Sophos Complete Security Suite

dohc97

We are currently using an AV suite from another company.  I just wanted to ask your opinion on the above security suite as it is one of the products we are evaluating.  

- how efficient is it in catching virus, malware and adware

- how is it affecting the performance of both the server it is installed in and the user's machines

- how manageable is it as far as pushing to new machines

- can I install the Enterprise Console in a VM

I may have some more questions in the future.

Thanks..

    HI,

    Yes, you install on your chosen management server Enterprise Console.  This installs the software that can manage your endpoints from a point of view of defining groups and policies, etc..

    During the server install it also installs an application called Sophos Update Manager (SUM).  You also configure SUM through Enterprise Console.  SUM is the component that downloads the updates from Sophos and ultimately ends up creating a share that contains the client software  (\\server\sophosupdate).

    Once complete you need to protect your clients and server from this location to install the endpoint software.

    Hope that helps.

    Regards,
