JumpCloud report finds 87% of IT leaders would consider switching suites

JumpCloud published a report with Google Workspace that found 87% of IT leaders would consider changing their productivity suite to adopt a more unified and secure platform.

The study surveyed 250 U.S. IT leaders from enterprise organizations and reported that respondents managed an average of over nine different tools while just 6% said their current setup worked perfectly. Respondents cited high administrative tasks, complex security setup, and complex pricing as challenges with separate systems.

Work Transformation Set was described as designed to address the problems cited in the research, under one Google Cloud contract. It combined Google's Gemini Artificial Intelligence (AI) models with centralized control over identities and devices and advanced security. The findings showed IT teams were searching for a new platform to make work simpler and more secure.

“The fact that 87% of enterprises are ready for a change proves the market is moving past old technology,” said Greg Keller, co-founder and chief technology officer, JumpCloud. “IT teams want consolidation, not more add-on tools. Our work with Google Workspace provides just that. Work Transformation Set is a single cloud system. It uses a zero trust security model that replaces many separate tools with a single, clear place to manage users and devices.”
