"Clean, Single-Pane Control and Reporting for the Sophos Ecosystem"
5/5
What do you like best about Sophos Central?

Enables a very clean oversight and configuration and control of the entire Sophos hardware and Software ecosystem. Also provides an easy reporting interface that helps with creating a report from"C" level reports to detailed technician styles reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sophos Central?

Only downside is the fact that in order to perform some admin level tasks requires a complex set of steps to get down far enough to perform those actions. Not always intuitive on how to get to where you need to be. If the interface could be customized in some fashion to make it any unneeded menus this would be an almost perfect single pane of glass interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sophos Central: One Console, Complete Security"
5/5

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.
