Verdict
// Hexnode has the broadest OS coverage in this comparison — Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Android, tvOS — from a single console.
Hexnode covers Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Android, and a handful of niche endpoints (kiosks, rugged devices) from a single console. For organizations with a genuinely mixed fleet that don’t want two MDMs, Hexnode is a sensible pick, and the pricing page is refreshingly readable.
Hexnode’s strengths are breadth and transparency: it’s one of the only vendors in this list that publishes per-device pricing without a sales conversation, and the kiosk / rugged-device modes make it a strong choice for retail, logistics, and field-service deployments.
The trade-off is Apple depth. Hexnode supports the core MDM surface across Apple platforms but trails Apple-only specialists on newer capabilities like declarative management and visionOS. For organizations whose Apple fleet is the priority, Apple-first vendors go deeper.
