Headwind MDM
What it is
Headwind MDM is software for centrally managing enterprise Android tablets, smartphones, kiosks, and digital signage devices. Administrators can apply group-based policies, monitor device status, and enroll devices in several ways, including QR code, APK installation, NFC, ADB, and Knox Mobile Enrollment. Management options include kiosk mode, remote lock and reset, remote control, location viewing, and photo reporting. The software can run on premises without cloud services or an internet connection, with Ubuntu and Docker installation options for Linux. Its security measures include HTTPS, optional HSTS, TOTP two-factor authentication, and isolation of critical services. The privileged MDM API has REST method documentation. Enterprise edition supports Samsung Knox features, and includes installation, deployment, and premium technical support. Full MDM functionality is available on Android 9 and above; the maker does not recommend Xiaomi devices running MIUI 10 or 11. A free plan and trial are available.
