Any messages sent via the Hexnode MDM console can be viewed on the app anytime (message history is viewable even in the absence of a steady network connection). You can also access any app catalogs your IT team has set up for you, right within the app. With Hexnode MDM, your IT team can remotely configure settings on the devices in your enterprise, enforce security policies, manage mobile applications, track device’s location and remotely lock or wipe devices.
