Samsung is making some changes, for the better, to its enterprise mobile security solution. KNOX is getting two knew offerings called KNOX Express and KNOX Premium.
At no cost at all, KNOX Express has basic features that are useful to IT managers. Devices can be managed through an online portal and it includes KNOX Workspace and KNOX EMM. The two latter features are not very deep with add-ons, though. KNOX Marketplace is here, too, for IT managers to push cloud apps.
KNOX Premium expands upon its free partner with a $1 per license price. The cost, along with enhanced multi-layered security, brings enhanced features to the table. KNOX Premium does allow add-ons for KNOX Workspace. The premium tier of KNOX also supplies online/phone ticket support.
KNOX Premium is better suited for a larger company while KNOX Express would work very well with a small business.

How about NO KNOX? It’s a battery draining pestilence that most of us don’t need but can’t remove without voiding the warranty. As an owner of a Note 3, I will never buy a phone with KNOX again.
As an owner of a Note 3, I would never want to have a phone without Knox. It doesn’t drain the battery any way I can see, and it gives me a secure private area for financial information and such – I can’t see anything not to love!
You can’t remove it, but you don’t have to use it.
That’s interesting, I’ve never heard anyone actually speaking fondly of KNOX, but it’s great that you find good use for KNOX. However, for those of us that don’t need it, there should be a simple way to remove it. Same goes with all the other services that Samsung has added that I don’t need. But hey, maybe I’m wrong – maybe most Samsung customers love the KNOX feature and in that case Samsung should continue in the path where they’re going while I look elsewhere.
