Hexnode
The India-engineered UEM that manages six device platforms from one console — Gartner-acknowledged, kiosk-obsessed, and trusted from SMBs to Fortune 500s in 100+ countries. This hub is your complete intel file.
The company, at a glance
Quick answer
Hexnode, the enterprise software division of Mitsogo Inc. (founded 2013 by Apu Pavithran; HQ San Francisco with major engineering in India), builds Hexnode UEM — a unified endpoint management platform for Android, iOS/iPadOS, macOS, Windows, Apple TV and Fire OS devices. It serves organisations from SMBs to Fortune 500s across 100+ countries, earned a mention in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for UEM and a Forrester Now Tech listing as a Mobility Specialist, and is best known for kiosk-management depth and famously responsive support.
One platform. Every capability inside it.
Hexnode now ships three products on one fabric — UEM (2013), XDR (Sept 2025) and IdP (March 2026). Each linked card is a full intel page; the fourth is the signature capability inside UEM.
Hexnode UEM
Every device your business touches, managed.
Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Apple TV and Fire OS under one policy engine — enrollment to retirement, with the kiosk depth Hexnode is famous for.
Hexnode XDR
Threats scored, contained, closed.
Real-time threat detection with severity scoring and visual analytics — and response that executes through the UEM agent: isolate, restrict, re-policy, wipe.
Hexnode IdP
Access gated by the Device Trust Engine.
SSO, MFA and compliance-based access where unenrolled or non-compliant devices are blocked — verified continuously, revoked the instant risk changes.
Kiosk Lockdown
Devices that do one job, perfectly.
Single-app and multi-app kiosk modes, secure browsers, digital signage and Android TV management — the frontline-device toolkit inside Hexnode UEM.
BYOD Programmes
Solution areaWork profiles and privacy-respecting containers — company data managed, personal life untouched. A solution area of Hexnode UEM.
Genie AI & Integrations
Solution areaAgentic AI that chats, fixes and scripts across the platform — plus Entra, Okta, Google Workspace, ServiceNow and Zendesk hooks into the stack you already run.
Why “one fabric, three products” is the whole story
Most device-management vendors sell you SKUs — one for mobiles, one for desktops, one for kiosks. Hexnode built one device fabric that treats every device class as a first-class citizen — from iPhones to Fire tablets to the signage in your lobby.
One Console
Six device platforms — from iPhones to Fire tablets to Apple TVs — administered through one clean console a lean team can actually run.
Policy Engine
Profiles, restrictions and compliance rules assigned by group and inherited by hierarchy — write policy once, enforce it everywhere.
Kiosk Engine
The deepest part of the product: single-app, multi-app, browser and signage lockdowns that turn devices into appliances.
App & Content Layer
VPP, Managed Google Play, enterprise apps and file distribution — provisioning the work, not just the device.
Integration Fabric
Entra, Okta, ServiceNow, Zendesk and APIs — device management wired into identity and service workflows.
Pick the tier that matches your use cases — every capability lives in the same console.

Where Hexnode sits — the grids
Two company-level views you won’t find on any vendor site — tap any dot for the rationale. The category-level grid lives on the product page.
Hexnode Across Its Capabilities
Each dot is a Hexnode capability area: competitive strength vs category momentum.
The anchor: six-platform device management with a console lean teams run happily. Analyst-acknowledged, peer-loved.
The UEM Depth × Runnability Map
Feature depth vs whether a lean team can run it — the axis war of UEM.
The mid-market sweet spot: more depth than the SMB-simple tools, far less pain than Intune — with kiosk mastery as the wedge. India-engineered, globally proven.

Buy it like you’ve done this before
The procurement playbook TechBag runs with IT buyers — steps, licensing cheat-sheet, and the pitfalls that cost quarters.
Census the estate
Devices by platform and ownership model (corporate, BYOD, kiosk) — Hexnode prices per device by feature tier, so the census IS the quote. TechBag runs it free.
Shortlist with the grids
Use the market maps and the comparison matrix on the UEM page. Hexnode vs Scalefusion vs Miradore covers most mixed-fleet scenarios; add Intune if you're M365-heavy.
Trial your hardest devices
14-day trial — enroll the kiosk that wedges, the exec's iPhone, the shared tablet. The weird devices decide the winner, not the easy ones.
Pick the tier deliberately
Hexnode's per-device tiers gate features (kiosk, advanced BYOD). Map YOUR use cases to the tier before comparing prices — TechBag builds this map with you.
Deploy in waves
Corporate zero-touch first (ABM/AE/KME), then BYOD invitations, then kiosk conversions — each wave proves value before the next begins.
Manage the lifecycle
Renewals, tier right-sizing and device-count true-ups — TechBag stays your single throat to choke, with GST invoicing throughout.
The licensing cheat-sheet
| Product | Licensing model | How you enter | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hexnode UEM (tiers) | Per device / month, feature-tiered | From roughly a dollar a device; annual billing discounts | Mixed fleets choosing capability by tier |
| Kiosk-heavy estates | Kiosk features in mid/upper tiers | Match the tier to lockdown depth needed | Retail, logistics, signage fleets |
| Hexnode XDR | Per device, attaches to UEM | A fraction of standalone XDR quotes | Lean teams adding detection & response |
| Hexnode IdP | Fabric-native identity layer | Retires premium third-party IdP licences | Device-gated zero-trust programmes |
Tier-based pricing — TechBag maps your use cases to the right tier and negotiates the per-device rate.
Five pitfalls that cost buyers quarters
Buying a tier below your use cases
Kiosk depth and advanced BYOD live in higher tiers. Map features to tiers BEFORE comparing prices, or the cheap quote becomes an upgrade negotiation.
Testing only the easy devices
Any UEM manages a fresh iPhone. Trial the rugged scanner, the Fire tablet, the five-year-old Android — the weird fleet decides your real experience.
Ignoring the identity wiring
Device management without Entra/Okta integration means duplicate user admin forever. Wire identity in week one, not month six.
Treating BYOD as a policy PDF
A BYOD programme is enrollment UX plus privacy communication. If staff don't trust the container boundary, they won't enroll — and shadow IT wins.
Skipping the kiosk recovery drill
Kiosks fail in the field. Test remote recovery of a wedged kiosk BEFORE deploying five hundred of them across three states.

Six trends with momentum scores (TechBag’s read of analyst and market signals) — and what each means for your next decision.
Category momentum — estimated market growth
Illustrative CAGR synthesis**Directionally consistent with public analyst forecasts; verify exact figures before quoting. The takeaway: frontline and kiosk fleets are compounding fastest — exactly where Hexnode is deepest.
Frontline devices explode
POS tablets, delivery scanners, signage and shared devices keep multiplying — the fastest-growing slice of managed fleets.
What it means for you
Kiosk depth is now a primary UEM criterion, not a checkbox. Test it hands-on.
UEM consolidation
Separate MDM + desktop management stacks keep collapsing into single UEM consoles across the mid-market.
What it means for you
Every renewal is a consolidation opportunity — count the consoles you could delete.
Apple keeps invading the enterprise
Mac and iPhone share of business fleets grows yearly; mixed-fleet UEMs win when Apple depth doesn't require Apple-only tools.
What it means for you
Ask every UEM to demo ABM zero-touch — it separates real Apple support from checkbox claims.
BYOD normalises — with boundaries
Work profiles and user enrollment made privacy-respecting BYOD mainstream; blanket device control is dying.
What it means for you
The winning programmes are opt-in and transparent. Buy tooling that makes the boundary visible.
India engineers the world's SaaS
Hexnode (Kochi/Chennai), Scalefusion (Pune) and 42Gears (Bengaluru) prove India builds globally competitive device management.
What it means for you
India-engineered means India-priced support and roadmaps that understand your market.
Compliance reaches devices
DPDP, industry regulators and cyber-insurers increasingly ask where data lives and which devices touch it.
What it means for you
Unmanaged devices holding personal data are now legal exposure — enrollment is compliance.
