Hexnode Kiosk Browser vs Honeywell Enterprise Browser

Hexnode Kiosk Browser lets organizations limit browsing to approved websites and web apps on devices locked in kiosk mode. Administrators can allowlist or blacklist URLs, and sites outside a configured allowlist are blocked. Web apps and URL rules can be configured remotely through Hexnode UEM. On Android, the browser offers single-tab and multi-tab modes; single-tab mode hides the address bar and prevents switching between tabs. Administrators can configure full-screen display, toolbar and appearance, scheduled web app refresh, JavaScript, media, browsing history, location services, and forms, or disable hardware and software keys. Hexnode also provides a native kiosk browser for supervised iPhones and iPads, plus website kiosk support for specified Windows editions. Android Kiosk Browser APKs support Android 8 and above, while the documented tab features support Android 5.0 and above; Android TV OS is unsupported. Plans start at $2.20 a month, billed starting with 15 devices, and a 14-day trial is available.

Honeywell Enterprise Browser is paid software for running standard web applications and browsing web content in a controlled business environment. It supports Android and Windows, with pricing available on request and a free trial. Each connection runs in its own sandboxed process, while URL whitelisting controls which sites devices can reach. Multiple rendering engines support new and existing applications without recoding. JavaScript interfaces connect browser use with barcode reading and receipt or label printing. Administrators can update settings remotely, and those settings remain after a Honeywell handheld is reset. The browser can work with Honeywell Launcher for single-purpose device configurations. Honeywell’s Windows guide describes a 60-day free trial; a runtime license is required for features beyond it. Windows downloads require a Honeywell portal account and login, and the CAB file needs about 11 MB of space. An annual maintenance plan provides later releases and support beyond warranty.
