Mitsogo Inc.
Hexnode UEM
Unified endpoint management without the enterprise tax
For UAE teams managing a mix of company and personal devices, Hexnode UEM puts enrolment, security, app control and device retirement in one console, fast to deploy, simple to operate and genuinely cross-platform across iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, tvOS and rugged hardware. It is Artiflex IT's recommended UEM for mid-market and multi-OS environments.
Cross-platform UEM
iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, tvOS and rugged devices from one console.
G2 High Performer
Consistently rated for value, support and ease of use in the mid-market.
Cloud or on-premises
Genuine deployment choice for UAE PDPL and NESA data-residency needs.
What Hexnode UEM is
Hexnode UEM is a unified endpoint management platform: one console to enrol, configure, secure and retire every device a business runs, phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, rugged and kiosk hardware, across iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, tvOS and Fire OS. From it you push apps and content, enforce compliance and conditional access, and apply the MTD security controls that come into their own in the Ultra tier.
A product of Mitsogo Inc. (founded 2013, San Francisco), it delivers that enterprise-grade control with far less cost and complexity, deployable in days, manageable without a team of specialists, and equally at home on corporate-owned and BYOD devices.
On-premises,
a UAE differentiator
Hexnode runs as a full on-premises deployment or cloud SaaS. For government, finance and healthcare organisations with data-residency concerns under UAE PDPL and NESA, keeping device and management data in your own data centre is a genuine differentiator versus cloud-only competitors.
- UEM, MDM and MTD covered in one console
- iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, tvOS, Fire OS, rugged
- Cloud SaaS or full on-premises deployment
- Open API, clean Zimperium integration
- Zero-touch enrolment (ABM, Knox, Autopilot)
- Conditional access and policy-driven compliance
- Genie AI assistance in the Ultra tier
- NESA, UAE PDPL and ISO 27001 alignment
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.
Who should put Hexnode UEM on the shortlist
UAE mid-market and growing enterprises that want full UEM control without the cost and complexity of the heaviest suites
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

Feature availability reflects Hexnode's published edition tiers and may evolve. Artiflex confirms the exact entitlements for your licensed edition during scoping. A "✓" with a qualifier (e.g. Basic, Advanced) indicates the capability is present at that level.
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.
Deployment Options

Cloud SaaS (default)
Hexnode-hosted multi-tenant SaaS. Fastest to stand up, no infrastructure footprint, evergreen feature releases. The default for most UAE mid-market customers.
On-premises
Hexnode deployed in your own data centre. Full control of device and management data on home soil, a clear advantage for UAE PDPL, NESA, government, finance and healthcare workloads.
Co-managed
Artiflex operates the platform on your behalf, either as a fully managed service or co-managed with your IT team. You keep ownership, we keep it running 24/7 and audit-ready.
Integrations
