Sophos Home Premium, built on Sophos’ security products business, isn’t the most user-friendly tool, but if you know what you’re doing and are trying to help those who don’t, it can be helpful in your job. This is because everything is managed remotely via a web browser. Just log in to the Sophos dashboard and you can see what everyone’s devices are doing. The homepage provides information about the number of threats and websites blocked on the device, plus it allows you to implement some parental controls if needed.
Additionally, there is keylogger protection and safe browser options to keep you safe when checking online banking. Unlike other virus protection software, Sophos has expanded functionality to include webcam protection.
So, what are the disadvantages? Sophos Home Premium can be quite clunky at times, and a bit intimidating given its wealth of options. What’s more, if you want to change simple settings, you still need to dig into the remote management portal in a web browser, making it less attractive for single-system use. However, if you’re a home tech support person, this is an ideal way to circumvent common problems.
