I’m trying to understand Hexnode’s single-tenant architecture. How is this different from the usual multi-tenant SaaS UEM platforms, and why does it matter?
Why use Single-tenant architecture?Solved

Hey @ace_98 , in Hexnode, single tenancy means every customer gets a dedicated application environment and database instead of sharing infrastructure with other organizations. This gives full data isolation by design. From a security standpoint, any issue is limited to a single tenant, and there’s no cross-tenant data exposure. It also avoids shared-resource contention, so performance stays predictable for things like policy deployment, remote actions, and compliance checks.
Yep, it also helps with compliance and control. Having isolated data paths and tenant-specific encryption makes audits clearer for regulations like GDPR and SOC 2. Updates don’t always have to be forced globally either. Even for MSPs, the multi-tenant console is only a management layer; each end customer still runs in its own single-tenant environment.
That’s why this matters for enterprises. Single tenancy isn’t just a feature, it’s a foundational design choice that improves security confidence, performance consistency, and customer-level control.
That clarifies it. Sounds like it is an important architectural necessity in deployment.
