The console is easy to understand and feels very intuitive. It has improved a lot since we first started using it. It’s lightweight, so it stays fast, and requests usually get a quick response.
My favorite feature is the built-in remote terminal. It’s a big help whenever I need to act on a machine directly. Support is another strong point, too—they respond quickly and jump in fast when there’s a problem.
I also appreciate the integrations. I use the REST API to pull device inventory and confirm which devices each policy targets. That information then feeds our device allow list in our Zero Trust tool automatically, so no one has to update serial numbers by hand.
The AI assistant is straightforward to use and typically responds quickly.
Pricing: We migrated from JAMF to Hexnode because the cost is lower than competitors, and they still deliver a good experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
UI: The console could look nicer overall, with better filters and clearer explanations. Also, when I search for an endpoint and then go back to the previous menu, the filter gets cleared. I’d really like an option to pin the filter so I don’t have to set it up again every time.
Performance: Policies and configurations can take a long time to apply. For example, it can take hours for Hexnode to recognize that a device has finished enabling disk encryption. The API has limitations as well; for instance, it doesn’t expose custom script results, which are only visible in the portal. We also went through a period where the devices API returned errors for many hours, until Hexnode fixed it on their side.
Troubleshooting: The logs need to be improved, especially when it comes to explaining why an app didn’t install. I spent hours on one case, and the issue turned out to be that the version of our antivirus app was out of date. I only discovered that by reading Hexnode’s log file on the endpoint through the terminal.
Documentation: The documentation could be clearer and less confusing.
Device management: Changing a user’s password is not great, because it always requires the user’s current password. macOS updates are also difficult to run through Hexnode and can end up stuck in loops.
AI: The scripts it generates usually don’t work as expected, so I end up using another AI tool instead.
Pricing: They charge for every analyst that needs access to the dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
