Well if you have a big network, how do you easily deploy client-by-client
scanning?
Updates: One centralised point, or everyone having an update schedule?
Support: One server to debug, or hundreds of clients?
Licensing: Several single user licences, or one licence for the whole
network?
Yes, scalability is better, but support overhead goes up considerably.
