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.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase has very simple steps."
"The features I find most valuable in Jamf Protect are amazing because any malware or any viruses can harm the entire fleet, and Jamf Protect takes action and protects against any alerts, and we are safe from any viruses and any attacks from the entire world."
"Jamf Protect has had a positive impact on my organization, as it has been one of the best tools that protects against malware."
"Jamf Protect has positively impacted my organization by reducing malware, spam, and these kinds of threats from our company."
"My advice for others looking into using Jamf Protect is that it is an excellent tool to use to secure your devices, so I would recommend moving forward with it."
"The tool's tech support is helpful and efficient. It also has an active community."
"Jamf Protect offers next-generation antivirus and Apple specific defense features, with real-time updates that block or look for any malicious software on the device, such as Trojans or crypto miners, so people feel secure and we feel secure as administrators that end users are protected from ransomware and other kinds of malicious software."
"The quick updates are really good. If a new OS update drops today, I'll have the Jamf Protect update within a few hours. It's also compatible with all Mac OS versions, and there's zero lag or performance impact."
"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."
"Sprout Social impacts my organization positively by allowing me to gauge the sentiment around different topics and helping me to stay on top of my social media growth and reporting."
"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."
"The best features Sprout Social offers are the ability to post across all platforms from one place, the ability to review the performance of this post in one place, and also the ability to combine all the analytics from all these platforms into one report."
"Sprout Social is the best; it is very good, actually, because I have used Intercom and Zendesk, but when I look at the different software I have used as a customer service agent, I would go for Sprout Social as it is more complete and easy to navigate."
"Sprout Social has positively impacted the organizations that I have worked with by helping us to be more efficient and it was much easier to use rather than manually going into these social channels."
"The only outcome I have seen in my workflow because of Sprout Social is the time, as the same thing if I do manually will cost me around maybe one day or two days, and using Sprout Social this time has shortened to maybe one hour or one and a half hour maximum."
"We would not be able to do it without Sprout Social, and it is very easy to use; the user interface is very friendly and intuitive."
 

Cons

"Regarding improvements for Jamf Protect, I receive the warnings related to insecure website accesses through mail at a later stage, so 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."
"Jamf Protect can be improved by addressing the steep learning curve for the custom analytics engine."
"Beginners need initial training."
"The solution's integration with other tools is slow."
"The dashboard of Jamf Protect is quite challenging to understand, so it would be great if it were more user-friendly."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The scope of improvement will fall under the support hierarchy that the tool offers to the latest version that Apple derives for any of the latest operating systems to launch."
"Maybe trying to figure out the reason why sometimes the engagement could be less when posted through Sprout Social rather than manually."
"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."
"It is not perfect. Sometimes its information or its syncing to platforms is clunky, so you end up having slightly wrong information or data."
"There is a limitation for us with Sprout Social in publishing boosted content within LinkedIn, and we would appreciate that to be improved."
"Sprout Social can be improved because the user experience of having hundreds of channels to navigate can be quite fiddly, especially when trying to bulk post."
"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."
"Sprout Social could be improved by being able to schedule out Stories, which is a current limitation."
"Realistically, I find the pricing quite high."
