Enterprise console management for MAC OS?

PamP

I'm running enterprise console version 5.2.1 R2. Client software is Sophos Endpoint Security and Control version 10.3. I have been able to install the MAC client successfully. But I am not able to manage the MACs on the enterprise console. When we purchased Sophos, we were told it can run on both PCs and MACs. But wasn't told to us, is that it does not support the policies. I got this information from sophos support. I am angry that we were not given these specifics prior to the purchase. Has anyone had any success using the enterprise console and managing macs? What good does it do to bother installing sophos on the MACs then? 

Following is a list of policies we do not support on Mac OS X:
Firewall
NAC
Application Control
Data Control
Device Control (will come with v9.1)
Full Disk Encryption
Tamper Protection (will come with v9.1)
Patch
Web Control

    Hello TerranceBennett,

    [first of all, I'm not Sophos] so far in Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X there's only the AV component (including Web Protection), Device Control (please see the link for details) is about to be added and, if what I heard is correct, Tamper Protection too. 

    About two years ago Application Control was next on the list but obviously this has been reconsidered. According to Darren Teagles' post in the former thread Web Control could be next. As for the remaining features, I don't expect them in the near future. Patch (for the Windows platform) is anyway a tool for Assessment only. Thus at the moment Updating and AV are the only features/policies you can test.
