Sophos Endpoint - Hint when hovering mouse over Sophos icon in System Tray

Stephen Bentall

The on-premise version of Sophos Endpoint helpfully shows as a hint when the Endpoint was last updated, This is particularly useful to know having powered up a machine that has been off for sometime so as to be sure it is properly protected before doing anything else with it. At present,  to obtain this simple information when using the Sophos Central version of Sophos Endpoint it appears to be necessary to load the software by doubling clicking the icon in the system tray and then clicking on the 'About' label in the bottom right of the Sophos Endpoint windows.

Sophos Development: Could the behaviour of the on-premise version please be replicated in the Sophos Central version.

    Hello Stephen Bentall,

    It looks like you have already taken the appropriate steps and requested the feature via ideas.sophos.com
    Sophos Endpoint - Hint when hovering mouse over Sophos icon in System Tray

    Additionally, you can check the update status of your computers via Sophos Central:
    Overview>Logs & Reports> Computers (This will bring up the Computer Report)
    In there, you will see a "Last update" column that will allow you to see when were computers last updated.

    Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    Regards,

    Had I realised that ideas.sophos.com existed I would not have posted my request in the community forum. This was the first time I had used the forum and I was only using that since I, mistakenly it would appear, thought that is where the Support Engineer I made the suggestion in the first place suggested I raise the issue.

    Being able to see when computers were last updated using Sophos Central is of nt use or interest to [the majority of] the users of computers who do not have access to Sophos Central. They often need the assurance of knowing that their computers are being updated and when the most recent update took place, hence my suggestion that this information should be readily available without having tom load the Sophos Endpoint utility.
