Policy Manager Proxy vs neighborcast
Is there any benefit to use neigborcast in branch office when there is also a Policy Manager Proxy v13.10 installed.

Client Security V13.10 currently has no support for neigborcast as that protocol is bases on AUA (Backweb).
AUA was replaced by GUTS2
Generally spoken:
if neighborcast is usefull in an environment in addition to PM Proxy depends on your hosts connection to the PMP. If they are all in the same 1GBit-Network, NC is not usefull. If some Clients are behind a slow VPN-Conection NC would be helpfull to reduce traffic, but then again it depends on the number of Clients behind that VPN.
Also if you are not able to place a PMP in the remote office NC would be helpfull.
(Hope this is beein read by some R&D and PMs)

CSPR13.10, I can still see Automatic Update Agent (v10.10) and Neighborcast setting in PM advanced view.

already in V13.00 release notes:
***
New protocol for delivering updates
The new protocol decreases the probability of clients having to do a full download of updates, for example after a weekend offline.
GUTS2 protocol has replaced BackWeb for downloading updates from F-Secure.
Note: Neighborcast for GUTS2 updates is currently not supported in this version.
