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

    ruckus- Our firewall is a Sophos UTM and  we are absolutely blocking specific web sites on the UTM as well as content filtering. Until the very recent 9.2 firmware upgrade on the UTM, it was not able to block https websites. We have a problem with students able to get to facebook and youtube https websites. But I have been able to block them, (only on windows clients), on the sophos AV client installed via the policy applied to that computer group from the enterprise console. We also use the sophos client to block the ultrasurf app that students have been able to use via their thumb drive. The UTM does not allow us to block that app. Another example is vine.co. This is a social media website out of Columbia. The UTM can not block it, but the sophos client can.
