Identity & Access Management (IAM) / SSO · Rank #3 of 10

JumpCloud

IAM + directory + RMM at $11-$24/user, SMB default.

By JumpCloud, Inc. · Founded 2012 · Louisville, CO · private

JumpCloud is the SMB IAM + directory + endpoint management leader. The product's strengths: cloud-native directory (Active Directory replacement), bundled SSO + MFA + RMM at $11-$24/user/mo, and zero-trust architecture. Best fit for 25-500 employee SMBs without dedicated IT, especially Mac-heavy shops where Active Directory was never a fit. Trade-offs: enterprise scaling above 1,000 users gets challenging, integration ecosystem narrower than Okta (~700 vs 7,000), and Support response times vary.
