That doesn\u2019t mean we are forgetting 2021. In fact, it was a really eventful year for us. I wouldn\u2019t presume to say it was a great year, for we were deeply concerned by the never-ending stream of new COVID-19 variants. However, we got through it stronger and better. We are looking forward to take a big step into the future now that 2022 is here.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, we introduced a whole host of new features, hosted two successful events and successfully adopted hybrid work. We also had Frosty, our own little Hexnode elf, who went around the globe to solve the issues of IT admins for a secure and safe Hexmas.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.hexnode.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frosty-the-Hexelf.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.hexnode.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Frosty-the-Hexelf.png\" alt=\"Frosty the elf\" width=\"682\" height=\"425\" \/><\/a><\/center><center><i>Frosty, the Hexnode elf<\/i><\/center>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The result?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There was a direct increase of 40 percent in the number of customers in 2021 as compared to 2020.<\/li>\n<li>The number of devices managed by Hexnode increased by a whopping 37.5 percent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is really humbling to see how more and more customers around the world are trusting Hexnode to secure and manage their endpoints.<\/p>\n<h2>An Event-ful year<\/h2>\n<p>Hexnode followers had a lot to look forward to in 2021. There were two grand worldwide events \u2013 Hexnode Partner Summit 2021 and HexCon 2021 \u2013 conducted entirely virtually.<\/p>\n<h3>Hexnode Partner Summit 2021<\/h3>\n<p>Hexnode loves its partners. As part of the Hexnode family, we have continually brainstormed on what we could do more for partner enablement. In April 2021, Hexnode hosted its first-ever Partner Summit. It was conducted in three time zones and was undoubtedly a global success. The event kicked off with the mandatory keynote from Apu Pavithran, Founder and CEO at Hexnode. There were breakout sessions from industry leaders like Sean Ginevan, Kirsty Traill, Michael Brito and more. We also had training sessions from Hexnode experts, networking sessions and games. The highlight of the event was the announcement of Partner Awards.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"AY6yU7ddmL\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/hexnode-partner-summit-2021-key-highlights\/\">Hexnode Partner Summit 2021 &#8211; Key highlights<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Hexnode Partner Summit 2021 &#8211; Key highlights&#8221; &#8212; Hexnode Blogs\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/hexnode-partner-summit-2021-key-highlights\/embed\/#?secret=U7CVfMWyre#?secret=AY6yU7ddmL\" data-secret=\"AY6yU7ddmL\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>We have the Hexnode Partner Summit 2022 coming on April 21st.

There were a record number of speakers, attendees and sessions. The theme was cybersecurity and it is no exaggeration to say that the event was graced by almost all the leading cybersecurity experts from around the world. The sessions were really interactive with all the lively discussions by our brilliant attendees. Spanning three days, HexCon21 was a testament to how Hexnode community has grown. All the participation did not go unrewarded. Hexnode surprised the leaders on the leaderboard with exciting prizes like iPhone 13, iPad Mini and Apple Airpods Pro.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"Ln6I9Hx3dR\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/wrapping-up-hexcon21-a-massive-bow-to-our-customers\/\">Wrapping up HexCon21 \u2013 A massive bow to our customers<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Wrapping up HexCon21 \u2013 A massive bow to our customers&#8221; &#8212; Hexnode Blogs\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/wrapping-up-hexcon21-a-massive-bow-to-our-customers\/embed\/#?secret=duMUWwjiKF#?secret=Ln6I9Hx3dR\" data-secret=\"Ln6I9Hx3dR\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>We are hoping that HexCon22 will be even bigger and better and hopefully a full-fledged in-person event.<\/p>\n<h2>Awards and recognitions<\/h2>\n<p>Hexnode has always prioritized providing the customers with the best value possible. Leading analysts and research firms recognized the efforts and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/category\/accolades\/?utm_source=hexnode_blog_hexnode_in_2021&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=internal_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">achievements<\/a> of Hexnode. We have listed a few here:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The UEM solution earned an honorable mention in Gartner\u2019s Magic Quadrant for Unified Endpoint Management 2021. Gartner had also mentioned Hexnode as a \u201cNotable Vendor\u201d in its Midmarket Context: Magic Quadrant for Unified Endpoint management.<\/li>\n<li>Forrester, the leading global market research company, included Hexnode as a Mobility Specialist in Now Tech: Unified Endpoint Management report for Q2.<\/li>\n<li>KuppingerCole Leadership Compass listed Hexnode as a vendor to watch.<\/li>\n<li>G2 recognized Hexnode as a High Performer in the latest G2 Grid for Unified Endpoint Management. G2 also crowned Hexnode as a High Performer in the MDM category in its 2021 winter, spring and summer grid reports. Hexnode made to the top of the MDM list in summer, earning itself a Leader badge too.<\/li>\n<li>Hexnode won a 2021 Tech Cares award from TrustRadius.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Feature highlights<\/h2>\n<p>Products like Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solutions stay relevant only if new features are regularly released. The updates have to be smart and pertinent. They should be something that is in demand and appropriate to the changing times. It is definitely a challenge \u2013 one that Hexnode had no problem in undertaking. At Hexnode, we recognized the need for features that focuses on remote management and remote work. Many of the new updates reflect this goal. Let\u2019s take a quick look through the major feature releases in 2021.<\/p>\n<h3>Co-management for Windows<\/h3>\n<p>Co-management means managing the Windows devices in more than one UEM solution. It means that you can manage the Windows devices that are already managed in another UEM with Hexnode \u2013 without disenrolling the devices from the other UEM. This allows you to avail the features of both UEM solutions. Best of both worlds!<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"e2Bqde7Sle\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/shifting-gears-from-managing-to-co-managing-your-windows-devices\/\">Shifting gears from managing to co-managing your Windows devices<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Shifting gears from managing to co-managing your Windows devices&#8221; &#8212; Hexnode Blogs\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/shifting-gears-from-managing-to-co-managing-your-windows-devices\/embed\/#?secret=okuS6qBkkE#?secret=e2Bqde7Sle\" data-secret=\"e2Bqde7Sle\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>VPN for Windows<\/h3>\n<p>Windows remains one of the most popular operating systems for work. Work from home and hybrid work initiatives have ensured that a bulk number of employees are working remotely. The safety and security of the office network are not afforded to these employees. That\u2019s where VPN plays its role.<\/p>\n<p>VPN provides online privacy by encrypting internet traffic. It also helps in providing secure remote access to the company network. Hexnode already lets its admins configure and deploy VPN remotely to Android, iOS and Mac devices. In 2021, Hexnode also introduced a feature to allow admins to configure VPN in their managed Windows devices too.<\/p>\n<h3>Lost mode for Windows<\/h3>\n<p>If any of the managed Windows devices are misplaced or stolen, enable lost mode to prevent corporate data leakage. You can display a custom message, the phone number to be contacted and a footnote on the lost device screen.<\/p>\n<h3>Remote view for Mac and Windows<\/h3>\n<p>Troubleshooting is always easier with the Remote View feature. Now, Hexnode supports Remote View in Mac and Windows. This helps the IT admins to view and monitor the managed devices in real-time without physically accessing the devices.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"ZXKCaK4bZD\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/how-to-view-mac-screen-remotely-for-real-time-troubleshooting\/\">How to view your Mac screen remotely for real-time troubleshooting<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;How to view your Mac screen remotely for real-time troubleshooting&#8221; &#8212; Hexnode Blogs\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/how-to-view-mac-screen-remotely-for-real-time-troubleshooting\/embed\/#?secret=g0xjebXKHm#?secret=ZXKCaK4bZD\" data-secret=\"ZXKCaK4bZD\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"9mKJZWsGDZ\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/how-to-troubleshoot-remote-windows-10-devices-with-hexnode\/\">How to troubleshoot remote Windows 10 devices with Hexnode<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;How to troubleshoot remote Windows 10 devices with Hexnode&#8221; &#8212; Hexnode Blogs\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/how-to-troubleshoot-remote-windows-10-devices-with-hexnode\/embed\/#?secret=WO3KOdflpy#?secret=9mKJZWsGDZ\" data-secret=\"9mKJZWsGDZ\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Privacy Preferences for Mac<\/h3>\n<p>Control the privacy settings for Mac devices using Hexnode policies. You may wonder \u2013 why not just go to the Privacy tab in System Preferences and configure the settings manually? That would work for one or two devices but not when you have to manage hundreds or even thousands of devices. Configure the Privacy Preferences in Hexnode and push the policy in bulk to all the required devices.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"B2iwjhRhfu\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/ensuring-data-privacy-in-macs-using-the-privacy-preferences-policy-control\/\">Ensuring data privacy in Macs using the Privacy Preferences Policy Control<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Ensuring data privacy in Macs using the Privacy Preferences Policy Control&#8221; &#8212; Hexnode Blogs\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/ensuring-data-privacy-in-macs-using-the-privacy-preferences-policy-control\/embed\/#?secret=eUHIrJ4xWf#?secret=B2iwjhRhfu\" data-secret=\"B2iwjhRhfu\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Secure token for Mac<\/h3>\n<p>A secure token is used to perform cryptographic operations on your Mac, and the operations include enabling FileVault disk encryption and more. The secure token will be automatically generated for certain types of user accounts, such as the local admins created via Setup Assistant or Automated Device Enrollment. With Hexnode, you can grant secure tokens to each of the users within a Mac. However, you must enable the secure token for the admin user account.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"9XRAxEkfsl\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/mac-secure-token-everything-it-admins-should-know\/\">What is secure token and why is it important for macOS security?<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;What is secure token and why is it important for macOS security?&#8221; &#8212; Hexnode Blogs\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/mac-secure-token-everything-it-admins-should-know\/embed\/#?secret=XYx4ceinqg#?secret=9XRAxEkfsl\" data-secret=\"9XRAxEkfsl\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>System Extensions for Mac<\/h3>\n<p>Apple introduced System Extensions instead of KEXTs. System Extensions provide the same capabilities as KEXTs but in the user space rather than kernel space \u2013 providing more security to the devices. Hexnode lets the admins configure System Extensions settings such as network extensions, driver extensions and endpoint security extensions in a policy and push it to the devices over the air.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"TVuHaaBGDy\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/why-mac-system-extensions-are-the-modern-replacement-to-kernel-extensions-kexts\/\">Why Mac system extensions are the modern replacement to kernel extensions (KEXTs)<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Why Mac system extensions are the modern replacement to kernel extensions (KEXTs)&#8221; &#8212; Hexnode Blogs\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/why-mac-system-extensions-are-the-modern-replacement-to-kernel-extensions-kexts\/embed\/#?secret=Rt18SNl1B5#?secret=TVuHaaBGDy\" data-secret=\"TVuHaaBGDy\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Live terminal for Mac<\/h3>\n<p>How often have you wished that you could access the terminal in the managed Mac to get something done quickly? Terminals certainly make the lives of IT admins easier. However, the need to physically access the device each time takes away from its convenience. Hexnode came up with a solution with its Live Terminal feature. The IT admins who use Hexnode to manage their Macs can now simply login to the administrative portal and remotely launch the terminal. The admins can execute all the desired commands remotely. It was one of the most popular features last year.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"L9z8VMdMHC\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/how-to-use-macos-live-terminal-to-enhance-your-it-operations\/\">How to use macOS live terminal to enhance your IT operations<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;How to use macOS live terminal to enhance your IT operations&#8221; &#8212; Hexnode Blogs\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/how-to-use-macos-live-terminal-to-enhance-your-it-operations\/embed\/#?secret=7zwyapTuYA#?secret=L9z8VMdMHC\" data-secret=\"L9z8VMdMHC\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Per-App VPN for iOS<\/h3>\n<p>Hexnode has introduced support for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/explained\/what-is-per-app-vpn-for-ios\/?utm_source=hexnode_blog_hexnode_in_2021&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=internal_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Per-App VPN<\/a> in iOS devices. This helps you to configure VPN for the corporate apps and app groups without interfering with the personal apps.<\/p>\n<h3>Restart and wipe Apple TV<\/h3>\n<p>Remote actions like Restart and Wipe device have been added to the Hexnode roster for Apple TVs. The admins can now restart or wipe the managed Apple TVs with just one click.<\/p>\n<h3>Remotely enforce OS updates on Apple TVs<\/h3>\n<p>For supervised Apple TVs, Hexnode now lets you enforce the OS updates remotely from the admin web console. The admin can deploy the OS updates in bulk to all the Apple TVs enrolled in Hexnode with a single click.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"ueZiWY5dVv\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/a-one-stop-take-on-os-update-management-in-the-enterprise\/\">A one stop take on OS update management in the enterprise<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;A one stop take on OS update management in the enterprise&#8221; &#8212; Hexnode Blogs\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hexnode.com\/blogs\/a-one-stop-take-on-os-update-management-in-the-enterprise\/embed\/#?secret=RGbrSZpvNe#?secret=ueZiWY5dVv\" data-secret=\"ueZiWY5dVv\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Track and view application feedbacks from Managed Google Apps<\/h3>\n<p>The first step towards troubleshooting even the smallest issue is knowing what exactly went wrong. In other words, it means identifying the errors so that you can fix them. Hexnode lets you request application feedback logs from Managed Google Apps on Android devices. On sending the feedback request, Hexnode syncs the feedback from every supported application on the device. The admin can peruse these feedback logs for troubleshooting purposes from the Hexnode portal.<\/p>\n<h3>Multiple domain support for Google Workspace integration<\/h3>\n<p>Earlier, Hexnode admins could only sync a single domain from the Google Workspace console to Hexnode. Now, you can sync all the domains from your Google Workspace account to your Hexnode web portal.<\/p>\n<p>While we have discussed some of the major feature updates, there are plenty more minor updates and fixes that went through. Quite a busy year for the Hexnode team!
