We are looking at replacing Vipre with Malwarebytes (I know, you don't need to tell me). But I have some questions about it.

1. How is Endpoint Security, different than Malwarebytes 3?
2. Why would I choose Endpoint Security over Malwarebtres 3 for a small office setting?
3. Is it possible to get the console for Malwarebytes 3 or is the console only available in Endpoint Security?
4. What is our partner cost of Endpoint Security? Per Seat? Per Year? Discounts on buying in Bulk?
5. Are licenses different for server and workstation? Or is one size fits all?

Here is what I want ideally.

I would like to have a console management portal so I can administer everything from my server/desktop. It must be on-site because the owners do not like stuff in the cloud (old school). I would also like the ability to have fine control over each workstation/server. Run scans, get emails when something is found, pretty basic management console stuff.

I contacted the sales team but they never replied back to my email. So, I figured since I am part of the forums, maybe someone here could answer some pretty basic questions.

Sorry sales haven't replied.  If you are a partner, then reach to your sales/channel contact again.

On the client:

• Malwarebytes 3 is an unmanaged single integrated protection & scanning module. It has a GUI for configuration. Email support is included.
• Endpoint Security has a management agent and three discrete modules.  Two modules are managed, the third module anti-ransomware is unmanaged, but coming under management soon. Email support is included.
• Cloud Management/Endpoint Protection manages the Malwarebytes 3 version, with addition of a management agent.  GUI is mostly suppressed and settings are centrally managed.  It includes premium telephone support.
• Licensing the is same for workstation and server.

Management is free/included

• On premises console will meet your requirements for management.  Management server is a .Net application with IIS Express and SQL Express (or SQL Server).  Multiple consoles can be used, one on the server itself but secondary copies can be installed onto other workstations and communicate over TLS to the server. Alternatively, you can RDP to server and launch its console there.  If you are doing 5-10 workstations with Endpoint Security consider that incurs costs of a server (Cloud does not).   
• Cloud management is much less onerous for small businesses. Security can actually be better because it is better managed by us.  If laptops/road-warriors/home users are a requirement, cloud management also works outside of the perimeter.  Management can be done from any workstation over Chrome browser.

Commercial/partner costs need to be discussed with Sales.

I am in international tech team, so just jumped in here.  Please do reach out again to sales for proper guidance.
