Overall Satisfaction with Sophos Central Device Encryption

We use Sophos to manager our bitlocker encryption on our endpoints. We use it on around 400 - 500 endpoints. It's very easy to deploy and quick to configure. It's important as it ensure that our drives are secure and keeps information within them safe. It's a simple software but very effective

Pros

  • It's very easy to set up
  • It's simple to use
  • Works very quickly in applying policy

Cons

  • Sometimes It can be difficult removing Sophos from endpoints, especially in circumstances where it'd been accidently deleted off the main portal some time ago.
  • It can be a little unpredicable at times when it comes to forcing bitlocker encryption.
  • It's had a positive impact as it's allowed us to effectively secure hard drives with bitlocker encryption
  • A larger part of our work force works from home, and Sophos can be deployed remotely and will start encryption almost straight away on any computer that isn't already encrypted.
It does what it says on the tin. You're not going to get an all singing and dancing system. You're getting something which just does exactly what you need it to. In our case, this was bit locker encryption management. It's very easy to use, with a very clean user interface.

Sophos is really easy to use, and the software is very light on endpoints. We use it solely for it's bitlocker encryption and it has the very handy ability to force encryption as soon as the software is installed. It also keeps itself updated to the latest version without the need for intervention and it's very easy to locate and find recovery keys should any computer go into bitlocker recovery.
