Avast Business On-Premise Management Console Version 7.29

[Pavel Jirsak]

We're pleased to announce that Avast Business On-Premise Management Console 7.29 has been released!

This version brings you mainly stability improvements and several bug fixes. In order to update your console, you need to go to https://www.avast.com/installation-files and download the installer manually. The in-app version check will detect the new version gradually in a few weeks across regions. Updated docker version will follow later.

Avast Business On-Premise Management Console Version 7.29 Release Notes

[KDibble]

Please add the reporting features now present in the cloud console to the on-premise console.

Please add the ability to differentiate messaging between the on-premise console and the endpoints so that I can cause the endpoints to be silent concerning updates, reboots, and anything else that is not a message announcing a malware detection, while still receiving email alerts from the on-premise console.

I am paying as much now for the on-premise console system as I paid for the old Avast Business Protection SOA. I should still be getting all of the features of that product in the on-premise console system. Either that, or I should get a partial refund of what I've paid.

Thank you.
