JumpCloud vs 100ms

About

JumpCloud was founded in 2012 to build an open directory platform replacing legacy Microsoft Active Directory for cloud-first, remote, and multi-OS environments. Its core insight: Active Directory was fundamentally ill-suited to modern IT where employees use Macs, Linux machines, and SaaS apps. JumpCloud's cloud-based directory abstracts identity and device management into a single platform regardless of OS, location, or infrastructure type.\n\nThe platform provides unified IAM, MDM for Mac/Windows/Linux, SSO, MFA, LDAP, RADIUS, and SCIM provisioning from a single console. IT administrators manage the full employee lifecycle across SaaS applications, on-premises resources, and cloud infrastructure without separate tools per OS. Customers include Cars.com, GoFundMe, and Grab across technology, financial services, and global enterprise segments.\n\nJumpCloud reached $200 million in annual revenue in 2024, up from $105.3 million the prior year — approximately 90% year-over-year growth. The company serves 100,000+ organizations and has raised over $400 million from investors including General Atlantic. As IT teams consolidate identity tooling and adopt zero-trust architecture, JumpCloud's platform sits at that intersection, supporting continued expansion into mid-market and enterprise accounts.
