Hexnode, an award-winning Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solution by Mitsogo Inc., is introducing a major upgrade to Hexnode Automate, its built-in automation module, expanding Hexnode’s Endpoint Management capabilities to introduce more powerful and customizable automation that enable IT teams to create tailored workflows for managing everyday device tasks across the entire fleet.
According to the company, Automate helps reduce repetitive work by simplifying how routine actions are planned, triggered, and monitored from a centralized, user-friendly interface. The module also supports scheduled patch deployments, helping IT teams ensure timely updates across their device fleet while retaining control with manual patching options when necessary.
“Much of what we’ve developed in Automate is a direct reflection of the needs voiced by our customers, particularly IT seeking control over time-based actions and compliance-oriented workflows,” said Sahad M, chief technology officer at Hexnode. “Our goal is to help teams offload the routine, so they can focus on what truly drives value.”
Hexnode Automate offers a streamlined approach by letting IT schedule and deploy updates in alignment with their operational needs, the company said.
Key patch management features in Hexnode Automate include:
- Flexible deployment options: Hexnode Automate offers both manual and automatic patch rollouts. IT teams can schedule updates during designated maintenance windows, ensuring timely updates that preserves system integrity while easing day-to-day workload.
- Granular targeting: Admins can target patch deployments based on specific attributes like device type, user role, network, or compliance status, or based on the patch criticality, ensuring updates reach only the intended endpoints.
- Centralized patch visibility and reporting: Monitor patch status through a unified dashboard showing missing updates, reboot requirements, and vulnerability insights. Generate detailed reports and receive failure alerts when scheduled patch actions don’t go as planned.
- Failsafe deployment options: Organizations can choose between forced, deferred, or manual patch rollouts, without missing critical updates. In the event of unexpected issues, rollback support enables swift reversion to a stable state, minimizing potential disruptions.
Hexnode’s Automate allows IT admins to schedule and execute routine tasks across platforms, ensuring devices remain compliant, secure, and optimized, without constant manual oversight. It offers rule-based triggers and preset workflow triggers.
With the introduction of Automate, Hexnode brings powerful task automation to all major platforms, including Windows, Android, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and tvOS.
This cross-platform automation capability enables IT teams to streamline device management at scale—automating routine actions, reducing response times, and ensuring devices stay compliant and secure, the company said.
