Small Office Protection vs. Small Business Solutions

 

Avast's Small Office Protection differs from Small Business Solutions in that it:

• has a subscription limit of 10, as it is meant for small businesses with limited devices
• cannot be installed on server operating systems
• can be installed on Android/iOS devices
• is only available as an unmanaged solution (whereas Essential/Premium/Ultimate Business Security can be managed via Avast Business Management Consoles as well)
• has a slightly different set of components

Small Office Protection-only components are:

• Sensitive Data Shield: Protects documents with personal information against unauthorized access and malware
• Do Not Disturb Mode: Silences notifications when any application is fullscreen
• Software Updater: Helps keep commonly used third-party software up to date to eliminate potential security risks

Small Business Solutions-only components are:

• Exchange: Protects Microsoft Exchange Server against threats without interfering with its performance
• SharePoint: Protects Microsoft SharePoint Server against threats without interfering with its performance
• SecureLine VPN:  Standalone VPN service
