Overall Satisfaction with Sophos Central Device Encryption

Because our clients have top-secret products and processes, we must work on a highly secure network. We also need to protect our data from hackers, so we need complete control over network security. To allow certain websites and block others, Sophos Central makes it easy to granularly control each device on the network, as well as overall internet security rules.

Pros

  • Blocks unwanted website access.
  • Allows access to websites that a blanket blocking would prevent us from using.
  • Isolates user/machines individually to check/watch for errors and issues.

Cons

  • The blocking of specific websites could be explained and executed more easily. It should be a separate option to block unwanted website access more easily.
  • We can rest assured our network is monitored and secure, and peace of mind is priceless.
  • We have been able to increase productivity by easily blocking websites that employees may want to access outside of their scope of work (ie, cause distractions).
Again, although we had it set up by an outside IT administrator, it is easy enough to maintain day-to-day monitoring with little to no training. However, some tasks are more challenging for the layperson.
  • McAfee Total Protection (discontinued)
Sophos is a little more hands-on, which is a good thing. It gives the user more personalized options and control.

Would you buy Sophos Central Device Encryption again?

It is mid-level when it comes to running it by a non-IT person. I have no technical/IT training and can figure out on my own (or with a little web search) how to do most tasks. It may not be best for the very tech-challenged operator.
