What's new 
I’m setting up iPhones in Hexnode and wanted to confirm the right enrollment method. I know the basic enrollment can be done from Safari using the enrollment URL or QR code, but we need more control over the iOS devices. Would Apple Configurator be the right option for this?

Yes, absolutely @jaxon_r.
Apple Configurator is the correct tool to use if you require full supervision and advanced control over your iPhones.
While the basic Safari-based enrollment (via URL or QR code) is convenient, it only applies a standard MDM profile. It does not supervise the device. Supervision is what unlocks Hexnode’s most powerful management capabilities, such as:
- Locking devices into single-app or multi-app Kiosk Mode.
- Preventing users from removing the MDM management profile.
- Silently pushing and updating apps without user intervention.
- Enforcing strict hardware restrictions (e.g., disabling the camera, FaceTime, or the App Store).
Keep in mind that supervising a device via Apple Configurator requires a Mac and will require the iPhone to be factory reset during the preparation process.
