What is Hexnode UEM?

What Hexnode UEM replaces?

Before a UEM, securing a fleet means visiting devices individually, chasing employees to install updates, and finding out about a lost device only after it’s too late. Hexnode UEM replaces that with:

• Manual configuration → policies applied automatically the moment a device enrolls
• Physical device visits → remote lock, wipe, and troubleshooting from the console
• Spreadsheet-based inventory → live compliance and asset visibility across the whole fleet
• Reactive security → automated compliance checks that catch drift before it becomes an incident

Supported Operating Systems in Hexnode UEM

Hexnode UEM supports major desktop, mobile, rugged, and purpose-built device platforms. The supported platform versions include:

• iOS 11.0 and later; iPadOS 13.1 and later
• Android 5.0 and later
• Fire OS
• macOS 10.7 and later
• tvOS 6.0 and later
• Windows PCs running Windows 10 and later versions
• visionOS 1.1 and later
• Linux: Fedora 36 and later, Ubuntu 18.04 and later, and Debian 10 and later
• ChromeOS

Core Features of Hexnode UEM

Hexnode UEM combines enrollment, policy configuration, app distribution, content management, security enforcement, remote management, identity integration, and location-based controls in a single console. The following capabilities help administrators manage endpoints throughout their lifecycle.

Simplified Device Enrollment

Onboard devices over the air, with enrollment options ranging from no-touch to minimal-touch. No-touch methods include Apple Business and Apple School Manager enrollment, Zero-touch Enrollment (ZTE), and Samsung Knox Mobile Enrollment (KME).

In practice: A 500-device rollout that used to mean 500 individual setup sessions becomes 500 devices arriving pre-configured, straight from the box, with zero IT touch time per unit.

Security Management

Strengthen corporate data protection with Data Loss Prevention (DLP), containerization-based work profiles, threat management, and remote lock/wipe actions.

In practice: When a device is lost or an employee leaves, the exposure window closes in the time it takes to click a button — not the time it takes to track down hardware or hope the person self-reports.

Groups & Policy

Configure platform-agnostic policies once and apply them across device groups — corporate-owned or BYOD, single platform or mixed.

In practice: A security policy change that used to mean touching every device individually now applies to an entire group — 10 devices or 10,000 — in the same action.

Kiosk Lockdown

Lock down Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS and Apple TV devices into single-app or multi-app purpose-built environments. Configure web kiosks or turn Android devices into fully managed digital signage.

In practice:A general-purpose tablet becomes a dedicated point-of-sale terminal or patient check-in station — at a fraction of the cost of purpose-built hardware, with no risk of a user wandering into settings or another app.

App Management

Control the complete app lifecycle: install without user interaction, blacklist or whitelist, configure permissions, update, or remove remotely. Build app groups and app catalogs for structured distribution.

In practice: Rolling out a new required app to the whole company is one push, not hundreds of individual downloads-and-hope-they-install.

Remote Control

View and control devices remotely, transfer files, and troubleshoot without requiring the user to bring the device in or describe the problem over the phone.

In practice: What used to be a help-desk visit or a frustrating phone-talked-through fix becomes a direct remote session — resolved in minutes, without interrupting the person’s workday.

User Provisioning

Onboard users and directories, and tie device access to identity from day one.

In practice: A new hire’s device is ready and policy-compliant before their first day, instead of being configured reactively once they’ve already started.

Web Filtering

Restrict or allow web access at the device or group level.

In practice: Enforcing an acceptable-use policy no longer relies on trust or a memo — it’s enforced at the device level, consistently, across the whole org.

Tracking & Geofencing

Locate devices and set geofenced boundaries with automated actions when a device enters or exits a defined zone.

In practice: A lost device isn’t a mystery — its last known location is a click away, and a device that leaves an approved zone can trigger an alert automatically instead of going unnoticed for days.

Messenger

Communicate directly with device users from the console.

In practice: Rolling out a policy change or urgent notice reaches every device instantly, without depending on email being read or a company-wide memo being noticed.

Expense Management

Track usage and audit data consumption. Restrict Wi-Fi, mobile data, calls, texts, and tethering; set data limits per app or device.

In practice: Runaway data or roaming charges get caught and capped automatically, instead of showing up as a surprise on next month’s bill.

Dashboard

Get a live, centralized view of enrolled devices, compliance status, and enrollment sources.

In practice: What used to require a scheduled audit cycle across the fleet is now a five-second glance — compliance gaps surface before an audit finds them, not after.

Patch Management

Deploy OS and third-party app patches across the fleet from a single console.

In practice: Most patch tools stop at the operating system and leave the software actually responsible for most breaches — browsers, PDF readers, conferencing apps — unpatched. Closing that gap in one pass, instead of needing a second tool for app-layer patching, is what separates real vulnerability management from partial coverage.
