What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
Best for: Small and mid-sized teams with mixed devices
JumpCloud makes the list because it combines directory and device management in a cloud service, so a small IT team can retire its domain controller. It sells from startups to enterprise but fits best where a few people run identity and devices together. If you need deep access reviews and certifications, pair it with a governance product.
