Our console makes this really easy with what we call Settings Templates.

Fine grain tuning on these policies, say you want to set a scanning exception on certain devices only, or only enable certain shields and so on.

For example, you may have a large group of machines with basic settings, a smaller group of machines to which you deploy a client VPN along with AV, and a group of servers with their own specific settings.

Ability to easily apply different policies, features, and licenses to different devices.

Ability to add additional features such as a client VPN, password management client, webcam shield, or even add on integrated patch management (Windows devices).

Automation through scheduling tasks through the management console, such as product updates and such.

It means you can see reports, device status, control policies, etc. Our business AV is managed through our management console, and doing this through the cloud is by far the most popular way.

Ease of management is one thing to strongly consider.
