Modernise your Active Directory. With JumpCloud you can have flexibility and modernity even when AD is already part of your stack. Break free of AD’s restrictions with a more modern alternative. Build an infrastructure that supports the resources you need — with or without AD.

Gain flexibility

Where AD prescribes, JumpCloud adapts. JumpCloud can accommodate just about any architecture. Work the way you want to — not the way your directory wants you to.

Cut complexity

AD is complex. It’s hard to learn, and hard to find the right talent. JumpCloud cuts through the complexity by delivering an easy-to-learn platform designed to be friendly for admins and users.

Vendor and OS diversity

Choose the vendors and devices that meet your team’s needs. While AD heavily favours Microsoft, JumpCloud supports just about any device and resource, regardless of OS or vendor.

Move to the cloud

AD’s on-premises model is outdated. Move your directory to the cloud for easier management, better savings, and a more modern environment that can support you no matter how you evolve.

How to modernise AD?

Extend AD with JumpCloud

Know you’ll never get rid of AD? You can still enjoy the benefits of JumpCloud by integrating it with AD. AD remains the identity authority, and you get access to whichever JumpCloud features you need.

Replace AD with JumpCloud

Ready to try something new? JumpCloud can fully replace AD. And it’s got a migration tool and team of professional services that make the switch seamless.

Wrap AD with JumpCloud

Not quite ready to get rid of AD? Wrap AD withJumpCloud — shift identity authority to JumpCloud, butkeep essential functions with AD until you’re ready to fully shift.
