Misleading Tier Feature Listings Force Upgrades

No Refund for Unusable Licenses

Undelivered Sales Feature Commitments

Feature-Tier Mismatch — Forced Plan Upgrade

Aggressive Same-Day Invoice Payment Demands

medium support

Hexnode's financial department sends invoices and follows up on the same day with phone calls threatening immediate subscription cancellation if payment is not made. This creates operational risk of unexpected service interruption if payment processing is delayed for any reason.

Support Failure — Extended Unresolved Issues and Staff Downtime

critical support

Multiple customers report critical MDM issues remaining unresolved for months, with support unable to provide resolution timelines or escalation paths to engineering. When MDM management fails, devices cannot receive configuration updates, directly blocking employee productivity. The cost impact is staff downtime rather than a direct fee.

Hexnode support is unable to provide us with a plan to resolve the issue, or even an ETA as to when we'll hear back.

Premium Support Add-On Fee

high support
