Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Hexnode for Kiosk Lockdown of Android Devices. There are several android smartphones in our company. After a few trials, we decided on Hexnode MDM since we wanted to lock these devices down. We use the android kiosk rules such as digital signage and website kiosk mode to prevent access to illegal and unwanted websites. Also, use lock task mode to restrict the navigation options. The option to silently install enterprise applications to the devices is a huge win as well, making it much easier with app management with deletion, updating of webapps, enterprise apps, and store apps.

Pros and Cons

Android zero-touch enrollment allows bulk enrollment of corporate-owned android devices with a single click.
With the help of the dynamic device grouping function, devices may be grouped in accordance with specific pre-configured criteria.
The kiosk mode supports both single-app kiosk mode, in which the device is restricted to using a single app, and multi-app kiosk mode, in which the device is in kiosk mode but has access to a number of other programs and files.

The bulk enrolment process is time-consuming and resource-intensive for the server.
The policies take a while to be successful when pushed together in bulk. Especially when a set of policies are pushed to a dynamic group, it takes a lot longer than for other static groups.
Smartwatches and other wearables cannot be enrolled in or managed.

Several UEMs enable kiosks, and Hexnode's customizing options are unmatched. For instance, we may entirely redesign the smartphone, starting with the lock screen and home screen backgrounds, to include your brand and company logo. The customer support they provide are also a huge win.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.
