Overall Satisfaction with Hexnode UEM

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Since Covid, the majority of our staff have used personal mobile devices for work. We wanted to be able to create work profiles as different containers on your own devices since separating the work file from the personal file was a laborious process. It enabled the storage of work-related applications and information in a distinct, secure container. We also need total control over these job profiles, therefore after evaluating several alternatives, we settled on Hexnode UEM. Because of Hexnode UEM's enterprise and general functionality for managing androids, we decided on it. The ability to establish work profiles with distinct badges for business-related applications and files was provided by Android enterprise devices.

Pros and Cons

Pros

We could secretly install applications and push rules, which solely affected the device's work profile.
Users will be able to enrol their devices using Okta or Gsuite authentication if Hexnode UEM is integrated with those directories.
Even online apps and business or in-house apps that are not available in any app stores were able to be secretly installed and pushed using Hexnode UEM's app management tools.

Cons

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

The IT department had a nightmare when our firm embraced BYOD. Maintaining the security of company data got difficult due to the explosion in device numbers. So, for our team, adding a UEM to our business network was the finest choice of 2020. But was not great for IoT wearable devices.
