Introduction

In today's dynamic IT landscape, effective application management serves as the cornerstone of operational efficiency. From overseeing application deployment to ensuring seamless functionality, it plays a pivotal role in maintaining a robust IT infrastructure.

In this case study, we will witness how Hexnode assisted Aperion IT in securely distributing and managing work apps among a fleet of Android devices using Hexnode’s application management solution.

Background

Founded in 1984, Aperion IT has been assisting small and medium-scale businesses across the globe by offering top-quality IT solutions, including custom application development, web designing, and managed services.

Challenges Faced

The team at Aperion IT had to distribute a custom application to a set of Android devices owned by one of their clients. Previously, the team used a different MDM solution to handle this process, but the results soon fell short of satisfaction. The team encountered a few challenges in managing their applications effectively. The former MDM struggled to keep the apps updated simultaneously on all devices and wasn't cost-effective for the type of features it offered, said John Zupancic, Senior System Engineer at Aperion IT.

Consideration of MDM solutions

“...Hexnode provided the level of management we needed at a good price point...”

Aperion IT came across Hexnode on the internet while searching for an effective Android management solution. Despite considering several other MDMs, it was Hexnode's cost-effectiveness and extensive Android management features that prompted him to switch to Hexnode.

Adoption of Hexnode

The team utilized Hexnode to provision all their new and existing Android devices. The zero-touch enrollment process enabled John to enroll all the devices with the required apps and settings in bulk to the Hexnode portal – right out of the box!

Hexnode's intuitive app management feature allowed the team to manage and configure the custom application on all the managed devices. Hexnode's integration with Android Enterprise made the process even simpler. John could silently install, uninstall, and even clear application data remotely. Additionally, Hexnode allowed the team to push regular updates to the devices, ensuring the applications stay up to date.

Hexnode also offered a multitude of other device management features. The exceptional kiosk mode was one of them. John had the option to lock down all his devices with the required apps of his choice, disabling other device functions. This ensured that the devices were only used for work-related purposes. Hexnode's remote view and control was yet another prominent feature. This feature allowed IT admins to remotely view and rectify device issues without any physical access, reducing unnecessary travel expenditure previously utilized for traveling back and forth to physically address customer device issues.

John was immensely satisfied with the features offered by Hexnode. The centralized app management console and remote functionalities were able to fulfil all their requirements in the best possible way without interrupting their workflow.

Conclusion

Overall, the implementation of Hexnode has been nothing short of amazing. By leveraging Hexnode's comprehensive features, Aperion IT successfully addressed their challenges and streamlined their app distribution process. John states that Hexnode has greatly surpassed all their expectations, and he is more than willing to recommend it to anyone who's looking for an all-around solution to manage their corporate endpoints.
