Robert Ojok

Systems Engineer Iii Apple Devices (Jamf Engineering) at a retailer with 10,001+ employees

Unified sign-on has simplified password management and now secures our mobile workforce

The ability to have a single password for the local device and the same password for the IDP is part of our security requirements. Jamf Connect integrates with multi-factor authentication from any IDP and facilitates initial device enrollment. It ensures that when a new user sets up the device, they sign in with their IDP username and password, which then creates the profile on the device. Furthermore, Jamf Connect is now integrated into Jamf Self Service Plus, providing a single dashboard for user password management and allowing users to sync and change their passwords. Additionally, Jamf Connect enhances security by offering two-factor authentication and permitting users to manage or seek help through support features directly within the app.

Social Engagement Manager at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees

Centralized social channels have transformed daily engagement and reporting workflows

Regarding how Sprout Social can be improved, these are very minor areas. Sometimes we have this metric called action rate, which reflects how fast a message has been touched in Sprout Social, whether that is the message being tagged, responded to, or closed out. Apparently, we cannot get a 100% action rate because some responses come in that are auto-replied to, and that action rate misses that. I think this is one thing that can be improved: figuring out how to count those auto-responded messages. This is a niche area. Outside of that, I do not have much advice for improvements in Sprout Social; I truly think it is a hub of value and provides a lot for us. The user interface is great; it is super friendly. For someone who has never touched it before, I knew where everything was and maneuvered through it within a week of using it. The integrations are seamless with all of our social media accounts: Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and all of that. We can also export data and PDF files, which helps us with other projects. I see very minimal improvements needed on my end; I think it is a very valuable program that we use.

"Sprout Social has positively impacted my organization with enhanced engagements, enhanced reach for our social posts, and better ROI for our investment in our social channels."

"One of the biggest advantages of Sprout Social is its user-friendly dashboard and clear visual reports, which make it easy to interpret data and present insights to clients."

Cons

"Overall, there is a lack of consistent experience sometimes with some of their features."

"Jamf Connect is beginning to implement Multi-Factor Authentication for offline authentication, but the setup documentation is insufficient."

"The logs are an area with a shortcoming."

"The main use case for Jamf Connect was to synchronize local accounts with the identity provider, like Entra. However, due to some limitations with the enrollment sequence and user limitations, we decided to discontinue using it."

"The solution's UI could be more user-friendly for the setup process."

"What can be improved is the login banner resizing. Currently, it is not fully compatible and could benefit from being a full-screen size banner on the Mac device."

"We have faced issues with the product's configuration. If we use the tool with other business manager solutions, then there is the issue of naming conventions. The tool needs to be careful with newer updates so that it doesn't break any of the existing configurations."

"There is room for improvement with Jamf Connect in reducing its cost and overcoming limitations during pre-stage enrollment, which prevent it from creating MDM-capable users."

More Jamf Connect cons

"My advice to others considering Sprout Social is that I believe it is a good platform to use temporarily for some clients, but it does not scale well for growth."

"Currently, in the pilots that I have done, I have not found it to be very highly accurate, so there is a felt need to get improvements in those areas."

"It is not perfect. Sometimes its information or its syncing to platforms is clunky, so you end up having slightly wrong information or data."

"Sometimes, when it comes to user experience, it's really hard to tag businesses in the copy because the way they appear in the dropdown is really slow, and it doesn't always find them, even when I use the at symbol to tag them."

"There is a limitation for us with Sprout Social in publishing boosted content within LinkedIn, and we would appreciate that to be improved."

"I know Sprout Social is expensive; it is on the higher side."

"If you do not already have existing solutions and you are using the platform to help schedule out marketing campaigns, it will not be that helpful."

"Sprout Social could be improved by being able to schedule out Stories, which is a current limitation."

More Sprout Social cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is good."

"The solution's price is reasonable."

"I rate the cost as three out of ten, with ten being the highest."

"We pay 2 dollars per device monthly. For the plus version, you have to pay 4 dollars per month. I think the product will give discounts based on the number of users and devices."

"It's relatively inexpensive."

"Jamf Connect has a yearly licensing cost, which is expensive."

"The pricing model could be improved, especially considering the availability of alternative MDM solutions like Kandji, which offers similar features for free or at a lower cost."

"The pricing is definitely on the higher side."
