What is XFA?

XFA is the device security solution that identifies every device used by people in your organization, informs users about risks, and verifies compliance with your security policy at login, without needing to manage the device. It runs standalone: no identity provider migration, no manual device enrollment.

What is JumpCloud?

JumpCloud is a cloud directory platform that helps organizations manage users, access and devices in one place, often as a replacement for Active Directory. JumpCloud's platform includes several services, including Device Trust, which aims to make sure that only managed and compliant devices can sign in to company apps. We will compare this specific feature with XFA.

What our customers say

"I think it's a good balance between being lightweight, non-intrusive, and transparent. Transparent in the sense of what you are looking at. The only way for me to get adoption was actually giving people access to the dashboard and showing what I'm looking at. Other solutions we tested didn't make it that transparent."
