A Look Into JumpCloud’s Q3 2020: Surging Demand for Access in a Remote World
“In the beginning of the year, we were just trying to keep our heads above water as everyone moved to working from home,” said Van Romine, IT manager at Inland Valley Association of Realtors. “Once the dust settled, we looked at our options for not just enabling everyone to work from home, but doing it in a way that was easy for our users, and simple for us. JumpCloud offered all of that without the nickel and diming or the learning curve required with multiple tools.”
It is hard to believe that we are already a month into Q4. 2020 has brought unpredictability, especially for IT teams working overtime to support remote work and demand for secure identity management and user authentication across IT resources is surging. We are seeing this growth reflected in usage of JumpCloud’s 700+ SSO connectors: from Q319 to Q320, Slack usage authentications in JumpCloud have more than tripled, Zoom and Dropbox more than doubled, and Google, AWS, and Atlassian increased by more than 70%!
Why are we seeing such incredible growth in authentications? We continue to invest in making JumpCloud the easiest to use cloud directory platform. Whether that is delivering new features and functionality across access, identity and device management, which we’ve done a lot of, or building new courses in JumpCloud University or adding chat support in the product, we are working hard to ensure that we are delivering the most value and the best experience for all our customers.
Job number one for us is to rapidly deliver new functionality in the JumpCloud platform that makes it easier for IT admins to secure access and identity management — especially in a remote work environment. In Q3 we delivered a number of new features. Some highlights include:
- Okta Integration so admins can provision a user once and extend their Okta identity access to virtually every resource including systems, servers, on-prem applications, storage systems, and WiFi / VPN networks
- Full zero-day MDM support for macOS Big Sur so admins and their users can seamlessly upgrade Apple fleets
- Streamline credential management workflows (Read more...)
