9.0
Jamf Protect offers stable, reliable performance across macOS, with minimal impact and effective support resolving initial issues.
Sentiment score
6.4

In the alpha phase, we found out that it was taking twenty to thirty percent of CPU usage, and in some of the Macs, it was taking even more than seventy percent of CPU usage.
Endpoint Engineer Manager at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The endpoint agent has generally performed well without causing noticeable impact on system performance, which is important from both a security and end-user perspective.

Room For Improvement

Jamf Protect needs better SIEM integration, onboarding, AI, support, UI, documentation, device support, alert management, and pricing.
NICE CXone faces challenges with integration, performance, interface refinement, AI capabilities, and customer service efficiency, impacting user satisfaction.
There is no Windows or Android support, so expanding to Windows on that side would be beneficial.
Systems & Cloud Architect at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
If they could be flagged the moment I visit them, that would be great because I would know exactly which website was causing the warnings.
Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees
Expanding out-of-the-box support for additional SIEMs.
Project Manager at Wells Fargo
I need to log into different portals for NICE CXone, whereas my other competitor platforms offer single sign-on where I can log in once and access all partner-led programs and learning materials in one location.
Cx Product Manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
We wanted to integrate with our internal system for instant translations, and we were not able to do that, along with a couple of other things that illustrate that it is kind of an isolated system to itself, making it pretty hard to tap into and grow even further.
Program Manager at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Compared to challengers such as Zoom, which seem more cost-effective, NICE CXone's suite of products is very modular, so as they provide new services, you have to add to your existing package and this balloons your costs since there's an additional license needed to use the new tools, leading to potentially higher out-of-pocket expenses.
Operations Manager at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees
 

Setup Cost

Jamf Protect is costly but justified by features and integration, offering bundled, cost-effective options alongside Jamf Pro.
NICE CXone's contract-based pricing may seem piecemeal, with third-party seller influence affecting customer perceptions of expenses.
Jamf Protect includes a number of features that other EDR solutions charge additional fees for, such as compliance and device control.
Project Manager at Wells Fargo
The setup cost is low, depending on whether you deploy it via Jamf distributor or automatically.
Systems & Cloud Architect at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
There's no increase, but I still know the price is high, and it's worth the investment.
Server Administrator Coordinator at Cairo American College
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for NICE CXone is that for the money, it was very nickel-and-diming.
Director workforce management at a wellness & fitness company with 5,001-10,000 employees
 

Valuable Features

Jamf Protect enhances macOS security with deep telemetry, real-time alerts, compliance automation, and seamless integration, maintaining efficient performance.
NICE CXone provides ease of use, flexibility, AI tools, and robust features for efficient, adaptable workforce and customer management.
I assess Jamf Protect's endpoint telemetry data as enhancing our threat detection process a lot because without Jamf Protect, we would be unsafe at all.
Server Administrator Coordinator at Cairo American College
The behavior-based detection is particularly valuable because it focuses on suspicious activities rather than relying solely on malware signatures.
Lead Product Security Architect at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
Using AI tools recently, Jamf Protect has positively impacted our organization because many AI tools have some security holes, so it is helping us to be safe while users are exploring AI tools.
Server Administrator Coordinator at Cairo American College
The switch from using Avaya, which required connecting to a hard or soft phone, to using WebRTC via a web browser has significantly improved customer service efficiency.
Technology Specialist at Cognizant
I find workforce management to be the most valuable in my day-to-day work because it allows us to schedule the agents and put them in the right place at the right time so that they are able to answer calls accordingly and our customers are not waiting for someone to speak to.
Senior Enterprise Solution Consultant at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
When we used Calabrio, we were not maintaining 100% uptime. Some months, it was approximately 97-98%. With NICE CXone, we had very few total outages with regards to the interaction feature, which is the call recording side of things.

Nick Rudman - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Manager at Wells Fargo
Security platform has reduced malware risk and has strengthened compliance for macOS endpoints
Jamf Protect provides multiple levels of telemetry collection, allowing me to select how sensitive I want to be on event triggers. Jamf Protect allows me to monitor against specific threat categories aligned to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. In addition to protection, I utilize Jamf Protect to monitor our endpoint compliance with the CIS critical security control baseline. If the environment is predominantly Apple based, Jamf Protect is a strong solution for providing EDR capabilities to endpoints. The detection capabilities are on par with other leading EDR tools, and it integrates well with Jamf MDM. The compliance telemetry, log forwarding, and USB device management included as part of Jamf Protect provide a good return on investment. Jamf Protect has had a positive impact on my organization, as it has been one of the best tools that protects against malware. It offers better detection of malware, reducing downtime and risk to our network by approximately 30 to 50 percent. Implementing it is straightforward, although there can be a steep learning curve in general, especially for less technical users. The competitive pricing included in the business package is great, and compliance with our security standards has been maintained.

Crowdsourced knowledge has grown into a trusted customer hub and now supports richer adoption journeys
One inconvenience is that because we are crowdsourced, we have hundreds of contributors every year, with most people only submitting one article, maybe two, so it does not make sense to pay for licenses for all of those people. This leads to some intermediary manual copy-paste processes because we just cannot have everybody working in the system itself, making it a little bit problematic for maintaining a source of truth. The main issues with NICE CXone are the lack of ability to integrate with some internal things that we want to do; it has to do with the way the system is designed, which is complex. We wanted to integrate with our internal system for instant translations, and we were not able to do that, along with a couple of other things that illustrate that it is kind of an isolated system to itself, making it pretty hard to tap into and grow even further. There are a couple of little issues with reporting that have not been very good, but really, the system is very functional.
