Get Started with Hexnode UEM
Hexnode UEM is a cloud-based Unified Endpoint Management solution that drives the business productivity and compliance of the organizations. Hexnode offers a unified digital workspace for enterprise-wide mobility management, coupled with robust content and application management features. An MDM software facilitates centralized control over the management and security configurations of all devices used inside an organization.
To manage, secure, and monitor a device using Hexnode, it must first be enrolled in the MDM solution. Hexnode supports the enrollment of both personal and corporate devices. Containerization in Hexnode ensures personal data security by establishing separate, encrypted containers on devices, separating work apps and data from personal app and data.
Get started with Hexnode’s cloud deployment model by signing up for the 30-day free trial. The user should abide by the terms of the Hexnode UEM Agreement either on their own behalf or, if applicable, on behalf of a legal entity. Once successfully signed up for the portal, a login will be created for the organization. The technicians can access the Hexnode UEM solution using this login. Before enrolling the device in Hexnode UEM solution, you should set up the email, SMS server, directory integration, APNs, and Android Enterprise, if required.

APNs
Apple Push Notification services are required for an Apple device to communicate with the Hexnode MDM server. APNs have to be configured before enrolling an Apple device in Hexnode.
Android Enterprise Integration
To enroll an Android device in the Android Enterprise (AE) program, formerly known as Android for Work, you have to first enroll your organization in AE. Android Enterprise is a device management framework to manage and secure Android (5.0+) devices in the work environment.

Personal devices can be set up as ‘Profile Owner’ that allows work apps and data to be stored in a separate encrypted container within the device. The ‘Device Owner’ mode allows enterprises to exercise complete control over their corporate devices and data.
