How will this new feature address your business requirements?:
It will increase our efficiency; we now have to log in again a lot. And especially with long e-mail logins, this is not the desired situation.321 votes -

Remove UAC prompt behavior
The feature requested is to change the User Account Control (UAC) behavior of the Sophos Endpoint on windows clients (we are using Windows 7 Pro). Right-clicking the taskbar Sophos Icon or selecting a folder and “Scan with Sophos AV” launches a UAC popup prompting the user to allow Sophos to make changes to the computer.
Can you please remove this UAC prompt. It adds an unnecessary step that is not required by competitor AV endpoints. It can also lead to reduced security as users may lower their UAC settings so as to not get the ‘annoyance’ of the popup.

Do not buffer internet radio as it causes delay in starting a stream
Since we are a media/news company, we have multiple users across the company that stream numerous internet radio stations. Since these are true streaming stations that use little bandwidth, the scanning agent will buffer 2 MB of data before passing it to the client, causing a delay of 5-6 minutes to start the stream. This feature would reduce the IT load of having to manually enter an exception for each streaming radio network.

Groups for servers
With the new servers components in Cloud, users with large server infrastructures want to be able to group their servers together.
Groups are implemented for users, but currently there is nothing for servers. The user I spoke with would like to be able to group his servers into things like 'SQL servers', 'Email Servers', 'File servers' etc.

Allow device control in server policies
When we introduced the new server licenses into Cloud we scrapped the idea of device control from the servers. Whilst I'm aware that it wasn't working from a user-based policy view when talking about servers, what's to stop us from have device-based policies for device on the servers? If it was good enough for SEC, surely it's good enough for Cloud too?

customer wants to include devices for scanning, because they want to use one policy for different user / devices with different card reader and usb stick

Suppress popup notifications
It will make my users not hate the product. We just installed Sophos on our Macs and these pop-up messages are making my users MAD. This can be solved by user preference to suppress pop-notification (particularly if logging is still active).
I will have to find another solution if this persists until renewal time.

enable domain search on groups
We have a number of customers who are adding in groups of computers from multiple workgroups/domains. When you import these, the users are captured in Cloud as "domain\name" but groups are only captured as "name".
This means that searching for groups can be complicated. One example is a customer who has 5 companies. Each company has an "HR" group. In Cloud, this will show up as "HR" 5 times rather than Company1\HR, Company2\HR etc. which makes searching and reporting very complicated.
I know we don't support multi domain sync but simply capturing and working with the full group name would…

Show scan status in events
If I start a scan remotely (Scan now), it is not visible if the scan has been started and when the scan is finished. Would be great to see the start and finish time as an event in the Cloud Console.

Re-Assign Devices to Users
Once a machine has been added to the Cloud console, a re-assignment to a different user is not possible (at least I didn't find this option).
Please activate a button or drop-down menu, which allows admins to easily re-assign the machine to a different user.5 votes
