It is mid-level when it comes to running it by a non-IT person. I have no technical/IT training and can figure out on my own (or with a little web search) how to do most tasks. It may not be best for the very tech-challenged operator.

Alternatives Considered
It is a proven manufacturer with reliable functionalities. It releases fast and accurate updates when needed. It is still developing many new features and has a good knowledge base and support when needed. Furthermore, we are already familiar with other Sophos products, which means it fits well with company policy.

Return on Investment
  • It's had a positive impact as it's allowed us to effectively secure hard drives with bitlocker encryption
  • A larger part of our work force works from home, and Sophos can be deployed remotely and will start encryption almost straight away on any computer that isn't already encrypted.
