Alternative To Hexnode -

1,000+ devices, heavy Windows shop, already using Microsoft 365 E3/E5.

Apple-dominant fleets (design, dev, education, creative agencies). alternative to hexnode

Kandji starts ~$3.50/device/month (volume discounts). Addigy similar. Category 3: The Open-Source Contender (If budget is the #1 driver) Fleet (formerly Kolide) or MicroMDM Important nuance: True open-source MDM is rare. Fleet is an open-core osquery-based manager. MicroMDM is a lightweight Apple MDM. 1,000+ devices, heavy Windows shop, already using Microsoft

Starts ~$2.25/device/month (billed annually), cheaper than Hexnode at scale. Category 5: Specialty Security-First (If compliance is your real pain point) Mosyle Business Context: Mosyle is best known for K-12 education (where it’s free), but Mosyle Business is a formidable, low-cost Hexnode alternative for SMBs. Addigy similar

Included in M365 E3 (~$36/user/month) or standalone at ~$2.40/user/month (with limits). Category 2: The Apple-First Master (If your fleet is 80%+ macOS/iOS) Kandji or Addigy (not Jamf Pro – too complex) Why not Jamf Pro? Jamf is the gold standard for Apple, but it’s overkill and operationally heavy for most Hexnode refugees. Kandji and Addigy are the modern, lighter-weight alternatives.
