Is a Seresto flea collar adequate protection for ticks and fleas? Should I also use a flea/tick shampoo?

I've had mixed reviews with the Seresto flea collar and have had a handful of dogs that have still had fleas even with the collar. I prefer to use an oral preventative such as Bravecto or Nexgard. Frontline, which is a topical preventative, is also a good option.
