Review summaries and opinions

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
4.7
iboss improved bandwidth and security for remote work, but per-device fees and Mac agent delays prompted vendor alternatives.
Sentiment score
6.6
Armis offers operational efficiencies in onboarding and asset management, though quantifying ROI and long-term savings remains challenging.
Sentiment score
7.0
Users experience cost savings and improved security with JumpCloud, reporting 40-60% cost reduction and streamlined identity management.

Managing Director
I have seen a return on investment with Armis, as it definitely improved remediation with fewer employees.
Owner with 201-500 employees
After implementing JumpCloud, I found I do not require Windows installations, which is very helpful and cost-effective, while also maintaining effective security levels.
System Administrator at Girnarcare
Metrics show a reduction in identity and access management costs, potentially between 40 and 60 percent.
System Administrator at Mensa Brands
The time saved on onboarding and device management is significant, probably a 75% reduction.

Room For Improvement

iboss struggles with Mac support, integration issues, performance limitations, and needs improvements in security features and user configurations.
Armis needs better cloud features, integration, support, stability, sales presence, and affordability to appeal to diverse sectors.
JumpCloud users want better device management, security, support, integration, interface, reporting, and compatibility, especially for Apple devices.
It is not as intuitive as the rest of the platform.
Head of Cybersecurity at SES Water
We also had a problem with a transition when we upgraded from one appliance of theirs to another, but their engineer lost a good deal of our data.
Network Administrator at a educational organization with 51-200 employees
Our iboss subscription access should be more secure with an OTP or VPN etc.
Armis cannot be used as a standalone solution and should be integrated with other solutions.
Technical Specialist at Truvisor
The needed improvements I see include implementing cloud features, as the market, particularly in Brazil, is moving to cloud environments to reduce costs and time spent on upgrades and server management.
IDM Consultant at GCA Consultoria de Informática Ltda
It misses out on a lot of vulnerabilities.
Technology And Digitization Lead at JLL
I believe the mobile device management, the MDM side of JumpCloud, could be enhanced further for more complex scenarios, and a more intuitive user interface for certain administrative tasks would be beneficial.
System Administrator at Mensa Brands
This would be helpful, especially for AWS users, by providing broader support for different cloud platforms and private cloud environments.
Senior DevOps Engineer at Alibaba Group
A tutorial on how to use some new features, such as RADIUS, or use cases that show the best practice on how to solve some cases would be beneficial.
Technical Support and Engineer at EIKON Technology
 

Setup Cost

Iboss offers competitive and transparent pricing, often cheaper than Broadcom and Check Point, despite annual cost increases.
Armis pricing is average to slightly expensive, justified by features, with variable setup costs and competitive market positioning.
JumpCloud offers competitive pricing from $2 to $25 per user, with transparency and cost-effectiveness praised despite some opinions of expense.
It offers the same features you would get from a vendor that charges 250,000 British pounds for a fraction of the price.
Head of Cybersecurity at SES Water
The following year, the cost of just licensing was similar to what was paid the previous year for a new appliance along with the implementation and licensing costs.

JumpCloud licensing is based on how many users they register in JumpCloud, and each user can have multiple devices, up to three devices.
Technical Support and Engineer at EIKON Technology
My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing of JumpCloud has been positive, as I am happy with the support provided, and this setup cost is effective.
System Administrator at Girnarcare
 

Valuable Features

The solution's mental health function can detect if someone needs help.
Head of Cybersecurity at SES Water
It's given us a lot more visibility into our computer assets that may be infected with viruses and also shows us people who have unusually large uploads or might be engaging in high-risk activities, such as searches or going to sites not categorized by their web crawler.
Educational Technology Coordinator at a performing arts with 201-500 employees
iboss was the best solution for us because, no matter what domain you were in, everything is under a single pane of glass, which is exactly what we wanted.
Managing Director
Armis is very easy to implement due to its agentless design and offers a granular level of visibility for all assets in the network.
Director /Founder at Touchstone Machine Tap
It assesses open vulnerabilities, provides traffic flow insights, integrates with ticketing workflows, and aggregates security solutions like Active Directory and EDR.
Sr. Engineer at Zensar Technologies
Armis provides full visibility on OT devices and in the medical industry for devices such as ECG machines, X-rays, and infusion pumps.
Technical Specialist at Truvisor
The most impactful feature of JumpCloud is that it allows me to use one credential for all platforms or accounts, reducing the need to remember multiple credentials.
Senior DevOps Engineer at Alibaba Group
The feature that I use most is that the user has only one portal to access the applications, such as SSO applications like Google Workspace and the web applications that support SAML or OpenID.
Technical Support and Engineer at EIKON Technology
JumpCloud has given us a much more secure environment, and as we move toward a SOC 2 Type 2, having JumpCloud in place made it very easy to gather the evidence we needed to prove that we were doing what we should be doing.

Cloud gateway has strengthened remote web security and now needs better Mac and ISP support
The problem our organization had is that iboss failed for the Mac devices. It is not able to give a successful agent for the Mac agents. That is where in 2025, we had to migrate to the Palo Alto-based platform. If your use case is for just Windows laptops,you can consider this platform as an option One issue is the data center resiliency part. In India especially, they are not tied up with the Tier 1 ISPs like Tata or Airtel; they were having Tier 2 ISPs and encountered many issues reaching few major sites that my organization depends on, and they were having problems that they could not fix quickly. They also lack a mechanism to route that traffic within their data center; rather, they ask customers to make a pac file change to route it to Singapore explicitly. It would be better if they route from their backend , i mean even if I send it to India DC, they should be able to route it internally to make that work; however, they fail to do that and ask the customer to route it in the pac file. Another suggestion is that in China, they do not have the proper setup; they used to have numerous problems with slowness and lack of premium circuits in China as well. That leads to multiple sites working slowly with latency-related issues. So the main issue is the ISP-related problems that need to be solved.

Identity management has streamlined user lifecycle and now guarantees first-day access
The best features Armis offers include the interaction with my manager in Brazil, whose first name is Rui, and who provided a lot of experience, especially Horácio, who used to work for Microsoft. Horácio helped with issues related to Active Directory and provided ideas on how to best integrate the solutions. The aspect of Armis solution that stood out to me was its flexibility to integrate different applications. The collaboration of the team is really important and key for the project to go well and bring the results the customer is looking for. The solution has the necessary resources and connectors that have built many of the rules needed for integration, regardless of whether the application is an Active Directory, an LDAP directory, a database, or even a specific solution such as SAP. It is also flexible enough to build the business rules that apply specifically to that customer. Armis has positively impacted my organization and my client's organization by ensuring that on day one, new users had all the access they needed to work for the applications that were integrated. Additionally, if a user was dismissed from the company, they would lose all access to the integrated applications because Active Directory, which was key for user authentication, would disable their account. I do not recall any specific statistics regarding measurable results, but there was positive feedback from managers concerning the process during the time I was there.

Unified directory and device management has streamlined remote workforce security and onboarding
JumpCloud can be improved in several areas. Some users feel the initial configuration can be complex, especially for larger organizations, and better guided onboarding could be helpful. Additionally, while its reporting and integrations are strong, more granular and customizable metrics and real-time alerts would be beneficial for advanced use cases. From my team's perspective, there is often a desire for even more intuitive administrative controls, particularly when managing complex policy sets. Enhanced integrations with specific industry-specific applications could provide even greater efficiency. It is about refining the user experience and expanding compatibility. Another area for potential enhancement could be customer support and resources. While generally good, faster response times and more comprehensive or specialized documentation could further improve the user experience, especially during complex deployments.
