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
Hexnode UEM supports over-the-air device onboarding through no-touch, low-touch, and user-assisted enrollment workflows. Common no-touch enrollment methods include Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager enrollment, Android Zero-touch Enrollment (ZTE), Samsung Knox Mobile Enrollment (KME), Android ROM/OEM enrollment, and Windows PPKG enrollment.
Administrators can also enroll devices using QR code enrollment, Email/SMS enrollment, and other supported enrollment methods. Enrollment settings can be configured before devices are assigned to users, helping organizations prepare endpoints for use immediately after activation.
Enterprise Integrations
Hexnode UEM integrates with device deployment services, identity providers, directory services, OEM management frameworks, and enterprise support tools. Supported integrations referenced in this overview include Apple Business Manager, Apple School Manager, Android Enterprise, Samsung Knox, LG Gate, Kyocera, Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Okta, Zebra, Honeywell, Datalogic, Spectralink, and Zendesk.
Kiosk Lockdown
Hexnode UEM includes a kiosk solution for locking down Android, iOS, Windows, and Apple TV devices for purpose-specific use cases. Administrators can configure single-app kiosk mode, multi-app kiosk mode, and web kiosk mode with advanced website settings. Android devices can also be configured as managed digital signage kiosks.
App Management
Hexnode UEM enables organizations to distribute store apps and enterprise apps to managed devices. Administrators can control app lifecycle operations such as installation, update, configuration, permission management, blocklisting, allowlisting, and removal. Hexnode also supports app groups, app catalogs, and custom store layouts for structured app deployment.
Content Management
Hexnode UEM provides content management capabilities for distributing, sharing, and securing corporate files on managed devices. Administrators can provide controlled access to corporate apps and data, and can separate corporate content from personal data by enabling a virtual container on supported devices.
Security Management
Hexnode UEM helps administrators enforce security controls across apps, networks, and devices. Security policies can include password requirements, device encryption, web content filtering, and device compliance checks. Organizations can also strengthen corporate data protection using Data Loss Prevention (DLP), containerization-based work profiles, threat management, and supported remote actions.
Expense Management
Hexnode UEM includes expense management capabilities for tracking expenses and auditing data usage. Administrators can reduce non-work-related usage by restricting Wi-Fi or mobile data, call and text functionality, tethering, and other device activities. Data limits can also be configured for apps and devices to monitor, track, and control usage.
Remote Management
Hexnode UEM allows administrators to execute remote actions on managed devices. Supported actions include remotely locking a device, wiping a device, ringing a device, powering off a device, and restarting a device. Administrators can also assist users through the built-in messenger, file management policy, and remote view or remote control features where supported.
Identity and Access Management
Hexnode UEM helps ensure that corporate resources are accessed by authorized users. Administrators can use directory services to manage user-based access to organizational resources and enable two-factor authentication to strengthen user access security.
Location Tracking and Geofencing
Hexnode UEM includes location tracking capabilities to fetch device locations. Administrators can configure periodic location scans or fetch the current location of a managed device using remote commands. Lost or misplaced devices can be tracked using Hexnode’s default map or Google Maps.
With Geofencing, administrators can create fences that define policy zones and policy exclusion zones. When devices enter or exit a fenced region, the configured restrictions or policies are automatically applied or removed based on the defined geofence behavior.
