Sophos Central Reviews & Product Details

Sophos Central is that it lets me manage everything—like computers, firewalls, and mobile devices—from one easy-to-use dashboard. I don’t have to jump between different tools; everything is in one place.The integration with other Sophos products is seamless, and their support team is always responsive whenever help is needed. It’s simple, clean, and gives real-time protection updates, so I always know my systems are safe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial setup can feel slightly technical for beginners.But overall, it’s still very reliable and easy to manage once everything is set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Sophos Central is the way it unifies everything into a single, cloud-based console. Instead of juggling multiple dashboards for firewall, endpoint, email, and mobile, I can manage it all from one place. The interface is clean, policies are easy to deploy, and reporting is clear and detailed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initially, the wide range of features can feel a little overwhelming, especially for someone new to the Sophos ecosystem. However, this quickly becomes a positive because it means you don’t need multiple vendors or platforms — everything you need for protection and response is consolidated into one tool.

The ease of installation is notable. Once you have access to the central dashboard, you just need to download the appropriate .exe file for your operating system and install it on the server with just a few clicks. The rest is handled automatically by the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, it does not uninstall properly. In such cases, we need to start the Windows server in Safe Mode and make certain changes to the Sophos service. However, customers often hesitate to proceed with this step, as it requires significant downtime Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very easy to centrally manage all of our Sophos customers from one location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
