Understanding the Samsung Knox Products
Samsung offers different Knox products, each designed to help businesses with mobile security and device management in slightly different ways. Here's a simple look at what each one does:
Knox Suite Essential Plan
This plan is mainly about managing your Samsung phones and tablets. Think of it as your basic control centre. It helps your IT team look after all your company's Samsung devices from one place. You can install apps, set up security rules, and keep an eye on your devices remotely. It's a good starting point for businesses that need straightforward mobile device management. Each license covers one device, up to 499 devices.

It's an all-in-one solution for businesses that need complete, deep control over their Samsung devices, from the moment they're unboxed to how they're used every day. It simplifies complex IT tasks by bringing all the key Knox tools together. Each license covers one device, up to 499 devices.

Knox E-FOTA (Enterprise Firmware-Over-The-Air)
Sometimes, new phone updates can cause problems with important work apps. With E-FOTA, your IT team can choose exactly when and which version of the software gets installed on all your company's devices. This stops unexpected updates, keeps all devices running smoothly, and makes sure your work apps always function correctly. It's especially useful for businesses with lots of devices that need to stay stable. Each license covers one device, up to 499 devices.

Knox Configure
Knox Configure Setup: This is for a one-time setup. You can set up new devices to have specific apps, home screen layouts, and even custom startup screens with your company's branding as soon as they're turned on. It's perfect for getting new devices ready for staff quickly and consistently, making them feel like a proper company device from day one.

Knox Configure Dynamic: This offers more ongoing control and customization. It lets your IT team change settings, push out new apps, or update content on devices even after they've been set up. You can also control which apps staff can use (or not use) on their work devices. This is great for devices that need to be updated regularly or used for specific tasks, like a tablet in a shop, allowing for flexible changes to how devices work.

The right Knox product for your business depends on how much control and security you need for your Samsung devices.
