-code deployment, keeping operational overhead low.
  • PingID has an array of supported authenticators for nearly every use case, and early FIDO2 support has us looking into moving to passwordless much more quickly than I had anticipated.

Cons
  • 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

  • I believe it is very secure & not sure if it needs any improvement as such
  • Only suggestion would be it should not ask users to re-confirm if the session is still active

Usability
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

Easy to use; all UI's are user friendly and easy to learn.[The] possibility to use API is [a] big value as well. We really like integration with CyberArk; with it we can manage privileged accounts according to company standards without breaking any rules, and we can be 100% sure that only approved persons will have administrative access.

Support Rating
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.

For our enterprise, they've assigned a customer success manager to ensure our needs are being addressed, and that person is top notch in knowing our priorities, enhancement requests, and open cases. Every time we've needed to engage support for a problem or a how-to question, they've been highly responsive and followed up with us to ensure the case was completely resolved. Their support personnel are highly skilled and trained. This is a very customer-centric company.

We tested PingOne but our security team was not happy with it (because of cloud exposure). We tested PingId as well but our security team was not happy with it (because of cloud exposure). We [spent] some time on PingDataGovernance but so far we don't have any use case for this product. We started exploration for PingDataSync (to synchronize two different LDAP directories), [and] so far it looks promising.
