Hexnode UEM FAQ
Standalone yes - Hexnode Essential at $1.08/device/month vs. Intune standalone at $8/user/month. But if you're already on Microsoft 365 E3/E5, Intune is effectively free, which usually wins the comparison.
Hexnode covers similar cross-platform breadth but with less depth and polish. For SMB and mid-market, the price difference makes Hexnode attractive; for enterprises with complex requirements, Workspace ONE's depth is hard to match.
Yes but it's not the best fit. Apple-only deployments typically benefit more from Kandji or Mosyle's Apple-native focus. Hexnode shines when you have mixed-platform fleets.
Hexnode has US offices (San Francisco) and significant operations in Kochi, India. Sales and support are global.
Essential covers core UEM (enrollment, policies, basic zero-touch). Pro adds advanced features like self-service portal, BYOD container, and more advanced policy controls. Most companies need Pro.
Bottom line
Our verdict on Hexnode UEM
The cross-platform UEM value pick
Hexnode has built a real position as the value-tier cross-platform UEM. For mixed-fleet SMBs and mid-market companies that can't justify Workspace ONE or don't want to lock into Microsoft 365 for Intune, Hexnode delivers genuine cross-platform UEM at a significantly lower price.
