How does Comodo Endpoint Security Manager Business Edition differ from competitors' endpoint solutions?

Yes you can, so long as the endpoints are able to access the Business Edition server via a VPN connection or the Internet. Even if the computer is never on the same network as the server (i.e. it's only Internet-connected), you can use the ‘Manage this Endpoint' feature of CIS 2012 or a customized Agent deployment package to connect the endpoint to the server and then manage it.

Can I use Endpoint Security Manager Business Edition to deploy CIS on my endpoints?

You can deploy CIS along with the management Agent using the new Deploy wizard in the console on all but the Business Edition Console version (as it does not include CIS licenses).
