Structured training has created a continuous learning path and now filters committed agents
I do not see anything that needs improvement because all the features are great. However, I noticed during continuous assessments that for Dreamport, which employs agents from various regions, including Africa, electricity and internet access are problematic. While training new agents with Mindtickle, I observed that when agents are taking a course and their internet connection drops, the course gets submitted automatically if they do not reconnect quickly. Agents only have three attempts for assessments. This can frustrate agents from countries in Africa, such as Nigeria. If Mindtickle could save progress even when internet connection drops and allow agents to retake the assessment when the connection reconnects, that would be helpful. That is the only thing I think could be worked on.

Centralized protection has secured global endpoints and simplifies daily threat response
I have noticed pain points around installation. Whenever I want to install on devices that are Windows, it is usually a lot of hassle because it is very easy to install on a MacBook. However, when a user is using Windows, installing Sophos Central on Windows is usually a serious undertaking. I think they can improve on that. Additionally, the installation takes a really long time for Sophos Central. While that might be fine if it is doing its job, for Windows it is really quite a lot when you are installing for a particular person. Regarding needed improvements, I would suggest something. Zoho has this ManageEngine feature where users can actually turn off a device from the administrator end. I think if Sophos Central could integrate that in their system, whereby when there is a high alert, I as an IT administrator can easily go there and click on something to turn off the user's work device, I think that would be something I would love to have. That is a feature I would appreciate. I believe if Sophos Central could have something like remote desktop access, similar to Zoho ManageEngine, where when a particular device is attacked, you can toggle off the device from your end or maybe access the device remotely and render it non-functional, that is something I would appreciate seeing on Sophos Central in the future.
