Hexnode UEM
Unified endpoint management without the enterprise tax
Hexnode is the agile, value-led UEM that enrols, configures, secures and retires every device in your fleet from one console: fast to deploy, simple to operate, genuinely cross-platform across iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, tvOS and rugged hardware. Artiflex IT's recommended UEM for UAE mid-market and multi-OS environments.

What Hexnode UEM is
A product of Mitsogo Inc. (founded 2013, headquartered in San Francisco), Hexnode grew from a focused MDM into a full unified endpoint management platform. It was built on a simple conviction: most enterprise management suites were powerful but expensive, slow to deploy and complicated to run. Hexnode set out to deliver the same control with far less friction.
For Artiflex's UAE customers (retail chains, logistics fleets, clinics, schools and growing enterprises), that translates into a platform you can stand up in days rather than months, operate without a team of specialists, and extend across every device type your business actually uses. It manages corporate-owned and BYOD devices alike.
Hexnode covers all three core capability categories: MDM (device-level enrolment, configuration and control), the broader UEM discipline (apps, content, identity, compliance and lifecycle across every endpoint type), and MTD, mobile threat defense and security controls that come into their own in the security-focused Ultra tier (web content filtering, Windows Defender configuration, BitLocker, Okta Device Trust and patch management). Where an organisation needs dedicated, best-of-breed on-device threat detection, Hexnode's open API integrates cleanly with Zimperium.
On-premises,
a UAE differentiator
Hexnode is available as a full on-premises deployment as well as cloud SaaS. For government, finance, healthcare and other sensitive organisations with data-residency or cloud-hosting concerns under UAE PDPL and NESA, running Hexnode in your own data centre keeps device and management data on home soil. A genuine differentiator versus cloud-only competitors.

Why it wins
What makes Hexnode our recommended UEM
The advantages that produce the best management outcome per dirham for the UAE mid-market, with a roadmap that scales from kiosks to zero-trust.
Days
Pilot to production timeline for typical UAE deployments
6 OSes
iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, tvOS, Fire OS plus rugged
SaaS + On-prem
Genuine deployment choice for PDPL and NESA data-residency needs
Best value per device
The strongest total cost of ownership in the mid-market: full UEM capability without premium enterprise licensing. Pricing scales by edition so you pay for the tier you actually need.
Fast to deploy
Cloud-based and intuitive. Pilot to production in days, with prebuilt enrolment workflows for Apple Business Manager, Android Zero-Touch and Windows Autopilot.
Truly cross-platform
iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, tvOS, Fire OS and rugged devices in one console. No ecosystem lock-in and no fragmented toolchain across device types.
Kiosk and rugged strength
Best-in-class single-app and multi-app kiosk with a branded launcher, plus rugged-device support for retail, logistics, warehousing and field operations.
BYOD without overreach
Container and profile separation keeps corporate data governed while respecting personal privacy, an essential balance for UAE workplaces under PDPL.
Open and integrable
A clean API that plugs into your identity provider (Entra ID, Okta) and into Zimperium for a complete UEM + MTD programme, plus SCCM integration in the Ultra tier.
Hover any card to read the rationale. These are the strengths Artiflex sees most often in UAE deployments, not the brochure list.

Mixed-OS estates blending Apple, Android, Windows and macOS that want one console instead of three
Retail chains, logistics fleets and field operations running kiosk and rugged-device deployments (point of sale, scanners, handhelds)
Education and healthcare environments with shared devices and compliance-sensitive workflows
iOS and Windows estates that need to be governed together from a single console (Enterprise edition and above)
Government, finance and healthcare organisations needing on-premises deployment to satisfy UAE PDPL and NESA data-residency obligations
BYOD-heavy programmes that need to protect corporate data without intruding on personal device use
Teams already running Zimperium (or planning to) who want a clean UEM + MTD pairing through Hexnode's open API

Choosing an edition
Simplified positioning, which edition fits
Each edition is built for a distinct stage of endpoint maturity. Here is how to read them, and the buyer each was designed for.
The strategic view
The important difference between editions
The editions are not just "more features". Each major jump changes what the platform fundamentally is. Knowing where these inflection points sit prevents over- or under-buying.
Artiflex maps your maturity, device mix and compliance obligations to the right edition during the assessment, so you pay for the platform you need today with a clear path to the next tier as you grow.
