Sophos is the best in the business when it comes to secure and compliant. I have a high level of peace of mind when offering this product to the clients where I am unsure of the competitors. Sophos is a brand I trust to keep clients safe.
We migrated from an on-premise Sophos SafeGuard solution. This was coupled with a separate on-premise Sophos Anti Virus. So the systems were on two separate on-premise servers. Also, this meant our users who were increasingly working away from the office, needed to be on the corporate VPN to be able to pick up new definitions and new policies. We migrated to Sophos Central. This is a single online, internet-facing portal that now contains both our Anti Virus and Encryption solutions. We are also a global business and can now have a single global system, with different 'region specific' policies that are applied by putting the endpoint into the region's group. This is much better for administering the systems and also for the users not having to connect to the VPN.
- Centralised portal for both Anti Virus and Encryption
- Internet-facing with the ability for global / multi region access for large organizations
- Multi-level, built-in admin roles for different access levels for your Support Team. Also, you can define new roles to tailor to your organization
- You will probably need to define some admin roles to suit your business unless you are a very large organization. The built-in roles are very siloed. For example, the Helpdesk role that your normal technician would probably be assigned cannot add nor move computers between groups.
- Good for multi-region organization
- Good for standardization across those regions
- Internet-facing for users and support staff
- Incorporates both AV and Encryption
- One bill for your AV and Encryption solutions
- Central portal for your AV reporting
- The ability to have Sophos assist you (for extra cost) to help you identify and react to threats in real time
This was a natural progression for us, as we have multiple Sophos products. We did not look to any other product.
