Three clicks to anywhere interface
Designed to reduce administrative overhead without sacrificing visibility and control, the compact, intelligent and easy-to-manage format enables instant status checks and system management. The unique dashboard starts by presenting all vital system statistics on a single page, allowing simple navigation and giving you unrivaled insight and control.
End-to-end message forensics
Detailed searches of message logs, queues and the onboard quarantine save time spent tracking lost, misplaced, or dropped emails and reduce helpdesk burden. In addition, administrators can produce statistical reports and generate predictive metrics on system capacity and availability.
Automatic updates and software upgrades
Sophos Email Appliances automatically check for protection updates every five minutes, providing the most up-to-date email security available. Alternatively, you can download and apply updates manually or schedule them according to your requirements.
