Hexnode UEM vs. IBM Security MaaS360

Hexnode was best suited for us to manage android devices and more specifically for Kiosk Lockdown and restrictions. Hexnode being a UEM offers support for platforms as well. It certainly does open doors for us to increase and take up more devices under the management of Hexnode. As said earlier, Hexnode does not support wearables as of now; would be great if they could start supporting them soon.

This product has helped me find lost mobile devices and has helped protect our corporate intellectual property as well as making it easier to support our 700 users in our Canada manufacturing facilities. We are better able to manage our fleet of devices and manage the apps that are being used on these devices as well as which apps are being used. We can easily wipe out a device if someone resigns and to better protect information. It makes it easier to deploy a completely configured mobile device to remote users and supports Apple, Android or BYOD. Once configured correctly this product integrates seamlessly with Apple to better manage off the shelf apps or custom applications. This product has made my life working with managing two different corporate entities and their divisions all across Canada with relative ease and leaves me more time to work on other issues. And reports are simple and customizable making it simple to see and understand and utilize the information to make better informed decisions.

• Setting mandatory applications and the silent installation of enterprise apps.
• Hexnode integrates with the Apple Device Enrollment Program and Apple Volume Purchase Program, enabling bulk software purchases and device enrollment.
• Blocklisted applications would be uninstalled from the device and would not be available for download again.

• BYOD encourages use of personal devices like smartphones, tablets, laptops and wearables to access enterprise data from anywhere.
• UEM provides best outstanding user experience and data security.
• Makes mobile device management easy and more centralized.
• Provides more Security Revolution to all our devices to protect all the sophisticated cybercrimes.

• We utilize a small number of Windows devices in addition to Android ones, however, Hexnode UEM has very few Windows-specific restrictions compared to those for other platforms.
• When we turned on the remote control, the Hexnode for Work app would periodically crash.
• We had to get in touch with their tech support to resolve the issue because the Multi app kiosk mode for Windows devices was not correctly pushed.

• MaaS360 with Watson has a lot of features and capabilities, which can sometimes make it difficult for us to navigate. Improving the user interface and making it friendly could help make the platform easier to use.
• Expanding integrations with other systems to provide better support for a wider range of systems and platforms.

It works exactly as needed, no need to find another solution.

Rock solid solution with highly accessible support when needed. We do not want to interact with MaaS360 on a daily basis but when an issue occurs we are always able to find resolution due to the various support resources we have access to

Incredibly easy to use and setup.

Having years of experience with MDM and experiencing the evolution of the granularity of the functionality MDM's have had to evolve, no MDM is ever "easy" to use. MaaS360 rises to the top however, because zero day changes are always ahead of the competition. A huge benefit with MaaS360 and IBM's approach to supporting these changes is that they seldom change configuration work flows. Competing Vendors always arbitrarily change workflows which requires a significnat ongoing learning curve in order to maintain technical competence

Never had an outage in 11 years of using this solution

typically very consistent but occasionaly some lag

Online chat support is the best I have received from my vendors.

MaaS360's phone support has been decent the few times I have used it. In addition the person who on-boarded us has been available for additional questions after the process was over. However IBM could do a much better job in creating a user-friendly search engine and white-paper database to help people find topics. Right now finding info is more based on searching through white papers themselves.

The resources made available to me by IBM were Stellar. These resources remain available today and are extremely important as technology changes

Follow the steps, and it will install very easy.

To implement IBM Security MaaS360 with Watson, follow these steps: Set up the platform, enroll devices, configure policies and settings, monitor and manage devices. Implementing it can help organizations to securely manage and monitor the use of mobile devices and related resources in their networks, improving security and productivity for their users.

We were in the market for a solution that would reduce the workload on our client and the initial choice was Scalefusion; however, on getting a free trial, the UI wasn't that easy to use, and Scalefusion seemed like a smaller company which is new to endpoint management. Whereas Hexnode UEM seemed a little more established and the UI was light years ahead.

I really love how this software is full-featured comes with all kind of robust features allows us to lock down all aspects of our devices incase the device is lost of stolen. It also allows us to install apps remotely ability to track location set-up mobile data groups is awesome and allows diagnostic messaging when data limit is reached.

• As an ISO certified company, we needed a robust solution to secure our devices and Hexnode's reputation was a no-brainer for us.

• We were able to reduce our monthly bill for iPad data usage by well over 60%. Simply by limiting the applications available to what was absolutely necessary to do their jobs.
• We have never had an iPad lost that couldn’t be recovered.
• We were able to reassign iPads when we discovered techs were not using them. Some techs preferred to use their company phones.
