"Revolutionized My Workflow with Seamless Device Integration"
4/5
What do you like best about macOS Sierra?

macOS Sierra was a turning point for my workflow. The Universal Clipboard feature, which allows me to copy text on my iPhone and paste it instantly on my Mac, is something I use every single day. This seamless integration between my devices saves me time constantly and eliminates the old hassle of emailing things to myself just to get them on my desktop. The OS is stable and efficient, making tasks like writing papers and managing emails effortless. I also use macOS Sierra with Microsoft Office 365 and Google Chrome, and the OS handles these third-party apps perfectly. The 'Split View' feature lets me run Chrome and Word side-by-side seamlessly, without any lag. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about macOS Sierra?

The feature that needs the most improvement is Siri on the Desktop. While it sounds good in theory, in practice, it feels awkward and slow to talk to my computer—especially in a shared office or public space. It breaks my workflow rather than helping it. I find that using the keyboard shortcut for Spotlight Search (Cmd + Space) is still significantly faster and more accurate for finding files than waiting for the voice assistant to process a request. The initial setup was kind of difficult at the beginning but after making some research on YouTube we finally got the hang of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how macOS Sierra integrates smoothly between the software and hardware of my system. It understands every aspect of my computer, allowing me to adjust system preferences, and manage applications, file handling, and software installations. Setting it up was pretty easy, especially if you know a bit about system upgrading and computers. I also appreciate how it provides me all the software I need for my profession, supporting me in running applications and producing work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about macOS Sierra?

macOS Sierra is quite old. Since its time, a lot of things have changed and upgraded to more web and cloud-friendly services. At its time, didn't it have all that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Crisp yet smooth experience"
5/5
What do you like best about macOS Sierra?

No hiccups so far, and the automatic RAM clearing is easily the best feature. on the integrations front, my tech stack works well on Sierra and I bet they are good for other integrations too. But the support was average considering the price point of apple products. For AI, I think they are using ChatGPT now which is a big improvement on Siri Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about macOS Sierra?

Laptop is expensive. Could be more affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Apple Integration, Reliable Performance"
4.5/5
What do you like best about macOS Sierra?

I use macOS Sierra for general computing tasks, software development, and managing files and applications efficiently on my Mac. It helps me stay organized and run development tools smoothly. I really like its smooth performance, clean and intuitive interface, and features like Siri integration and iCloud syncing, which make daily tasks easier. I also value Siri for quick searches and commands, iCloud Drive for seamless file access across devices, and Continuity/Handoff for starting work on one device and finishing on another, all of which boost my productivity. The initial setup was straightforward, just follow the on-screen instructions, sign in with Apple ID, and basic settings are ready within minutes. I would rate it a 9 out of 10 because it’s stable, user-friendly, and integrates well with other Apple devices, with only minor performance issues on older Macs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about macOS Sierra?

Sometimes macOS Sierra can feel slow on older Macs, and some apps may have compatibility issues. Improved support for legacy software and better system optimization would help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid daily driver!"
5/5
What do you like best about macOS Sierra?

The universal clipboard, picture-in-picture videos, and Apple Pay integration are simply magnificent. The overall design is clean and intuitive, making it very easy to use even after being away from Mac for many years. The ease of implementation was impressive - setup was quick and migrating from my old PC was straightforward and seamless. The ease of integration with my existing ecosystem was outstanding; everything from cloud services to external devices worked flawlessly together. I ended up using it every day for an extended period, and it became a significant part of my routine. When I needed help, Apple's customer support resources and community forums were helpful in resolving the few questions I had during the transition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about macOS Sierra?

Performance on older Macs can be sluggish at times, and I encountered some compatibility issues with older applications that hadn't been updated yet. While customer support documentation was generally good, finding solutions for niche compatibility problems sometimes required digging through forums rather than official support channels. These weren't dealbreakers but required some workarounds initially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5
What do you like best about macOS Sierra?

I really appreciate that macOS Sierra is compatible with iOS, making it great for both everyday use and software development. It's a good operating system that I find easy to understand and use, thanks to its simple and minimalist design. I like using macOS Sierra for its connectivity with other devices and for the tools I need for work, like the IDE for software development and the voice-to-text feature. I have no complaints about it, and I find it to be very easy to set up, just needing to search for shortcuts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about macOS Sierra?

One thing that could be improved is to make it more configurable. It's really closed and not allowed to have many third-party apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
