Find out how Sophos Central differs from Sophos Enterprise Console.
Sophos Central differs from Sophos Enterprise Console (on-premise management) in three ways.
Management in the cloud
The Sophos Central console is hosted in the cloud by Sophos. You don’t need a management server, and you don’t have to install and update the management console.
User-based policies
Sophos Enterprise Console applies policies only to computer groups. Sophos Central gives you a choice. You can set policies for:
Sophos Cloud Central Server
- Users or user groups. These policies apply to all computers or other devices associated with each user.
- Computers or computer groups.
Dedicated protection for servers
Sophos Enterprise Console manages computers and servers in the same way. Sophos Central manages servers separately. Server policies apply to specific servers, no matter who logs on. Server protection also automatically recognizes some common server applications, so you don’t need to set complicated scanning exclusions.
